The Tractor Twitcher Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 tinkering along on 3 of these at present, getting back into the building game after a break That's looking very smart Sean. Just right for the 240. Got a little project going, early days but this will be my first scratch build, Any guesses?......... here's a picture or two, more to come soon. One of these Lee?...... .....or possibly? Look forward to following the progress of your Muir Hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuirHillyBilly Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I knew you'd get it quick mate, it's a 141. I thought a lot about doing a 121 or the monster 161 but felt the 141 is my fave as it is actually the first tractor I ever saw many many moons ago A few later pics; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I knew you'd get it quick mate, it's a 141. I thought a lot about doing a 121 or the monster 161 but felt the 141 is my fave as it is actually the first tractor I ever saw many many moons ago I've a few Muir Hill tractors in my collection of photographs including the monster 161 and 171 tractors they made Lee. As with most Ford conversions i'm a huge fan of them. I remember as a kid having a Matchbox Superkings 161 and dump trailer which gave great service in the sand pit. Regrettably though ( as with many of my carpet farming machines ) I sold it at a carboot sale. Fond memories too of a real 141 that used to work many years ago on the same farm just down the road from me that still runs the bubble cabbed Ford TW-25 that i've posted in other threads on here. I'll look forward with interest to seeing your 141 fully complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
