MJB1 Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted October 11, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted October 13, 2007 Share 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.
