Simon Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 What are those wheels on the back Mike, they ain't 'alf odd?!

MJB1 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 doesn't look bad at all mike , but maybe the regular britain wheels not the MB Trac ones would be better ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I can see what you are trying to do with the rear wheels, you want an outward dish for a narrow track width for round the buildings. It may be a bit too much but it isn't a bad thought by anymeans. I can't think of another one to use unless you could trip the 2640 rims down, could be a bit of work to do that and get them circular though. Looks nice all in all.

Tractorman810 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 thanks tris thats the effect i was trying to get but others have missed my idea, i know it dosnt look ideal but was a quick fix idea i though of some of the wider britains tyres will fit onto those mb trac hubs mate, them with a small strip of plastic arround to cover the rubber will work a treat for the reverse hubs, what loader will you fit?? uh or britains/ siku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
