fordson major Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hi the tractor /loader and cab certainly looks good now the end is really in sight . Is the problem with the weight the red frame around it as I have never seen one like that before and it throws your eye out if you know what I mean or may be It's a little small scale wise it's hard to tell from the picture \. Keep up the good work and I am sure pictures of this will appear in a certain tractor magazines model pages after it has appeared in some shows around the country.

Tractorman810 Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 i think its the size?? ours on the farm had a red metal angle frame all round the center with the hooks welded to that, but i seem to rememebr it being slighlty longer width wise and depth wise, it used to be chained to the lift arms to stop it banging round from memory, was home made i must say, they didnt get the proper fergy made ones till they bought the 80 loader on the 290, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allis8550 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Everybody had a different style of counterweight as I remember, nearly all homemade, ranged from the same as Sean's to 45 gallon drums full of concrete, with a fergy 9 hole drawbar through them.

Tractorman810 Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 very true, the ones on the other farms were all different,one was a barrel for sure, the other concrete but not the same as this one was a triangle shape from memory top to floor so to speak hooks in the top no metal round it thanks for the comments guys, next step bucket painted and hopefully start the doors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordson major Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I just thought I had not seen anything on this wonderfull piece of work for a long time and came back a lot of pages to find it. Did the project get finished or shelved due to lack of time or loss of interest. Myself and probabley many others would like to see the finished model so could we please have an up date on what has happend . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
