NIGEL FORD Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 yes and no mention of it being the "Force" style. Still it should be more correct to the first one as that sported a lot of Force features that it shouldn't have, and I can see some of them retained here.

rabh7840 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 if it had the square wings it would be from 1971 roughly but its round i think they were 1968-71 i like it anyway no matter what spec, ertl did an american spec 5-6 years back did they not? it wasnt as nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 How long until we see a cabbed version of the 5000 coming - surely some of the conversionists would do a Lambourne Mark 3 cab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH885XLMAN Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 cheers mate would be nice to see cabbed versions and in 1/32 i wonder if they will carry the ford 6Y up to the 6600 bubble cab in 1/16 now that would be lovely :P :P :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britainswomble Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I really like the Ford force version of this tractor. That is exactly as I remember them coming in at Sussex Tractors. Some were ordered like that to have lift off Alexander Duncan cabs fitted. Duncan cabs with the sloping backs were as I remember, were only fitted to round wing tractors. It would be great to see what one of our clever converters could do in the way of making up an early two door Duncan cab for this gorgeous tractor. Maybe they could even mass produce then as an after market accessory. Wacha fink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 The false US version of the 5000 was discussed on the forum under UH releases. Britainswomble: What years would the round wing tractors for Duncan cab fitment have been? If it was during the Fieco cab era what was the price difference? 1/16 Ducan cab, YES YES YES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGEL FORD Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 Round wing "Force" 000 series were from '68-'70 when Safety cab law came in, but whether Duncan still used the round wing to still fit their safety cab to new tractors I'm not sure?

I think they did Nigel unless you retrofitted a Duncan Supercab with its own mudguards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 the picture of the american version is in fact the 1:16 scale Ford 5000 from 1968. There will be an American version (3 versions in total!!!) too. what you have now are the released 1964-1967, the other picture is of the 1967 version and there is as of yet, no picture of the American version. I do have a catalog number ; 2797!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
