CJ Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 another great model! wat else are you going to pull out o that magic hat of yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Superb Sean! You going to badge it up as a Lee? If I was going to suggest one change, I'd look to reduce the overhang at the back. Moving the weight that far behind the wheels would very likely lift the rear wheels of the tractor or snap the hitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Well blow me down a F me sideways Sean... That is superb mate... WOW is all I can say.... it looks just like the 24 hi-tip as well :o Got to be a Massey then hasn't it Must have been a real nightmare to work out... especially from just one brochure pic... Cracking work Mr P indeed... again.. That needs to be in a magazine or two mate... it's too good to keep to yourself Makes my hours or up-loading brochures all worthwhile mate... thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Here you go Sean... turns out it was a 22 that was the hi-tip mate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 was it, dam eyesite,did take some figuring out i have to say, and several attempts to as for the overhang theres a second pic on sheet two of marks stuff and the overhang isn't to far of that i have made the sides a bit to high,they prob need to come down half of the top section,more like marks pic, the basic idea from the brouchure was it gave height and reach back to from the blurb in it can you post page 2 mark? now giving consideration to a high lift marston like marts pics a while back, have a pretty good idea how to do it after tinkering with this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 ta very much marky ah see i think i deff have the sides a bit to high at present Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 ta very much marky ah see i think i deff have the sides a bit to high at present I guess that would be too much weight if they were that tall Sean... will it be easy to cut her down a little....

Tractorman810 Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 yeah no probs, the first one is taller sided than the second pic,but not as high as i have made mine, the body was built for a standard trailer, then i saw this and just went for it, printed the front page and sat in the shed, will trim it tommorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 the only thing i did realise after i finished was that the top chassis section should have been the same as the bottom, mine aint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
