manitou telesopic loader

[graham]

been after a 1/32 manitou so thought i would have a go at making one , made a grain bucket , muck grab, and bale spike as well to fit it

[Massey Boy]

looks great well done like the bucket

[Murray]

looks good bigger wheels maybe 

[Tractorman810]

is that one of those cheapo body ones mate?? if so i thought the same thing when i saw them, but pondered a jd chassis/wheels for it, looks great doesnt it, and near on the right colour already

[JC]

Looks well Graham... what is the base model?

[graham]

yes sean and jason it is only a cheap chinese model i thought it would be near enough for me it looks ok size wise as murry says the wheels could be better , but out on the layout it will look ok

[Tractorman810]

thought it was, used to have a black knob out of the rear of the arm for something, some cheapo comopany called famermodels or simialr,

[Murray]

just get some wheels from somewhere will look then wheels of my mantitou might suit. doubt it though since its 1.25  :

[graham]

it had bits out the back like you say and you can see where the turning knob was on the mast , it was blue i sprayed it up , it just looked like a manitou to me it is not perfect by any means sean . not sure who makes it

[Tractorman810]

looks spot on to me, ones i saw were red palstic but otherwise the same about 3 quid each from memory

[stewartyg]

looks well - the musc grab makes it look the part!!

[jakescot]

hey , very tidy job, you say blue?...............how similar to a NH one would that be then ?? would that be what it was loosely based on you think?      anyway looks good enough and great tools for it too !!!

[nashmach]

Superb job there

The attachments really set it off for me - will they fit other handlers

  ithink jakescot that it is loosely based on the manitou , i would say more manitou than new holland ,the attachments nashmach only fit that model mate

[Coxy]

lookes very well

spectacular conversion mate been waiting to see a manitou conversion  maybe you could try a manitou mla centre pivot next ;)

[allis8550]

Very nice convo, makes a change from tractors and it certainly looks the part, well done.

  margerison a centre pivot been longing for someone to make one i have seen a couple but i prefer the pivot steer machines to drive and would be nice to have a model one many thanks allis

[sparrow legs]

i have one of these models, got a red one from kiwi (nick) pulled it apart and has sat in the draw since as stated good base model but lacks steering and good wheels, will have to dig it out and have a playaround with it

[luke p]

it looks great mate

[Deere-est]

I missed this one Graham, apologies mate. You've done a nice job with that. Very nice, maybe an old Joal JCB on 1/35th would be good for the wheels?
