Tractorman810 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 590 rims yes, but not ttv tyres, they are way to big dia wise and throw the tractor to high, will have a look and let you know, will know the name when i see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Palmer Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 nice sean,so are the front weights upside down then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 front weights are upside down, but the actual hanger is the right way up??? beats me, that said mine are coming off anyway ,just the hanger for me,got some removable weights in the shed to go on this one now re-done the hubs, have removed the lump you see in the 590 patv wheels, and given it a flat hub with the stud detailing and rings still visable,the second hubs just drying glue wise, all they need now is the inner rims sorting ,which i think i have found a suitable tube for then its paint time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 nice sean,very nice,was the 590 hump easy to get off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 very when you put your mind to it :laugh: each wheels taken me arround 30 mins tops,in total so far , will take more to get a suitable finish ready for paint obviously, best bit is ,i have a use already for the 2640 hubs, using the 590 tyres ,and the donor hubs from the new tyres will provide the filler for the new patv inner rims, so overall the only waste from the lot so far is the 2640 tyres and a tiny bit of the donor hubs center , and i am sure they can be used somewhere at some point especially the tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 and what back tyres have you used then sean,and how did you remove the lump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 tyres i cant find right now, cant get on his website, but they were picked by eye from the big box he had of them, they are uh, just cant remember the model, removal of the humps my secret for now , but i can tell you that it took 3 mins a wheel and they havnt been sanded down or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 They look like they're possibly McCormick MTX wheels. They're the same type used on the beefed up Ford 8830 conversion I bought home with me. Top work on the 2640 so far, looks so much better as a result.

Paul Palmer Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 just out of interest sean what in real life did the mf 590 run on then ,rear wheel size i mean ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 pretty sure they would have been 34's or 36's ,and have a feeling that the patv ones were 34's, they fitted the other in the range like the 2000's ok, just had bigger tyres to make it work, have a look at the 2605's which were usally the ones fitted with the patv's . big tyre walls and fatter width wise, but the hubs quiet small compaired to the usual pressed wheels they usally ran , the ones like the uh 1200 are fitted with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 just checked sean,your right 590 would have been 34's standard,the 2640 exactly same size apart from being 38's,but both wheels off uh's 590 and 2640,look in your pictures the same?

Tractorman810 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 i am pretty sure the patv centers were all the same, they just added larger outer rims width (the moving part) to fit wider tyres, hence the bigger tyre walls you see in the pics compaired to the normal pressed hubs you saw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 thought it could be done mate , that said they have taken some battering today , took a while to redo one tonight after i stood on one as the cats had knocked it of the board . didnt see it,think i may have found some tyres to suit the front now, right overall diameter, but they may need a bit more work on the hubs to get the widths right, and some patv guides ect added as most i have seen with the patv rears have the fronts fitted to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 been tinkering with the 2640 inbetween tiling today as well, have swaped the rear tyres as after a lot of pondering i think they may have been just a tad to wide??? and didnt suit the front tyres i had found either, so shes now running uh 5480 tyres all round, again they are all the same diameter as the origonals, but are about double the origonal tyres width, personally i think they do look better all round than the origonal sets i picked, still need to widen the rims on the front hubs, and sand out the rears ready for paint 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenside MF Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 The track width looks much better with those tyres Sean.Nice model your customising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 cheers jamie, shes getting there, biggest job really will be the bonnet ,as i need to swap the exhaust to the other side to match the air cleaner, as the version it willbecome has both on the one side ,therefore i need to try and match the paint , i have a feeling that plasti coat red matchs the uh mf red very well ,otherwise its a full strip and repaint the arches to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
