Tractorman810 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 hi guys it back on at last,hurray,anyway,here's my mf290 convo i have been working on,it's on a 362 chassis,with the loader fixxed to the chassis with a pin and bonded to the front of the chassis,scratch built muck fork and grill guard.,got a bit of a dilema now,the one on the farm came with a duncan cab(i'llpost pic with the second lot),but they mainly used the tractor with a fold down roll bar as 3 of the piggerys were low roof,does anyone have any experiance with scratch built cabs as i'm stuck on it.how-ever i have also found out that with the 698t cab i have,i also makes a very pasable 690.what o you guys prefer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FB Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 the last picture of the model (290e), above the real version....although if you can get a cab like the real one, then i think it would look better....can you?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Although it makes a fantastisc model in its own right i think the 600 series cab finishes it perfectly ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FB Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 yeah that would look good TM810!!...i want one! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 got the bonnets moulded now,going to try the floor pans next,then the cab's(690 and 362 types) if these work more may be on the way as the chassis are aesy to come by.the body works the hardest bits to get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenryk Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 DT does a Duncan cab. Might this be an option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 same as the one picture fenryk or the older ones?,it's quite a modern cab(early /mid 80's) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted September 18, 2005 Author Share Posted September 18, 2005 well here she is nearly finished,got the test decals on and tried a different cab option,a 362 painted with a different top fitted,closest i can get to the duncan with out scratch building ,put it next to the 698t for a size comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 thats well cool have if thought about it the way youve done that it now looks close to a early 390 if it was 4wdrive it would be good aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 18, 2005 Author Share Posted September 18, 2005 the 362 floor pand and bonnet can make several different ranges of mf,i have a 390t,the 290,and the 698t so far,it's just different cabs,i'm looking at the 4wd option,got a axel fitted already with 135 wheels on,got to make the rears now,got a few more clearer pics to,when i get a chance i will post a a few pics of all my convo fergys,and the standard one to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
