Massey Loadall

[Goodhead]

Was wandering the other day whether a Britains JD loadall is similar enough on the outside to convert it into a massey loadall

I haven'nt got the jd loadall so cant compare.  any one else know whether this would be a good conversion to do.

Hi Goodhead,

It depends what scale you want? If you don't mind 1/25th, then use the Ertl Bobcat telehandler - it's a straight repaint. The MF telehandler is made at the Bobcat (was Sambron) factory in France, same machine just different colours.

This is a conversion I've been meaning to do one day when time allows.

Good luck!

i have a jd3400 i am going to convert to one of these,closest i can find to the shape apart from going down the 1/25 route ,hopefully going to start it soon

also try looking at the ros merlo it loos very almost the same ?????

[FB]

yeah but the ros merlo isnt the best of models...although it does have the best reach of all the telehandlers i have!

I have a New-Ray JCB Loadall and the reach on that is good. Nothing like th MF though.

Yeah, the New Ray/JCB Junior Loadall has a huge reach. I was surprised when I took it out the box. Mine is however, converted into a CAT TH62 telehandler.

got the grey paint for the tele arm today,so might leave the pig unit for a day or two,and make a start,this wall building is a tedious job i can tell you
