Tractorman810 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 rear end pretty much all done now, bar figuring out a pin or something so it will hold the plough up in transport mode, its a little to heavy for it, plenty strong enough with the resin implements not to worry about ,i may leave that for the 1250 so i could have a pair working in the field . also primed up the implements, and 2725 bonnet and wheels ready for top coats, two implements will prob be ransomes blue(need to get that) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
and2go Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 A bale grab that is complete as of last night except for painting. Already designing version 2 to aid in consistency. Got a grand total of 8 things (and counting) to paint but not doing them until I have enough to justify opening new jar of Primer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is keeping score. the Shed is still in bits waiting for suitable roofing material to be found. Have made a template for the sheets. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stabliofarmer Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Been tinkering with a Britains Series land rover. I'd seen alot of weathered and resprayed examples and started to see what sort of potential these have. I then dug into the archive to see that Damien (JCB bloke noticed this potential years ago). Anyway, so far pick up canopy, 3d grille, 6.50 (Near side) and 9.00 (Off Side) tyres with rims. Pretty happy with how it's going so far. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 It's been all Land Rover here this week as I've finally got a start playing around with a Cuthbertson conversion for the Britains LWB. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirTainly Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Good work on the Landie, reminds me of my old 88". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Look forward to seeing the Cuthbertson progress, I know you like your trips to Glenshee, and wondering if you ever saw the one thay used to sit at the LixToll garage at Killin, ?? https://www.lixtoll.com/ Regards Joe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Cheers Joe, got alittle more done this evening. No I never saw them, we always travelled up through Glasgow-Stirling-Perth so Lix Till was abit out of the way. I've had a good root around the example on display at the Gaydon motor museum though, there was one restored abit up the road from home in Huddersfield but I've never seen it in the flesh. Forestry rover is also on the build list though! (Both the Lix Toll vehicles are in Brazil now I think) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Looking good James, Aye i did reckon Killin was a bit of course, Think I did see it once coming back from my eldest Nephews wedding many moons ago. Regards Joe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret90 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 They look awesome James , that’s exactly what those series land rover’s needed! If you ever go into production I would definitely be very interested 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
