MJB1 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 been busy today & while i was messing about waiting for the ploughs to dry , i thought i'd have a go at a britains economy ford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 it started off brown with orange wheels & grill & white mudguards,. the cab was bought at spalding with this in mind, so was about time it was done the blue isn't as dark as it looks in the pics ,poor lighting i'm afraid even found a driver with kverneland overalls to demonstrate the plough ! the windscreen was copied from another cab the same & a piece of lamination was cut to fit just really needs decals now , so a visit to DT in the new year will have to be done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich.new holland Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 that looks tidy mjb is that the same as a roadless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 depending on what size the roadless is the same skid unit from ford would have been used , so the 7600 would be a roadless 98 ? but this is based on the 4wd that ford would have released under it's own name , who the front axle supplier would have been i don't know unless it was ford themselves .

If i remeber correctly zf made most of the 4wd axles for most makes of tractors in the 80s and i think roadless made there own ? lovely job on the 7600 loooooooooooks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 added decals & a proper exhaust ,just need the front grill to finish it really,but forgot to get it got some decals on the old 2wd as well but this tractor will not be resprayed , i like it as it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Black exhaust and blue hubs would be nice sonny jim. Done a good job on both. I too like the older look on some tractors and the 2wd will look nice parked round the corner on the slurry pump or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black exhausts didn't come in until the "Q" cabs when they also gained length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
