1972farming Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 This is another one which we have all seen.I am in the process of making a siku fergie into a 135.Obviously a lot to do still.This is just an old bonnet and grille to get the basic idea.I have removed most of the oversized steering linkage,removed some of the rear linkage and taken off the rear lights.Lots to do but I will post up finished pictures when its done .And I am painting it red ..........not blue !

MJB1 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 no steve please don't put a cab on it , seeing as it has the rounded fenders leave it be :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972farming Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 You could be right there mate,as it is ,it looks different to the Britains one but I think it may lose something if I fit a cab. \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would LOVE to purchase one of these from you if you are making any to sell Steve please Thanks Marky,Please could you send me a copy of the brochure,it would be very helpful. I am going to leave them cab-less but I also may try to make one which is fitted with square mudguards,although it may prove tricky. I am currently waiting for bonnets,exhausts,front grils etc to finish them.I am also planning on making some to sell so ,of course you can have one. Cheers for the comments.

1972farming Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 I also prefer the red wheels and they are easier to use because they are allready there . I may do an industrial one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Thanks to the rest of you for your comments as well,do you folks think the red wheel centres look OK ? On it's way now Steve.. as for the red centres.... SPOT ON ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972farming Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Cheers Marky. I think I will try to do the front grill in silver as on the real thing. I want it to look a bit different to the britains type,even if it does use britains parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
