My mistake , sorry Paul  ,,,,,,,,,, 

yes the New Holland

no problem

Here you go Mark

And one more thing to do, paint black around the ih emblem on the front grill,sorry Justin nicked your photo

Yes they all look in real good shape Justin

Im getting Henri to bring the international lettering closer to the cab but keep the numbers where they are so it will be a bigger gap between the letters and numbers

Good job on the front grill and lights Paul.. 

thanks Justin, could be better, and again thanks for the recommendation for what exhaust to use, it looks good, going to try and add a rain cap to it👍👍 

😂yes we have John, thanks again, you have been a massive help👍👍

here she is back together, have to add the rear top link mount and rear top link, spray wheels and bonnet decals to come from Henri Walker

Well after some chats with John [844john] the replicagri 845 is not remotely close to a 885, but, sorry John 🤦‍♂️ i still went ahead to get it as close as my skills would let me, its to long but im not going to cut and shut it, so i have altered the front grill, not my finest work i may add, put gear sticks and handbrake on the correct side, removed the pto clutch as that was wrong.Also i have painted the cab roof grills, painted the fuel tank black, and added a driver. I have  made the front weights removable,changed the exhaust, thanks to Justin for the adivce there, i need to spray the rear wheels and add a numberplate, i know it is not a correct 885XL but it will do, it could have been a 856XL but i never seen one down this way where i did see a couple of 885’S, your advice was not wasted John and thanks to Justin as well, picking up the paint for the wheels when it comes in this week
