powerrabbit Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Been playing about with this one over the weekend. Can't quite finish it, need the correct decals and the cab glazing, Can anyone help? Mirrors and possibly a roof beacon might help finish it off as well.

powerrabbit Posted March 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 http://www.farmmodels.co.uk/spare-parts-farmmodels.html Looked at that one but he do'nt do the cab glazing or the correct decals. I'll give Brian Norman a bell tomorrow he usually carries a lot more bits than what is listed on his catalogue. Thanks for that anyway.

powerrabbit Posted March 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 try dt, he maybe able to help with glazeing, got my decals from brian but never fitted them, job to do i guess convo looks tidy by the way, i did mine on the newer plug wheel version, beefs it up abit I thought about him, thanks for that SL. All the convos of this one I've seen have used the 7710 as a base as they have the black grille and wider wheels/tyres, like you say, beefier. I used the 5610 as a base because the real jubilee was a four cylinder I believe, the 7710 was a six, am I right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow legs Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 not sure as to 4 or 6, i thought they were 6, i will ask my mate as he drove one, still has the original pwerter model but sold the real tractor about 5 years ago, went into presivation, they wish they had kept it now as the prices are plain crazy for real mint ones could have funded another jd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4C Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 I think that you will find a Ford 7710 was about 103hp with a 4 cylinder and a Ford 7810 was about 116hp with a 6 cylinder with a 66/7610 style lower bonnet as the fuel tank was to the inner of the n/s wheel and not over the engine as the 7710.

powerrabbit Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 does brian have a catalogue list of the parts he does? Yes, he does a catalogue but very often he carries more bits than what is listed and is a great chap to deal with. Give him a ring, 01646 661645 and he will send you a catalogue.

TS135A DRIVER Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Hello there. Have you tried contacting Brian Holmes from Marshtop Farm Keighley in Yorkshire for decals for your conversion ? He did have some very good decals for sale at 1.50 per set for the 7810 silver jubilee. Give him a bell in the evenings on 01535 642184. He might be able to help on the decal front. Sorry I can't help on the cab glazing though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Yes, I was aware that Brian did a set of decals for this one but I am going to wait until the next Toytrac at Wincanton as I usually buy quite a lot of bits from him when I need a fair amount. As for the cab glazing I may find something at the next local toyfair next Sunday week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallclaas Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Power rabbit, you can get clear plastic glaze from any model shop in different gauges. It usually costs about 50p an A4 sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Perdue does a one piece vacuum formed glazing for the 5610 Britains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
