Default MF 1155

Hi there!

Here´s one of my tractors. It´ a 1/16 die cast model made by ERTL...



The front end was cut off and I made a new front axle...


2 geared motors found their space in a milled aluminum housing...


The front weights are made of steel...


...comments welcome...

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.

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...


Bolts will follow...
