Tractorman810 Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 well got all the moulds made now for the parts on this cab arches bonnet so have got her properly started my new 690 , running on a mf 595 chassis which these replaced in real life so its the right size, its sporting a heavly modyfied mf 595 bonnet which has been widened all the wat down its lenght to make it look square like the 600 series bonnets, and unlike my origonal one has now got the right arches to, loads more to do to it yet, but thought you would like to see her all being well time allowing i will be doing more to sell at a later point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 I have some low sided ones on the go..... a bit different to that one though. they used to have 3 of these on the farm ,two red and a blue one think they were early weeks trailers although not 100% sure on that used them for a fair old while until they got the marstons, still kept them for general duties though , hence why i wanted one ro two ,for my 70's/80's layouts i have a low sides one for muck carting duties based on the britains drop side animal one, but white metal , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 side by side ,looks like you'll have to call the new one a 698, here's a pic for finishing her if you need it this is one i used to drive at Cricket Malherbie Estate, it was well knackered when i had it , but managed to sort of tidy her up, but hydraulic failure was her downfall, used to do 90% of all fert spreading, but on a steep hill when turning to go back down the lift arms used to drop & the PTO would stop managed to re-route all the cab electrics into a single feed to a crocadile clip & clip it onto the alternator , it was a C reg so it was before the adjustable steering wheel was standard fitment , the rubber cab mountings were shot , so it was a very noisy & harsh ride , not the best i've driven , but used it to spread fert on some of the steepest slopes on the farm that wern't usually done & when hauling maize ,it never got stuck once , although the massy 100 tanker did cause it a few problems , when spreading on steep maize stubble when it was wet, it was also the hedge trimming tractor , it was later replaced with a 698T 4wd , which was as new :), in the end i'd rather drive the 698T than the 3080 for many jobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
