JCB BLOKE Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Not too sure if this is the right place for these pics - but here goes anyway... Cookes 2 speed winch on a roadless Super Major which is a Scale Down model tractor kit with scratch built winch, being an accurate copy of a friends tractor and winch 10 miles down the road. Quote

allis8550 Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Wow ! those winches are brilliant, the detail is stunning. Quote
NIGEL FORD Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Well done JCBB, I remember talking with you on the phone about your intention to do this....pucker job,well done,thanks for posting up the excellent pictures. Quote
JCB BLOKE Posted October 28, 2007 Author Posted October 28, 2007 Thank you Nigel... Your Scale Down kits are great to work with... the hand brake levers off the E27N made excellent levers for the winch. It seems a long time ago since i ordered them. I will post pictures of the Roadless 90 once it is finished, that I got the Ploughmaster 6/4 axles for from you that arrived the other day - but don't hold your breath cos it will be a while yet.

nashmach Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Read the first post.... I know that but why is the real one oranged bonnet Quote
JCB BLOKE Posted November 1, 2007 Author Posted November 1, 2007 When the owner of the real Roadless Super Major bought it from Southampton, it was in a sorry state. It was only 2-wheel drive, but was actually a 4-wheel drive, as it had the sandwich still in it. He completely refurbished the engine and all other parts as needed, removed the non-original cab, then gave the whole lot a re-spray. The bonnet was re-sprayed orange to give a more industrial look to the tractor. All this work was done just prior to the 2005 National Tractor Run at Gisburn. In fact if you have a copy of the Tractor Run DVD you will see this tractor a couple of times. Quote
