Tractorman810 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 been tinkering with this base tractor for a while now,took a while for me to get the arches to fit snuggly to the uh chassis, but while waiting for some parts for other stuff i resurrected it had a thought ,and came up with this, taken a good few hours trying to get all the geometry right for The hydraulic tip mech, but i think i am as near as now to be honest, just needs paint and maybe a new fork, not really happy with this one at the min, hence why the pins are not cut yet based on a uh 35x chassis, she will be getting new rears ,probally scaledown ,so i have dish hubs ,the 9 hole bar is a spare scaledown part from a build jdc he did for me a while back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH885XLMAN Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 looks brilliant mate :oif you could manufacture that loader to fit under old britains MF 135s(there the mule dozer goes) it would still be a winner heck ild definatly buy one or two The only problem i have with her on the UH 35 chasiss is that she is too much to the left but im guessing you already know thats down to the tool box on the UH MF 35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeRoebuck Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Nice work!! Hows the black plasticard to work with? Is it easy to see curvatures and shape? I've seen it on eBay lately and never used it as i'm still on my white stock pilfered from uni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordson major Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I like the tractor and loader your 1/16 is brilliant but this in 1/32 will be a master piece due to the small scale . Just one question when you paint the red will you be removing the loader lug from inside the right mud guard as I think it spoils the look of the tractor.
