MB Trac Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I have had wheels cast, as soon as they are back from the casters i will post pics. I have attached a drawing of a wheel im working on at the moment, approximately the 30mm diameter. The wheels i have had cast, are duels for a low loader, and two flotation wheels, one similar to that used on an Abbey tandem axle tanker, the other similar to that used on the Siku Krone mower but the centre is very detailed.

Simon Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I like! Are these going to be for sale..? [if so then posted in the wrong topic ] There is a bit of a shortage of decent wheels available on their own to my mind. Be good to have a section in the classifieds where they're all listed together so people can choose from everything that's available...

Fenside MF Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Looking and sounding very good MB trac. Would you ever consider copying the uh vanto wheels? as I think they would be very popular with conversionists and scratchbuilders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewstanford Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 i like those wheels yes the vanto wheels would be good also the wheels of the vaderstadt seeder would be usefull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I will look at them. I want to make what people want so all suggestions are welcome . Im working on row crops at the moment also to convert UH tractors You'll have to set up a little shop within the classifieds, I can see it being very popular indeed, I'll definitely be shopping with you in the future, quite fancy some rowcrops and will need a few trailer wheels. Have you thought about doing some of the UH Kuhn mower wheels [probably feature on other things too...], they're the archetypal ag implement wheel and would be sure to find a multitude of uses, I need a few for some trailers....

toyboy Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 are these wheels solid cast ones MB TRAC or have they a solid cast centre and a rubber tyre, might be interested in the lowloader ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miker Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 i will certainly buy wheels from you, sometimes you have to buy a new tractor just for the wheels, and then that becomes expensive if you have no further need for the rest of the tractor. :(hope this works out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGEL FORD Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 this got me thinking.... and after a count-up.. we have 100 + different wheels in the SCALEdown range, from the metal bogie wheel on the back of the trailed Ransomes plough to the SEAHORSE tyre and the FORD 7000/MUIR-HILL styles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massey/Leyland PAVT wheels, Massey 1200/International 784 14x34s, David Brown 34s and 38s, Ford/Leyland 30s, New Holland square dish 34s and 38s, lowloader wheels, twin 900s, twin 1000s, super singles, the possibilities are endless.

If you do sell them individually, do you have a price / stock list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
