Awesome work Frank! I've never been a Massey guy but that's really nice. It was the 1155 that pushed IH to build the 1468 and 1568.

Your brass work is very nice.

Hi Craig!
The rear end is completely built from scratch, but the dimensions are very close to the Blocher parts.
Here are some pictures of the housing:

Nicely done!

I'm currently trying to convert a MF690 as my first conversion. Learning lots!

Always liked MF tractors, my father had a 255, and my uncle a 265 and 285.

Frank, thanks for sharing this build. I know it's been completed for a while, but I just checked your thread out now. Your conversion turned out very nice. I like the extra details you added. Injector lines, glass in the cab, lights, 3 point hitch, and with all the metal work you did to make it an RC model, painted and finished, it looks very sharp. At first glance one couldn't guess that it is a converted, fully functional model. I like it. Great idea with the larger hub bearings on the ends of the gear motors, by the way!
