I like that idea Mark, would work on 1/32 with smaller bolts too 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Couple if big fords on the go, a TW-15 and an 8100 both converted from marge TW's. Think I'll change the 8100's rear centres for UH ford 5000 ones with bigger tyres and id like a bigger pair on the front But I'm stuck for ideas on that one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's right mark, don't know what would be any bigger.

Used to be a contractor round here ran them on both round and conventional balers and they used to fly up and down the road all summer so it is a model I was keen to have .

Valley Axe Man Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Nice work so far Martin, if they turn out anything like your other builds they'll look fantastic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Good to see an 8100 in the making Martin . You could wrap those Britains Ford 7000/7600 rear rims with the tyres from the old Britains MF 2680 or that era of Britains (mid 80's ) which are branded Dunlops on the side wall. I done it for my 7700 convo & it worked really well . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 The front tyres are plenty big enough. For bigger rear wheels on the Sankey wheel centres, you need a scrap ERTL Case 1690. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Thanks for the positive replies lads. I'll have a look at the tyres mentioned, thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mf135 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Here is my Ford 8100 that I produce I now use Britains Ford 7600 rear tyres on my wheels. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Great conversions and photos are very helpful thank you. I think I prefer them without wheel weights now I have seen those two, I'll have to have a look for some more centres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I prefer them without wheel weights now I have seen those two, I'll have to have a look for some more centres. The rear rims/wheels on an 8100 are 16.9 R38 Sankeys mostly which you wont find in 1/32 . Nearest looking thing is the Britains rims on there 4cyl Fords ..but they are 16.9 R34 (slightly smaller than what you need). and they will look alittle small under a big old 8100. You would get away with them under a 6700 but anything bigger from a 7700 up ..dont know!! I used the rims from a Britains Q-cab 6600 which are R34 Sankey representation on my 7700 convo ...but I wrapped them in Britains MF2680 rear tyres which in turn filled out the arches quiet well. Dave Purdue (DBP ) has some nice Sankeys also on his models. Could give him a bell. http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/ae59/gsmivec/IMG_1316_zpsbe5211be.jpg[/IMG] Another option might be ripping the wheel centres from one of these.. The Ertl IH 784 rims look like Sankeys . But I never had one & not sure will they look the part !! Edited June 6, 2016 by justy 46 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 The ERTL International 784 has 36" Sankeys. The ERTL Case and David Brown 1690s have 38" Sankeys. But I like the sound of the old Britains 38" tyres on the new Ford 34" wheels. Any pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But looking at the ERTL rims on the DB 1690 ..they do seem to fit the bill if you can find them . Only thing is the centre chrome stud on the bar axle which looks odd which all old Ertl models have anyway.. But Im sure someone could come up with an idea to get rid of it.

mb86 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Another option is the UH 5000 centres, they maybe too narrow for 16.9 38's though I could always add a bit on. They will be easier than the ertl db to find a pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protoyping for a FC1174, wanting to make a trio of lime spreaders, theres a great photo of all three together on google and then a winching rig for my collection.
