phil phoenix Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Had a good look at the new T7.300 today, after stiffening the front links I painted a MF weight block black and fitted that on. Also put the new 24 reg number plate on it for March registration😁 and a security triangle decal. also gave the bar axle another blob of yellow and painted the axle band black as UH had obviously forgotten! And as the radiator hoods on the real thing look black and not grey it also got a covering of matt black and now she's good to go😎 and replace one of my MF 8S models, much nicer looking tractor. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 2 hours ago, Tractorman810 said: splash of ransomes orwell blue,and some white gloss on the wheels and tamiya rubber black on the tyres, tyres went on really well despite the depth of the treads, which is good. a d finally seeing as these two will be mine, started some timber, if i sell some(5 ready to paint) they wont have this, its very time consuming to fit,and not cheap either compared to the other option They're coming to life with paint on Sean, have to admit I didn't think it would be possible to print what you've made, very impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Joe Dewar Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I just read the latest edition of Farm Machery Journal, And in it was an interesting article about Philip Trim's Krone Big X 980, But what caught my attention was the large additive tank on the back of it, So I figured I could sketch that up fairly easily in CAD, So I did that and here is the result, I put it on my 580 along with my old XDisc wholecrop header, https://farmtoysforum.com/topic/27296-f-a-o-james-teperand-anyone-else/#comment-653441 Regards Joe. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Some new treads on the Welly Unimog, pleased with how these have turned out. Properly scaled 495/70 R24 wheels (41mm diameter) were way too big so these are a nice compromise at 37mm. Just got to get the facelift bonnet kit finished now! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 cheers james, as much as that woods not cheap it really does finish the trailers off, especially the ransomes ones, look just like the brouchure pics, have two more 6 ton ones primed up now, ,but the workshop heater didnt arrive today,so top coats on hold.need to decide on this timber or my cheaper option of the stained stuff for the final ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Joe Dewar Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Just an idea Sean, But my Lad and his wife have these heater in their kitchen hanging on the wall, They just look like paintings but are Infra red heaters, they take up no space as you can hang them anywhere and have no naked flames / elements so ok around paint / thinners or glue. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126317620167?itmmeta=01HR324XG4WE7XJWCMNRBC66KS&hash=item1d691debc7:g:ZV8AAOSwwjlhVGF7&itmprp=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4HSZxLV5be1W5bKtlPO%2BVS6XLCiqGIrkWI%2FVGXslwo0rHgpMjkM0c1w%2FPo1KKv2EaJ%2FHTn8SqB8vvLWrr2jgkV8ru95T5Sk4i%2BUJKtoA0PhYECXIbj0BYleQDEWLBiCHZz%2F5HZwS90iuF5MO4sQQaE86YRZ7boVsyAVpEPweIcQezoxjMKUnUK5pEAqsNkKgM9HdsTfVFbuMbXDm%2Fuc%2FUqAjIZ4zPvKwwaYZ7x%2BtmGCZohoI9fO0kfRhntXiz%2Fv0UaWBNY4vh9UjEe0JDJAniWIUL63lPrvGjGE6GkEZQ4rn|tkp%3ABk9SR5bYk-LAYw Regards Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Joe Dewar Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) Nice little 2.5Kw ceramic fan heater Sean, But me being a pensioner these days, £ 1.40 an hour would be expensive if used to much, The heated picture is only 450W would cost less than 15p an hour.

Regards Joe. got 4” of celotex insulation in the walls of the shed, and roof,and double glazed door and window,,saved them from my old porch when we did the extension, so once i get it warm it does stay like it,so hopefully once its hot ,i wont need to run it like the old one needed to,.either way,got to be warmer 😂😂😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jd6320driver Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Few wee bits getting prototyped, improved splash plate for fitting to tankers, and the second thing I’ve been working on is a dci arm for slurry tankers And the real dci arm for context 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jd6320driver Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 And the first fit up of the dci arm, mounting bracket needs adjusting and then a bit more work on the arm with detail 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil phoenix Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Finally gotten round to having a play with my new NH T7 in standard blue. As luck would have it I had bought some T7.270 decals a while back just in case....................and as I intend to keep my blue power version as a T7.300 it makes sense to do the convo on ole standard blue. But first I have to get all the wheels off, no problem at all with the fronts, much more difficult with the rears, but eventually they came off without damaging anything. There must be a tool that works like a vice in reverse that gets behind the wheels and eases them off smoothly??? Anyone know of anything?? Masked off the NH T7 part and took the 300 off with nail varnish remover in a second. Cut the decal down to 270 and stuck it in place, looks ok, would have preferred waterslide but don't know who does them. Also took a look at the awfully poor turning circle, soon cured that, unscrew the ram microscrew and pullout the metal part, cut the plastic ram sleeve by 4mm (thats enough!!) fitted it back together and did the other side. Now the fenders almost touch the bonnet on lock. Next up will be wheels/tyres, and I am going to use a set off the UH CASE Puma 240 as they are perfect for this tractor. Replica 650/ 75/R38s + 600/70/R28s ............primed them first and will spray with New Holland bianco white. UH white is toooooooo white, should be slightly off white. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
