MJB1 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 ? sorry but i don't agree with the rest for red wheel centers , the only 135's about now with the red wheels are concours tractors , the mainstay workers on farms today have the gray wheels , every where you look in magazines & tractor shows are red wheel 135's . tooooooo much of that nonsense steve you know what you like as do we all , but for me your tractors look great with the plain silver , they look great with the red as well :) personal preference for me says silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 VERY true Mr B... Very true.. It was only the very first versions that had the red centres... Like you say... it's done to death out on the vintage circuit.. Personally... I do like this one in red though... So Steve... One for Marcus in Silver.... One for marky in red please Customers hey.. who'd ave em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I am undecided on the silver front wheels, but they look okay in the red. I wonder if this is because I am familiar with the Britains version and the front wheels were smaller. \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Interested Spectator Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Personal preference for the red wheels. Something a bit different. Would this not make a 130 as well as a 135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972farming Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 I also had a play with one of the left-over fergie bonnets and tried to make it more 35x - ish ! Its difficult making it but this is what I have done so far. It will look better with some decals fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Thanks Steve... I reckon I can produce the front badge for you if you wan't it... I have now scanned a Massey logo which will scan down to something really small... experimenting for Sean at the moment.... but I can send you some files you can print yourself on the correct paper if that helps Steve \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 looking good steve , (still not keen on the red wheel centers ) is that 135 bonnet an original or a repo , as the sides look a bit deep , ideal for a 165 ? 185 ? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
