Tractorman810 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 well he she is so far,running on a mf 362 chassis with a standard front axel fitted and modyfied mf 6140 wheels on the rear,sanded down to take chaffewr/ford 5000(old version) tyres,only fractionally bigger than the 362 rears as suggested by marcus but look far better down to the hubs , only catch is on the 362 chassi i can't make the rear hatch open up as the lift leaver is in the way,so will have to add another extra bit now to add detail up to the 575 standard,door will open but only one as this will be an ewarly silver and red cab type arches have been cut in half lenght wise and cut back to fit the chassi,then added a fack floor to hide the cuts,only way to get it all to fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 last 2 for now one with the origonal rear 362 tyre which was fine dia wise but looked way to think and a second showing how much smaller she is against a normal 595 chassis,the rear wheel centers are lined up at the back to show how much size difference there is now sits a bout 5mm lower,and 3/4 cm shorter bonnet wise which looking at the classic tractor mag pics looks just about right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 prefer the chunkies to the skinnys sean , but other than that WOW :) :) :) just need to fill the back of the cab in & job done , :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 yea,the chunkys dont really look right to be honest marcus,but will try them out when i have finished her of ,still not sure i can get a proper front axel on at mo either, the jd one may be to wide and high and the tyres to big ,just waiting for it to turn up so i can have a paly,then hopefully able to get everything chassi wise painted up,and start finishing it of then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Could you use the chunky ones for a MF 565?? ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 if i did a 565 i would go for the same setup as the 575 i did and use the wider ros rears,as they are near as the same size in real life the 565 and 75 as far as i can see its only the 550 thats smaller i think,may be wrong though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 No I think you are right - the 565,575,590 were all about the same size as far as I remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 markys right the 550 is the smallest the 565 was slightly shorter than the 575, the 575 was comparable in size to the 590 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
