new ford 4wd conversion
nathan replied to nathan's topic in Latest Tractor Conversions & Scratch Builds
i think the only way to do that one would be to turn the axle upside down. looks like a little gem that one mate -
new ford 4wd conversion
nathan replied to nathan's topic in Latest Tractor Conversions & Scratch Builds
with a bit of work on the front axle it would work. i did try it first and the front was in the air a bit. i've got a load of jd bits to use somewhere mate -
thought i would show you this. its the bits from the jd4020 afwd . i'm not in a hurry to do it but it might give you guys a look on how it will look. bits used are jd axle,rear mud guards,seat rear wheels(ford ones are to small) if anyone wants the bits to do it give us a pm.

started this a few months ago . 1. cut the bonnet just after the grills on the side. 1b. cut out front axle. (forgot that bit) 2.using thoses bits of plastic that has the holes in that come from the bottom of the tractor boxes.glue four bits to the bonnet bit that you cut off. when dry glue the bonnet section to the back half leaving a gap of 15mm. 3.when dry, mix up some car bodyfiller and fill in the gap, when doing under side where the hole for the front axle is put a big lump of filler to put the new axle on. drill the rivet on bonnet back a bit then fill with filler. 4. sand down the bonnet to the right shape,get a sharp hobbie knife and cut and shape of the decal line and the lower bonnet too. 5. when happy start with the new axle. i'm using a mtx one. sand down the lump of filler till flat.make sure you put the rear wheels on the tractor. then rest tractor on front axle and keep sanding till it sits how you want it. drll hole in axle so you can screw it to the underside by drilling threw the lump of filler and fixing the axle to the tractor. take the steering rack off and turn it upside down. 6. drill threw front linkage and screw to front of tractor 7.paint and add exhaust,light pods, beacon, decal 8. jobs a good un.

looks good but i think you might have problems with the rear arches like fw said try the mtx wheels as they are a bit smaller. keep with it mate

A quick "how to" JCB fastrac hitch
nathan replied to JC's question in Custom Model Methods/Tips/Help
getting the glue off my fingers : -
from a coversion point of view its a good base to start. as a model to put on a shelf its ok . but i tink its a step back.i've heard the reason for it not moving is down to detail , but i think thats wrong. they had the front axle of the jd that they could of used .so they wasted money there.
