MJB1 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 often see these little chaps with no roof , lost years ago probably , so i have converted one to be a low profile roof version , ideal for the dairy farmer , & a new look for the model cab apart with glass still intact cut the center of the roof out ,so the edges just stands proud of the glass roof looks a bit like this, some fine sandpaper is used to get it all level a replacement roof was cut from an old cassete case glued into place painted with plastikote smoke gray leave to dry & then fit to tractor another view alongsde another 362 with original fitted cab 300 series fleet pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 SPOT ON Marcus.... - What a fantastic idea mate... I can't believe that nobody has thought of it before now... hats off to you... All the 300 series were available with the low profile cab I think... you would "straddle the gearbox" as apose to a platform hi-line cab... What a great way to "rescue" these little tractors and make them new again... 11/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Interested Spectator Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Looks good sir, I have a cab with the roof missing as well. If you look at the early 300 series with the red roof and black cab, the shape of the roof is fairly similar to the Britains 362 cab minus the roof. The roof line of the early 300 series sits inside the line of the cab walls and sweeps backwards slightly. a Bit of filler and filling should get the Britains cab close to the shape of an early 300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus... would they fit a 135 as well mate would be a bit big for a 135 marky but may suit it better if it was a 185 like seans done , the centers would need sleeveing to fit the 135 axle as well not far off will , same tyres but from an old britains redland loader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
