carsntrucks4you Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 Heller's Ferguson tractor is now available
stitchdup Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 Cool, I've been waiting for this so I can build my version of the ardbeg tractor.
disabled modeler Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 I have a badly warped original of this tractor....been wanting a couple for some time now...I dig tractor kits.
Bennyg Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 I have a badly warped original of this tractor....been wanting a couple for some time now...I dig tractor kits.This one is apparently a whole new mould.
Longbox55 Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 Cool. I need to get a few of these, partly because I'm a tractor nut, but also because I want to convert one into an N series Ford. That'll take some work to do, but the basics are there already.

Longbox55 Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 The brake and clutch pedals are different, the 8N has foot rest platforms under the pedals, grille, Ford script on the hood sides, Ford script on insides of rear fenders depending on year, Radiator cap and filler coming through the hood, battery/fuel tank access door on hood.Fortunately, there's lots of good research material out there for the N tractors. In my case, I also have a 1:1 '48 8N sitting 1/2 apart in my garage.

He had them both split in half for a short time.
BigTallDad Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) Cool! Where can I order one (please note my last name)? Edited October 14, 2016 by BigTallDad
Rob Hall Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) Looking forward to this one...I ordered mine along w/ the Talbot Lago race car from Heller's site a few days ago. I've ordered from them direct before w/ no problems (got the Citroen HY van and Mehari last year). Edited October 15, 2016 by Rob Hall

Edited October 16, 2016 by BigTallDad
BigTallDad Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 IIRC it was within 2-3 weeks. Thanks...I was getting ready to order from their website when I noticed the shipping costs were more than the cost of the model!I'll wait...there's no compelling need to get this ASAP
oldcarfan Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 Living where I do, you still see the Fords in the rural areas. My father in law has a couple of them, both with flatheads converted to run on propane, one that his other daughter managed to blow just after a rebuild.
oldcarfan Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 It would be cool to take one of these and add a blown V8 Flathead with all the go-fast goodies to it. I saw one like that a few years ago at a hot rod show. It was fast!
Longbox55 Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Funk V8 http://www.oldfordtractors.com/funk.htm
Longbox55 Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Another conversion, the Elenco 4x4. I have also seen a conversion for the US spec version of the Ferguson (post merger with Massey-Harris as the tractor was in Massey colors) that is similar, but used a Jeep axle instead of M-37 Power Wagon.
