N. van Eekelen Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hello, First of all I want to introduce me, because I was already member, but I have posted nothing. My name is Niels van Eekelen, I'm from the Netherlands, and because I know two people over here(Johny MF, and Ziko) I thought: mabey, I can show the building of my MF 8280 to the FarmtoysForum. Here are some pictures from the buildingreport: This is my own build fronthitch, and it's attached with Pritt Posterbuddies, for a overview. And here is the PMA32 hitch, which comes on the end of the tractor as you can see. Mabey a unsharp photo, but this is how many I had to remove, to place the hitch in his good position! With the detailed cabine, and the fronthitch. Further plans: The mirrors are gonna be changed, like the original machine, just like the lights. I wanna put Claas Axion wheels under it, and the details that are on the real 8280, are coming on my modeltractor!

Lord Ferguson Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 :o - Flipping hec Niels... what a beauty mate... many thanks for posting... That looks first class with those linkages front and rear... the rear looks absolutly spot on.... I always think they look a little 'over engineered in real life... and that captures the image exactly in fine detail.. As for the front hitch.... WOW... stunning... espcially with the PTO as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N. van Eekelen Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 Thanks for the great comments! I will update this topic mabey this weekend, because I planned to do the mirror-work tomorrow. And that PTO: It's very easy to make, (here they call it a: Kabelschoentje) Its like a piece of brass, what is between a cable on a electric machine. Here you have a picture from it: @Johny: I added you on MSN, so I can talk easier with you! Greets from Holland, Niels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N. van Eekelen Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 Finally I had some time, to go further with the 8280. I've filled the old holes from the mirrors with Tamiya Epoxy Putty, and I've made the mirrors as they need to look like. Talked enough, here are the pictures: (Don't look at the posterbuddie, I will drill next week holes, so the Posterbuddie can be removed) Front: Greets, Niels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenside MF Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Looks much better than the standard model already,the wing mirors and rails are spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N. van Eekelen Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 It taked a long time, because I didn't work on it in my vacation, and because I am busy with school. Right; an update!: Chassis in the right paint: The other parts(Mudguards, bonnet, frontaxle, and rims) are waiting for a color, I want to paint them this week. The cabin and the interior must have also a color, that also happens this or next week. (Sorry for the bad picture, tomorrow I'm gonna make some better ones) Greets from Holland, Niels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
