could always do a 3pt hitch mounted destoner... they work well, an save loads of time on headland turning

Does anyone on here handy with a milling machine, I need to re-create two lift arms out of ally from the 1:16 JD tractor i have. Nearly finished on the rest of the r/c tractor but am yet to get the hitch finished without spending a good grand on machines to do it. Any help is greatfully recieved

Loving the head on that malc, could do with one of those for my r/c lexion, know my servos will lift it easily enough

never had the ertl r/c but have had dealings with the siku ones, think the siku one's are great for all ages, bit limited to applications but in general there not bad. not heard too many great points on the ertl versions but its all personal choice.

thanks peeps, sourcing square isnt a problem, im told the size is though. 10mm isnt too standered or sought after so not many places hold it in stock. but i'll message some more places an see what I can find.

still struggleing to find this brass... smiths can supply 3ft for 25 quid but seeing as i only need 6 inchs seems a lot for waste.... ah well...keep trying...

Cheers for that i'll give em a buzz. Dont suppose you know of anyone on here whos handy with a milling machine. need a couple of 1:16 lift arms reproducing from the plastic versions I have with a couple of small modifications.

Hey folks, Just started working with brass, and am struggleing to find suppliers of 10mm and up solid square section. I use this and machine it down to what I need but cant find it anywhere local. Model shops hold most other types of section but solid isnt somthing they can get hold of for some reason (?) Where would you suggest I try. only needing lengths of 300mm idealy Dan

Brought my Dremal about two years ago and never regretted it since. parts are a little exspensive but worth the cost.definatly wouldnt be without mine.

yeah totally agree, everything seems to be cerial based, from combines to seed drills, if you can remember the site for that chap or if anyone else knows of it id appreciate it.

I'd love to get arund to building some replica machines of ones I used to work with. All 3 row machines on fendts, widend out bit time. after this post I think i'll start giving it some serious thought, shame that the market don't account much for potato equipment or much other equipment.

Thats some really neat work there. nice detail. Is it for 2 or 3 row forming?

Thanks for the help, Im in need of a working top link if thats what you can make, the 3point lift arms will be started shortly but am struggleing to find a top link in 1/16. the weights would need to be made out of somthing heavy, maybe mild steel 1/4" thick im thinking

Hi all, My latest projects coming alond nicely thanks to hints and tips from Kolpen. But I find myself stuck on some rear wheel weight discs. The front end of my 1/16 model is fine for weight but the back is coming up too light. Does anyone here have the tools to make some metal discs of a custom diameter or should I try looki g in the Yellow pages for machinests? thanks all Dan

Where abouts can you get them for half that? All the ones i've seen advertised have been the best part of £100.00 an that goes for all the siku sets regarding the infared.
