MJB1 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 not impressed with front linkage on everything , so have decided to remove them from the 2 5455's i have , the loader tractor linkage i felt was not needed anyway. the weight block on the loader tractor comes from an old siku deutz 4.70 & the other from a britains 2680, the wheels on the other 5455 have come from a siku deutz K110 of whick i personally think look just that little bit better comments welcome , good , bad, or indifferent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Another very nice job Marcus, The wheels off the Deutz certainly do make the tractor look much better as does the weight block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 SWEET!!!!! ;D looks great Marcus, i need to do that with my 5455's i think.I have a PDC/Agrium front weight on one though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunn Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 looks good with the deutz wheels, been meaning to get one with a loader since ages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallclaas Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Looks great Marcus, the larger wheels on the 5455 make it look like a 6490! slightly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allis8550 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Nice improvements, I always thought a front linkage looked silly on a loader tractor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ford Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 looking more closely at holderness models 5455 on lpg tyres , i think i've got the same tyres fitted \ you've worked out his secret marcus :o. for some reason the wheels and tyres look better on the massey than the deutz. ???

sparrow legs Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 looking more closely at holderness models 5455 on lpg tyres , i think i've got the same tyres fitted \ no flies on you marcus, thought it wouldnt be long before someone copied the wide wheel mod it makes the tractor look so much better , just a thought wouldnt you have been better putting the wider wheels on the loader tractor as the wider fronts are more suited to loader work \ (guess the secrets out ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holderness Models Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 there easy to fit marcus, did you realise the trick to get the backs to turn without hitting the inner wing to be fair the wheels were bought in from a tractor that had row crops fitted, any more we sell we will have to split a deutz for the wheels, no great loss as im not keen on that model, sold the one i had after i saw it out of the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Simple and effective Marcus, maybe a decal change on the one with the bigger wheels? Looks like a bigger sister of the loader now mate. Both models looking swell. Me, jealous? The Third Duke Of Wimbourne? With my reputaaaation?!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Only just found this Still wading through unreads!! The Deutz wheels suit that Massey far better, makes it look alot beefier! Smart little conversion there on them both Marcus, weights are a nice addition, I have to agree the Siku A frame does ruin the appearence, but that, is spot on!

rich.new holland Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 ive been looking at mine and how do i get the wheels off the axles without damaging them maybe a help topic could be made \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow legs Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 a round pin ie: an old axle, put it in the center of the wheel rod, hit with a hammer and the retaining ring should come off, same for fronts and backs, maybe worth a how to post as you say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
