Nice to see pictures of Lincolnshire online, we farm just around the corner from that dealership. It just so happens that we have just bought a tractor from Crawfords, the new McCormick CX 105, we traded in the Case 4240 you have pictured above, its nice to see the old girl again.

Here is a couple of the NH Quadtracs I found on the net a while back.

This is the CAD design that I have based my model on, hopefully they will end up looking something like this when they are finished.

If there is interest in them I can just reproduce some more. I think that I will be able to attach them to the following sizes of tractors, the Siku MF 8200 series, and Fendt 936, Britians JD 7920, UH McCormick ZTX, Class Atles and Renault Atles. I will have to work out if they will fit any other tractors. If anyone has any questions just PM me. With regards to the price I will have to see what the first one makes on ebay, and I will estimate a price from that.

The tracks on the tractor are from the JD precsion crawler, I have cast my own set which I will put on it.

I'll hopefully have the track system on the McCormick up for sale on ebay by the end of next week. If anyone is interested in buying it PM me with an offer.

Just a tempter for Q, if just a quick mod to JD 7920 I had hanging around.

I'm looking forward to putting a set on the new JD Precsion when it arrives.

Just waiting for the tracks to come out of the cast but here is a sneak preview.

I have cast a set of half tracks and I am in the process of painting them so I will soon have them up on the forum on a McCormick ZTX, I have also nearly complete my model of the Vaderstad 600 drill.

I will be selling the Britians drill in my first picture on ebay, in the next few weeks , does anyone know what price I should start it at, it is unboxed. Also if anyone is interested in buying it PM me with an offer.

Unfourtunately it is going to be a Vaderstad 600, I am in the process of casting the parts to make it, I have had a lack of time recently, but I hopefully will have it finished in the next couple of months.

All of the conversions are my own, I have had a little time over the last few days to get them finished. The wheels on the JD, the back are from the ertl battery powered JD and the front are from the battery powered case the same as on the back of my combine. I'll put some photos up of my vaderstad drill and JD Crop Sprayer which I mentioned at splading as soon as they are finished.

I might have to sell mine on ebay, as I don't really use it.

A few other models from my collection. Does any one have any idea how much these Britains drills are worth?, I saw one go for quite a bit on ebay.

The delivery was 17 euros it is a standard rate, but they sell all the UH front linkage and other intersting parts from siku models, if you have a wonder around the site you soon fill a basket. I ended up nearly spending 100 euros on wheels alone. If you get some round bar from B & Q and then use some plastic/metal glue to bond them together, the front wheels are a problem I haven't solved yet. I saw though at splading, sparrow legs had some fitted to the dave twose 8430 wheeled tractor.

surely the main quest is realism, and not the thought of theortical improvement

The best wheels for the JD 7920 are the wheels from the UH Renault/Class Atles. It is a bit expensive to cut down the model, but a french website sells then for 10 euros. Its best to put together a big order as the delivery is pretty pricey, but they do sell loads of other bits which are good for converting. http://www.mini-toys.net/index.php
