jp7810

cut out the diesel tank under the bonnet

nothing new on the imber front so i take it,that cattle crush is very tasty any idea how much he was asking for it

wouldnt have a 10 series workshop manual lying around by any chance

at last a proper answer,now i have it correct

i used to think that but we have a series 2 6610 and it has the x on the engine block and it is original,never touched

well id say if they dont do the ap cab nobody will

no end to what you can do,absolutley savage

taking quite a while been at it on and off,have the gates finished now and springs fitted to the back door so it springs closed just like the real one.just ordered a new powerwasher to keep it clean.thanks for all the comments

the best way of doing it in my opinion is use a ford 7810,lenghten the chasis at the front ahead of the engine block,7810 back wheels,mccormick115 front wheels,a britains 5610 bonnet lenghtened ,7810 cab,exhaust and precleaner and there you have it,thats how i done mine

any more on this ian,would love to see how it turns out

i have to say as easy as it looks to build it has been the most complicated in terms of building it and having the parts painted at the same time,gates at the back are proving difficult

well spotted

thanks for the comments guys,it was really bugging me with a long time and when they badged the new model as a 7430 i had to have a go at sorting it.went through heaps of photos and there is a huge difference between the two

a few updates!

will post some pics of the lastest scratchbuild in a little while

cheers for all the comments,its made out of plastistruct,was inspired by jdc so had to have a go.

liking that alot,nice job as usual

even has diesel tank done at the back,savage conversion absolute credit to you

its the wiking jd with deutz ttv wheels,ive used a siku 6920 bonnet withthe 6930 grills put in,had to drop the cab a couple of mm too as the bonnet is not as high.if you put the 2 bonnets together there is good bit of a difference but im happy enough with it

cheers mate,just shows that the wiking is a 7*30 not a 6930,theres quite a difference

a few pictures of 6930

that model looks savage with those wheels,you did a lovely job on it.just wondering if the wiper can be moved or replaced??

have one of them uh diamond 150 mccormicks ,wheels are not melted but the tyres went all white for some reason,its never been out of the box.thats the only thing ive seen so far
