bluegreen Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 If my MF brochure is correct Sean the 5480 is a shortwheelbase 4cylinder 135hp + boost tractor and therefore is half a metre shorter than 6cyl 6480 !! The 5480 also lacks the shark gill airvents on the bonnets of 6cyl machines & has thinner exhaust stack \ The 6470 however has exactly the same bonnet as 5480 as it too (somewhat confusingly) is a 4cylinder tractor \ The 5470 (even more confusingly) is actually a 6cyl tractor with same appearence as 6480 Why MF could nt keep their 5400 numbering the same as 6400s is beyond me , anyway the only authentic conversion would be 6470 If you dont believe me look at the brochures (lots of pics ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 i will sort her a s a 6470 ,the more i look at it against the 6290 and the rest of the 6000's i have it does look a little shoreter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 had a slight accident today, knocked her off the shelf, which resulted in removal of the arches/cab, and bonnet along with breaking the front steering and part of the glazing to, (rear end) , so while apart i had to tinker didnt it , cant really tell where i repaired the glass now and fortunatly the front hitch survived if a little bent, so straightening was required there to,also beefed up the exhaust to suit a 6000 series as well , but seeing as it was apart i had to tinker didnt i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM190 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Do you just run a sharpe knife around the door untill it falls out and then attach a small piece of bar to it and put the bar up into the top of the cab and the mudguard to make it swivel ??? \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
