Likeing the sprayer John, got a nice aged finish on the hose's too 😉

no your not a muppet to consider doing that,it's what I do with my models now as being an adult collector I don't like the toy linkages 

I imagine Mr Udimore is a trembling wreck at the thought of these too 😅

Thanks lads,did use a britains 6195 m for the floorpan and cab so it's not all siku but did it this way as I don't like the panoramic door version how wiking did it

I agree, and wouldn’t mind trying a similar conversion if I could find a Siku 7530.  Does anything need cutting away to fit the front linkage ?  

fair bit off cutting and sanding for a nice fit 😉

Good job on the round and square bales Paul,I'll have a trailer load please 😄

Just to add all new scratchbuilt grab rails made for inside and outside of the cab as well,needs a numberplate too.

Got it finished off,just got to find some 30 series style wiking front weights blocks for it

That does look spot on with your added extras Phil.

Can I ask for the sizes of the diameter of the rims and tyres plus width please as they look like they could be perfect for my planned John Deere 6930 conversion?

looks spot on now Phil,worth the extra effort and cost although you shouldn't have to be doing that these days on new U.H models

Good model,I like that a lot

I know I do😂 I have 2 of them. Would leave one standard , but I wouldn’t have a clue how to do it

those Zuidbergs are designed for the wiking Jack,so maybe very little grinding down off the diecast chassis with a dremel,if any possibly

Looking good , that front linkage looks smart. I’d like one on my wiking 7530 but don’t want to risk damaging the model 😂

Go on, you know you wanna do it 😄

Please could one of the mods move the topic over to tractor conversions sometime,thankyou.

I started work on this one as I didn't want to pay silly money for a wiking 7530,,Made the front axle work and steer a bit better got the fronts wheels rolling smoother,then got the 3d printed zuidberg front linkage buit up and working nicely,lastly had a bit of a test fit with the newly painted floorpan and cab on.

Exhaust and rear linkage to be done next!

Good job Andy,the toy linkages are okay for the kiddies but not us older collectors

agreed the 6r looks very good
