MJB1 Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 here's my effort at an MF 699 & this time it's not just a modification of something off the shelf \ britains volvo BM chassis ros hurliman floorpan & cab britains 2680 bonnet & grill siku 5455 front & rear wheels britains ford exhaust, drilled out & curved top pipe Quote
MJB1 Posted October 11, 2007 Author Posted October 11, 2007 rubbish pics , will have to get another camera at some point as the 699 didn't come supplied with front mudguards it's had some retrofitted Quote
ihatepoundland Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Wowwowwewa! Interesting chassis choice, any reason? Quote
IH885XLMAN Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 nice tractor marcuss and nice display mate Quote
MJB1 Posted October 11, 2007 Author Posted October 11, 2007 Wowwowwewa! Interesting chassis choice, any reason? wow nice job cheers Reece nice tractor marcuss and nice display mate thanks chaps rob the chassis choice was largely down to sean , who'd built his on the same , although others from the spares box were considered, the BM was the prefered choice. because of the design of the BM casting around the front axle mount it also let me use the siku axle to full effect to give me a fully articulate front axle Quote
ihatepoundland Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 interesting, would not have considered that myself...I've got a hurliman and a BM chassis in the shed, I'll bear that in mind if I ever make anything of them Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Flipping eck Marcus.... I love it... VERY VERY nice mate... looks the dogs Quote
MDFord Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Thats good MJB1 Always nice to see lots of different doner parts used to make up a conversion - makes it all the more interesting and unique with a lot of thought gone in to it. Quote
allis8550 Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Nice one MJB1, very well done, I don't think I would have thought up that combination of parts, really works well. Quote
Tractorman810 Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 looks even better in your hand to mate, lovley work , Quote

Deere-est Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 I have seen this and even driven it down the track to Leveret's Farm and I have to say lads, she is a beauty. Nothing expensive was used on it, just Marcus's intuition and knowledge of how a real one should look and this is how a real one looks!! A real gem of a conversion. Quote
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 Well thought out convo there Marcus, top marks! Quote
