Tractorman810 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 little tinkering today on my second uh mf590 i bought, fitted a 3 pint linkage to her, with tempory 9 hole spreader as i have lost my spare pma one somewhere?? next step is the doors which will need a little more work than i thought to get working, but i think they are workable ,also removed the reflectors and plough lamp as i dont remember ours being square, pretty sure we had a round 135 style one fitted to our 500's needs a little filing and touching up on the area above the pto guard to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Nice one mate... I am sure you are right on the plough lamp business... but I do think they had the reflectors fitted... I've certainly seen them on some around here \ - what's come off then above the PTO guard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 the top guard for the origonal tow eye/piun mate, so the trailer doesnt pop upwards just been looking at the chassis actually, i recon i can cut and shut for a 2wd one to, bonnets the only major issue then, will need a lot of cutting and reshaping to get the side pannels up front to the right size and shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Looking good . . . For a red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 its nothing major ricky, but it does look better than the standard hitch, matches the 135 now, i think it might be possable to fit a pick up style hitch to it to, all the base is there on the underside, just down to the lift part of it up top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masseyjack590 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 i was wondering how hard it would be to convert it to a grey cabbed 2wd and i don't know if the bonnet is shorter the plough lamp on our 590 at the farm is round in the spec i want to make oh yeah and on my workbench is my 3680 waiting for paint a 6290 waiting for a chassis and the shell of an 800t grainstore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 2wd is shorter, but not much , the bonnet would need altering thats for sure, as the lower side pannels are to big,and the actuall bonnet may be a tad to long to? sure mark can confirm, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masseyjack590 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 thanks for that once i get the model i'll be able to check because we have one at the farm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 well I am no expert... but the 590 4wd is longer than the 2wd... the extra length is taken up by the longer, beefier front tombstine casting which the axle mates to... so the bonnet is longer... by about 6" at a guess... will confirm shortly... and for that reason the side panels are much deeper which will require cutting down and re-shaping as Sean so rightly says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masseyjack590 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 thanks marky but if i need to cut down the bonnet i think i will leave it as a 4wd for now as i'm no conversion expert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordson major Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 thanks marky but if i need to cut down the bonnet i think i will leave it as a 4wd for now as i'm no conversion expert You admit to not being a conversion expert but at some point you are going to have to get the hang of it. get the tractor and hacksaw and have a go you will suprise your self .
