Cool build! These are really cool tractors in the real life, the V8 Perkins really sounds sweet!

We had a 1135 on the farm for a while. That tractor was awesome. We had a cabless model with the 6cyl not the V8. Went through a lot of orbital valves and made a quick release system for the steering column. It burned so much oil we never bothered changing oil just filters. You could always find that tractor in the field, just look for the black smoke hanging in the air.

Nice conversion, can wait to see it finished.

Re: MF 1155
 

Very cool conversion. Thanks for sharing.:cool:

Re: MF 1155
 

...thanks for the compliments... :o

It will still take some time to finish this model. At the moment my motivation is not the biggest, but I will continue...

Re: MF 1155
 

I know the feeling.i have started a few models but cant get motivated.waiting for a converted bruder tractor to arive in the post.hope it will get me going again

Re: MF 1155
 

thats my brand awesome build ready to see it done

Re: MF 1155
 

Some progress for today...
A friend made two hubs for the rear end (Thanks Martin!!). The ball bearing on the bush of the output shaft allows higher radial forces and increases the service life...
