MJB1 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 been trying out something for sean over the last week or so & here are some of the results of his resin cast cab & floorpan for an MF 3600series . Unlike sean i have cheated somewhat , bu using the old floorpan as a base for the resin floorpan ,which for me makes it easier to mount onto the chassis , , sean may well try to cast this as part of the next floorpan for a straight swap onto an existing britains 26 / 36 chassis cutting the 26 floorpan down ready for use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 seans floorpan is molded as a direct copy to the ROS original so the cast needed to be altered to sit right on the 26 base Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 happy with the fit ,a respray was net , a white primer was uses , & the top coats were plastikote red & silver , the wheels on this tractor were white so they had a respray as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 as it looks so far , just have the rear windows & the fuel tank to fit, & find some steps , the glass has been cut from a CD case m not the tidyest convo , but not many of mine are , but if i can get a reasonable result with it , seans going to be onto a good thing ! sean is the first to admit that the cast for this cab isn't brilliant , a few air bubbles , a rear work lamp & n/s door is a bit messey , but all can be put right i daresay , but then , this cab has also been sat on by the dog twice , breaking the cab pillars ! my efforts are messy but then i'm trying to recreate a tractor thats over 15 yrs old anyway :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 looking good marcus mate, your gonna have a fleet of them at this rate aint ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Well, mission complete I'd say Marcus. It was trial and error so the outcome is not such a bad on anyway mate. At least it gives us an idea of what we can do and what Sean can do to improve/change/modify anything he deems needed. Nice one and very helpful to all concerned I dare say.

Tractorman810 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 plans are already afoot to alter the florpan to do what marcus did, not sure if it will be the whole one piece yet or cast the flooorpan he cut so 2 part floorpan overall? ,what do you recon marcus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted October 14, 2006 Author Share Posted October 14, 2006 really depends on what people want sean ,i would expect that many people will be looking to just replace the complete 2000series cab as a straight swap so a one peice in my view would be good sean, if people are brave enough to want to fit it to a UH chassis , then they'd be brave enough to want to cut it to fit anyway . in doing this sean yer giving people the chance to have something britains didn't offer anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted October 14, 2006 Author Share Posted October 14, 2006 how about casting a new bonnet for the 6180 chassis ,so's a 3080 /90 is achieveable ? soon going to have andy with a post for , "MEETING WITH SEAN" armed with a list of 'please can you make' from everyone here :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
