Powerstarâ„¢ Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 If you can remember I made a Massey Ferguson 2685 Electronic a while back out of just a chassis really from a bootsale. I enjoyed making it so much I thought i'd make another, I sourced another chassis down and held a poll to determine the next model number. I think they were: 2620264026802685 Marky was adament it should be a 2620, and the results ended with 2620 the winner. I did start on the model but slowly forgot about it and had other things on, until today when I remebered it and found it amongst other stuff. I had a good go on it this afternoon, and now it looks a bit more presentable. Here's a picture of what it did look like; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 And now how it is today, I'm running it on rear 34's as it matches a local 2640 that I quite like, just needs the decals, mirrors, and the door painted black on the cab. Tell me what you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 You'll have to double check with someone like Marky, but I believe they were built from 1979 - 1984 \ So for a 5 year stint I believe quite a few must of been made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light Land Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 The 595 also looked stronger than it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Cut the fenders off the fron Luke, any 2000 series with front fenders was a rare one. They are out there and I have seen a few but I'm lucky enough to have seen dozens of these series and I know of 11 in the same place right now, not one has front fenders. Coming on nicely all the same though. A bit of terrier sh1t brown paint to the interior would add a bit of detail too sonny jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
