phil phoenix Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Ive been meaning to do this convo for a while, Ive stripped down my old Puma 175cvx and resprayed it in official CASE red. I got fed up looking at UHs obviously wrong colour red!! Ive also filed down the bonnet plaque that inexplicably got designed in on the UH original. I left the original front wheels and tyres on it but used the rear wheels from a CASE Vestrum and tyres from an Claas Axion 550. I also put a 1mm packer under the cab platform to lift the rear fenders clear of the tyre and allow the cab too tilt forward a bit further. I have new style decals on order, should be here soon. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil phoenix Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Another CASE Puma on the go. This time it will be a 240. I was never to keen on the UH long wheelbase Pumas as the bonnet wasnt great and the cab frame is iffy too. Ive made others in the past using a Britains Puma bonnet and the 240s chassis and cab and respraying the red tinwork. So this time to really get it right Im using the more accurate cab and fenders off of the 175 model and extending its chassis too house the Britains bonnet. That should be the best of both worlds, Ive already sprayed the red parts with real CASE paint and decals are on the way. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil phoenix Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Whilst im still waiting for parts for my Puma 240, I have moved ahead with my third CASE rebuild this time it will be a Maxxum 150. I stripped it down and resprayed CASE red, adusted the floor pan to tilt the cab forwards and switched the wheels and tyres with a Vestrum 130. I will post it all up properly on the tractor conversions when I finish it next weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stabliofarmer Posted November 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2020 Heath coming together virtually, had to move to 3D CAD to get the design finalised and start cutting as soon as I get home at Christmas. Corona certainly scuppered the plans to work the laser cutter hard over the Autumn term. Anyway plenty of functionality and features included while retaining the overall look, and being limited to 2mm and 3mm sheet materials. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tractorman810 Posted November 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 29, 2020 Waiting for parts and shops to open for the layout project so had a tinker with a rough set out on this, mk2 transit flatbed will be a local dealer service van for the layout , probably mf but maybe a tuckwell’s one like my uncle used ,either way it will be plain white silver body black chassis , rear flatbed a perfect fit from a old project but it looks a bit to modern so a new one will get built 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
