Tractorman810 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 guys wondered what you think of this,bought it of ebay for parts,and curious about the bonnet from the pics,,its on a 3680 chassis with some siku wheels fitted on the rear,and jcb fasttrac fronts,anda 6140/80 cba and arches fitted,i think its a bit to small for a 81 series,but thought i would post it up see what you thought of her, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 hmmm definatly to small for a 8160 let alone a 8180 needs to be bulkier to be a 8180 and cab isnt like that well needs struts, heres a pic of a 8170 thats very similar bar hp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FP must have gotten more trolleyed at his 50th birthday party than even I expected! :o (or maybe the "big red beauties" he was referring to were something other than the red and grey tractors (or scrap metal, as they are known around here) that Marky thinks he was referring to. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow legs Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 correct me if im wrong but they never built a real life 8180, the 8170 was the biggest in the 81 series but they made a 8280 in the 82 product line (if they did make a 8180 ive never herd of one but a few may have been made in the last 81 batch.

MJB1 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 change the wheels sean & i recon it'd pass for an 81 series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 its weird as who ever did it spent a fair bit of time sanding the bonnet to shape and to a very good finish to,but then didn't bother with the rest,?? shes all broken up now anyway ready for future projects anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 really ? i recon a wheel change would have been all it took to transform it to a reasonable looking tractor , as has been said between us many times , sometimes a wheel change can make all the difference , between making or breaking a model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
