Ferret90 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Resprayed my U400 in silver from orange, not too sure what I'm going to do with it but it will probably be a tanker or limespreader. I still need to do around the badge and the wheels are going black... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 844john Posted February 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2019 Yes, it's the start of a 1454, while building the Muir Hill I have been using several articles in Classic Tractor as reference, one of which included a 1454, and the more I looked the more I thought what a good pair they made.........well, that's my excuse anyway 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Anderson Agri Posted February 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2019 Had a bit of time this evening so did a bit more on the mb Trac sprayer. Nearly finished now just need to tidy it up and fill in gaps, cut down booms and add some steps. I'm not entirely sure I'm happy with the wheels but the best I had to work with as the axles had been chopped about. Pretty happy overall how it ended up but it could all change again 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Have you any measurements or are you working from photos john? I agree they are a cracking pair, proper horsepower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree they are a cracking pair, proper horsepower. I started with the measurement for the wheelbase and wheel size but then mainly just scaling up from photos at the moment Martin. I wish there was one handy to have a look at as I'm a bit short of good photos at the moment, but like the Muir Hill I'm sure we'll get there eventually!

Anderson Agri Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 There was someone on facebook who had a 3d printed 8600 bonnet made up in 1:32 for a tractor puller. I'll see if I can find it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not starting anything else until you've cleared your bench.........what sort of talk is that Alastair? Trailer is looking very well, just wondering where you got the mesh from?, the grill on the Muir Hill is made from mesh and that looks about right for the job 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
