PDC Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 This conversion was made by Martyn Reeve and cost ?100 I don't normally buy conversions or keep any of my own work :o I have a soft spot for this tractor as it was the first tractor I drove when I worked where my Dad works when I first left school ;) The quality of the model is second to none and I hope the photo's show this.

IH885XLMAN Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 what do you think is the base chassis looks like a uh rear end looking at it martyn has made the front weights himself as ertl models seem to be tapperd for moulding purposses also that front looks bob on and not just a 956 front whitch would have been to wide looks the buisness now who has the red and creame version he did :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH885XLMAN Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 looks like hes built the front (bonnet and subframe) from the ground up though as it looks better and more accurate than Ertls 956 or 784 and you couldent realy put a case ih (86)bonnet on a IH 885xl as CASEIH changed the subframe on the 85 range so martyn has done a exellent job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FW Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Mine too. Will Martyn do a run of them and keep us all very happy?
