An Interested Spectator Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Marky, Silly question time. At some point i am looking to convert a Britains 2680 to a two wheel drive 2640. Given the use of the later style of side decals ie those without the raised 'MF', what would be the correct chassis colour ? From the picture you posted of the later 2680 it would be slate grey rather than the metalic grey Britains used. and, second question, was the two wheel drive version still around at the time of this update ?

Adrian Well Aiden... my initial response if that the facelift models had the darker grey (brownish) chassis... it was only the first version that was given a stonleigh grey engine and tranny.... HOWEVER... I will check it out for deninate... The seconds question is a definate yes... they were available in 2wd from the 2620 to the 2680 (and that I have just checked) I am 99.9% sure on the paint... but I will confirm that when I get home tonight (yes... the life of a fruiterer is never easy lads... I am at work on a Sunday :'( :'( ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 markys is right there, only the early versions had the high bonnet decals and grey chassis, later had the straight decal versions and dark charcoal chassis, i have done a 4wd in the early version, and i have near as finished a revamp of my 2640 2wd i have to an early version, with new cab ect fitted, as the first was pretty por to say the least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phipps Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Can't remember if mine's a 2680 or 3690 as it's up in a cupboard at my father's place.I do know one thing & that is the cab frame is definately silver/grey & not the white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
