sparrow legs Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 been toying with this idea for a while, ive made the small 70's small discs intoa 3 point linkage set, ive added support bars and frame. they are roughly based on the old Ransomes set my dad used years ago (they were sold in about 1990) i will be painting them blue when the weather warms up, ideal for the new 5000/7000 fords Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 i was thinking about something similar for my layout the other day, but after a yest draw through the coffee soil i found they heaped it up to much inbetween the discs and tractor, down to the angle i think, so back to the drawing board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 yeah that was my idea after a tset disc on the layout, sure i will do it some time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I've often thought about that mod as well. I was going to badge them as Parmiter. I'm also thought of making a set of Kverneland 15ft folding discs from the 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bahiafen Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Great idea there Mike One small point before you fix them permantly are the disc on the back row gogoing the wrong way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archbarch Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Great idea there Mike One small point before you fix them permantly are the disc on the back row gogoing the wrong way? great but the rear gang need swapping with front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 what did you use as a 3 point hitch mike ,I like that allot would look good on a future DAVID BROWN 1490 just like the broucher ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 can you do that on that model?, i thought they were fixed \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow legs Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 yes one gang runs different to the other, they will all be removed for painting anyway if the idea is liked i will make a few to sell, lookout in the for sale section the parts ive used are just left overs, i guess if i tell you nigel you will built ya own pm me if you want a set or more details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 can we have a pic of how the linkage is fitted mike , as i found the main frame too high & gave up , not to heavy for anything smaller than a 26 is it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow legs Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 yes they are very heavy, sits on a2680, ford 5610, mf 6180 etc, not tried it on a ford 6600 etc yet but will, case of fitting some front weights first will take a pick at some point, linkage aint in the correct place but it has the right amount of lift to raise lower where i have set it, top frame is for looks only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
