Guest MF 550 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Of all the MF 550's ive seen some had 28"rims same as grey fergie 35 135 ford 2000/3000 DB 885 Ih 275 and some had 32"rims so as britains scale goes they are not far away also all mf 500 series models had the same size cab i.e i twisted the door on my 550 so i managed to get one of a breaking 590.

MJB1 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 here's braggs old 550 , on 28in rears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 if they had 32"ers on them then mine are nearer to that than the 28's, as for a rear hitch ,dont think theres a way to get a siku hutch on the 135 chassis as they are to big ,didn't have that prob with mine seeing as the hitch was all built on the 362 one anyway,you could try dt if your missing bits for the 135 as he has spares i would say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 they both look good to me & im not chaneing the wheel size on mine now i might have a go at more soon as the cast is made still got to tart up mine yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 yeah both look good mate,prob way to much hassel to change the wheels on a 135 chassis anyway,would need to dril out the new ones for the studs to fit ect, have you tried walker parts for the decals,i might have a spare set if not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 that last side profile pic looks bang on the mark nigel :) every thing about he size ,even the wheels look right , apart from having half the engine in the cab of course :D i think seans 550 may be better off as a 565 ? see if you can find some of the very early dunlop type tyres from the original TW20's as they were slightly wider than the ones from the last of them like the 5610 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
