First problem is going to be getting the cab off with out making any damage, the cab is not screwed on like uh models, it still has tabs coming through above the rear wheels but the tabs are glued on, might be able to cut the tabs off

Next up is this ih 845XL, after a chat with 844 john if i turn this into an 885XL it will not be correct, i knew the front grill was wrong as well as the rear wheels and the wheelbase is wrong, the 845XL is a bigger tractor than the 855,but Johns vast knowledge has raised some other points i never new about, so i either keep it as it is allthough the rear wheels would still need to changed imo for a 845,or i carry on with an inaccurate 885XL. I have bought an atlas ford 5000 for its rear wheels that are right for a 885 and an exhaust that is right for a 885, luckily i got the atlas ford 5000 for only £14 so no hardship if i dont use it or i will re sell it, still undecided what to do🤦‍♂️

It arrived today

i will be doing it Justin and im getting fed up with modern kit, you need a lot of room to display it,so its another model to do👍

Thanks Simon yes i ordered the above, with me today hopefully👍

Yes i certainly didnt know but will still go ahead, i knew the front grill is different and where the ih badge is needs painting black, different rear wheels,which i have, different exhaust and i need new bonnet decals, the difference in wheelbase is 22 cm so in 1/32 is 0.6/0.7mm

I will pm you later if thats ok

Your not interfering John glad you pointed the facts out i am tempted to still go ahead though, usually i like things right but this one wont be accurate

Was your 845 an import

Do i keep it as a 845 John?

And also that the front grill is different

Was aware of the wheelbase difference John but not the other stuff🤦‍♂️

The bale that came with the McHale baler was unrealistic and to me a bit on the small size so i did this

My next project, a replicagri ih 845XL which will become a 885XL

Great pictures John

Atlas ford 5000 for its rear wheels, thanks to Justin on here for the advice on the 5000

Gone on ebay so no longer for sale on here

Well its going on ebay tomorrow, it will sell on there, but i usually put them up on here first incase any forum members are interested Pete

It is Pete, weather anybody is interested in buying it is something else but it is a fare price i think

Here are some pictures, is going on ebay tomorrow if no interest on here

4 pto shafts and a britains renault 145 repo exhaust for another project,all from Dave Towse

Anybody interested before it goes on ebay,uh amazone ux 5201 crop sprayer, very detailed only been on display,dealer boxed and mint condition, pictures of it will be put up tomorrow £49.99 postage included uk postage only

I have one of these somewhere but the seat is missing, would anybody know what seat is used, is it from one of britains tractors?

I have removed the rear work light, it looked awful

The 1490 will of course have a numberplate added so looking at the rear of the tractor the left rear work light will be took off and replaced with a numberplate
