Lord Ferguson Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Similar packaging to the silver Fordson Power Major.. Nice looking model.... pity the tracks don't match \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deerepower Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 was just thinking the same about the plinth and not sure about the rear tyres \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 looks nice few little niggles like the tracks, but heres a question for the fordy, would it normally have the newer style pick up hitch and the older pin type fited at the same time, never seen that on any real tractor that i can remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 maybe at the time of making the tracks the wheels were set in for something now set out a bit for potatoe work or something ;D ;D are the decals right or wrong?

NIGEL FORD Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 was just thinking the same about the plinth and not sure about the rear tyres \ Don't get me started....as I've said before I'm not going to publish all the faux pas here, but the drawbar is used with the pick-up hitch in place, but not the other way round.

NIGEL FORD Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 maybe at the time of making the tracks the wheels were set in for something now set out a bit for potatoe work or something ;D ;D are the decals right or wrong? Decals are sort of right for a late (revised) version but are not complete.You'll have to wait for ours to compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Is the grille photo etched as the Major grill louvres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deerepower Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 didn't the early 5000's have super major where the 5000 is and the 5000 was at the front? \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Is the grille photo etched as the Major grill louvres? i'm not following? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 i'm not following? Perforated metal instead of just 'patterned' plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 do i have to unbox it again?? :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mf135 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I think UH have done a great job on this one but i don't know unless i have miss it on here they have cocked up abit as Ford 5000 were and still are 4 cylinder engines and 2000/3000/4000 tractors were 3 cylinder engines and if you look at the pump there is only three injector pipes coming away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 In a word Ricky, yes. There will be hundreds (or perhaps 100) eagerly awaiting an answer to this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Well she won't start anyway with the 3 cyl injector pump :D Some small things - I'd agree with Nigel the decals are not postioned exactly correctly - seat is completetly wrong and I'm not sure on the ploughing lamp - crease in the bonnet is too severe and yes Powerrabbit the grilles were made from preforated steel in reality - that hitch just looks wrong - by the way Ricky what holds the linkage up and down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 im just wondering what sean or deerpower is going to do with one after the loader going on the MF135 will there be anothe 5000 with cab as the 135 had cabbed and un-cabbed versions cheers nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratholderen Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 : I think the seat is correct for a X model, the plowing lamp were mounted at the right fender. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james f Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I think they got the nose cone wrong, it looks too 'domed' at the top, and yeah there's only three injector pipes!! Don't see much wrong with the linkage though except the arms are lying in a bit, and there's screws everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
