Johny mf Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 I just made the paper pathern for the bonnet I always do that because i can look how it looks like when i make the side off the bonnet from plastic By doing this i can ajust it (the look/shape off the bonnet!)whitout trowing away the expensive plastic plate i use for my bonnets! This is the look of the model whit the paper bonnet! So what do you think is this the wright shape for this type off tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MF 6265 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I think you`re bonnet is a bit to big there, if you look at the original 8160.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 looking good johny, like olav said bonnets a tad to big, but not that much, ,hard to tell from the pics though, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civilpek Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 i agree maybe slightly big but other then that the shape of them seems spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny mf Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 Just draw a new one on paper and cut that out also Now it looks like this! its much much lower and i think the hight is to small now I mean just left above the frontwheel!

Tractorman810 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 how much smaller is that new one to the old??? its only a tiny bit to big from what i could tell, the shape was spot on, maybe it was just to high up the chassis rather than to big if that makes sence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny mf Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 The old one is 5mm higher then the new one! I can adjust the chassis the same way as my 7495 and then the bonnet lowers about 4 a5mm! here is a photo to comparis the two bonnet's above the new one and 2nd one is the old one! The new one is fast drawing and i will make a new one whit that hight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 try that first mate, the origoanl looks right bar the height, the actual size may well be right, just drop it down the chassis slightly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny mf Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 try that first mate, the origoanl looks right bar the height, the actual size may well be right, just drop it down the chassis slightly think i would do that sean I remember that they where al saying something the same whit my MF7495 But when it where finished (lowerd the bonnet on the chassis) they all sayd :o :o This one looks great/perfect! Could be the same whit this project And iff i look at the Photo's of MF6265 the bonnet asks to be lowerd compared to the frontwheels and compared to the cab!

sparrow legs Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 bonnet looks great now, can you drop the cab a tad as the gap between the wheel and rear mudguards looks big \ the model is great, the second bonnet you did could make a 8220 xtra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny mf Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 bonnet looks great now, can you drop the cab a tad as the gap between the wheel and rear mudguards looks big \ the model is great, the second bonnet you did could make a 8220 xtra where thinking the same about the cab!

allis8550 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Looking good so far Johny, you also need to get rid of the diesel tank and build a new one behind the cab for a 8100 Massey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johny mf Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 Looking good so far Johny, you also need to get rid of the diesel tank and build a new one behind the cab for a 8100 Massey. Where thinking the same Allis its just a start what ive done on the models so THERE IS A LOT OFF WORK ON THESE MODELS BEFORE THE ARE FINISHED! Here is a list off plans what i am going to do! Loose the siku front hitch and replace that one by a UH Atles hitch (already orderd!) Cut off the tank from the chassis and make a new one on the back off the cab! Customize the interior!(thinking off using the 8280 interior!) Maybe chaince the tyres whit UH Atles wheel (not shure iff that works!) Make the bonnet from plastic plate Adjust the chassis And want to chainse the stairs because the Britains MF6290 stairs are to small! That would be the plan in headlines!
