matty a

at 4:30 today i had a jd 6410 and a jd 5820 sitting next to each other and by 7:00 they had become 1 i started by removing the front wheels from both tractors and then removing the front axel from the 5820. i had to cut off the mudgards so that the wheels from the 6410 would fit that then left me with this because the holes in the centers of the wheels were to big to be a good fit on the axels i drilled them out a few mill and put in a bit of tube next i fitted the wheels onto the axels and made the mounting bracket, as you can see there isnt a masive amount of differance in track width all thats left to do now is to remove the front axel on the 6410 and put the new one on so thats what i did after doing that i looked down at the 5820 shortly followed by my watch then thought to my self tea wont be ready for a while yet so i started cutting gagain and then eventualy ended up with this tell me what u all think.

this is my ctm 500 series sugar beet cleaner loader that i have been working on for the last few days tell me what you think

finaly got round to doing some more on this model and she is now almost ready to paint so here are some pics

here are some pictures that i took last week of one of the local farms harvesting there spring barley in the village of little snoring near fakenham in norfolk the combine is a new holland tx68 and the tractors carting are a john deere 6920s and a john deere 6920 both have gull high tip trailers

here are some pics from a few weeks back when i went for a bike ride with my camera first off just finished harvesting some osr then on to baling winter barley and finaly harvesting winter barley

started this the other day but ran out of material so i couldnt do any mor to it untill today when i got some more this is not like the flat 8 bale sledge because this one holds 3 bales on the bottom and then another 3 on top like this === first of all here is the rather poor quality picture that i have been working from witch was taken about 8 years ago and here is what it looked like this morning followed by a few pics of how it works as you can see i still need to find some wheels for it and this is what it looked like by the end of the afternoon if any one has any info on how the gate at the back works or any pictures of it please let me know as i havent got a clue

trust me it wasnt the easyest build in the world and i got rather stuck at one point when i was trying to make the front crumblers because the ones on the sides i actualy had to make the frames and also the ends of them out of some scraps i had laying about but it worked and i am very pleased with the result

thanks for the comments and here is the link for people that missed it when i was making it http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=11118.0

i have finaly managed to get it all together and painted tell me what you think here are some pics the real thing my version

i got it sprayed this afternoon and i think it has turned out rather well tell me what you think if i get a chance i will get some more pics in the morning when the paint has fully dried

i havent done that much on it over the last few days apart from adding a grain chute on the back well its harder for me to get my hands on the stuff because you live closer than me so you just have to walk down the road o well you do come in handy for when i want to know when they have new stuff in ;D
