844john Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 What is on my workbench?? Found this when I was sorting through some unfinished builds so I thought I’d see if anyone knows what it is..bearing in mind it’s not finished yet. I have a feeling the Tractor Twitcher might😉 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 A Newbern Power Frame! Great to see you building one of these John, that looks ace. Wrote about this one for the 200th issue of Classic Tractor Magazine. It's still being used by a good friend of mine. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember starting it after I’d seen it in the magazine, but like a lot of other builds it got sidelined. Should try and get this one finished actually, some of those photos will help!😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No John I've tried to cast a new different rear wheel to go on my IH 275 using the rear centre wheel off a atlas editions Ted 20 and using the front tires off a if Britain's 956 4wd would go well but look at all the flash the mould leaves behind ...might dremmel it off I dunno ha The 165 I would lengthen the height of a Britain's 135 rear fenders to fit the 165/595 chassis the bad part is how to make a good bonnet and nose cone for a 165 the one in the above pick is the best I've seen home made hate a 1080 uh or martyrs farm models 165 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Anderson Agri Posted September 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2021 Came to the reluctant conclusion that the new UH Dexta was perfect fit for a scraper tractor for the farm, so started this evening to weather it up,just need to get some solid muck to go on hopefully not over do it too much but want it to look right. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks a lovely job mate. I have been thinking about adding a vintage tractor to my layout (whenever that might appear) and not sure whether to get that one or a 35X. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 very tidy zac, mind you i can see some good hand brake turns with those rear tyres 😆 would one of those marge ? yard scrapers fit her better do you think ? or would they be a bit to new looking . there was also someone doing a 3 d printed one on facebook recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 35x sat here as well as a power major, but i opted for the dexta as it was a bit older than the other 2 and has a better detailed 3 point linkage and suits better, 35x would have been my other choice but i think this fits better 24 minutes ago, Tractorman810 said: very tidy zac, mind you i can see some good hand brake turns with those rear tyres 😆 would one of those marge ? yard scrapers fit her better do you think ? or would they be a bit to new looking . there was also someone doing a 3 d printed one on facebook recently Had a hard life for sure! Shame cant batter some tinwork, i think theyd be a bit new the britains one is a little on the large size scale wise but typical of the 60s era, were they Fleming 3d printed ones? I think i saw them but way to new for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janval Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I've had this Zetor with a missing axle sitting for a couple years now, kind of fiddling about with what to do. I've refrained from models that has no link to real machines so far, but I was toying with the idea of converting it with a County axle. Making it a big forrestry tractor in the end. Wheels as of yet undecided, but they were a fit in size. Any thoughts on this abomination? 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janval Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 A second addition to the forrestry scene, trying to make some decent protection before finishing the crane that goes on the back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jd6320driver Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Another 6cyl 40 series Ford 7840, this time on a stretched imber chassis. Just have to decide if I’m going to cast or print the engines for the next few I’m building 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I've found it too much of a hassle to even begin. Dismantled it and put it all back together in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
