SPN Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 That was based on the narrow front (trike) JD from ERTL. It was also known as the "Sound Idea" JD. They are easy enough to find on eBay (most of the time) and I'd suggest not paying more than $10-$15 for one. Here's a very expensive one on eBay at the moment: [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/1973-JOHN-DEERE-4430-NF-SOUND-GARD-1-32nd-SCALE-MIB_W0QQitemZ180238386632QQihZ008QQcategoryZ2497QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem]1973 JOHN DEERE "4430 NF" SOUND-GARD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 got that chassis in the shed awating work, need to order a cab of henri after new year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistol pete Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 you can buy the frame and the cab as a kit from henry for about 35 euros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 one thing thats weird with this chassis is the bonnet seems so much thinner than the other ertl one, infact to thin, doesnt really seem any longer either, is the resin chassis from henri any different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
margerisons Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 i thought his bonnet was only for 4755 or 4955 \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 not sure mate, mine was going to be a 4240s when i get round to it, but somehow the bonnet doesnt seem big enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPR Models Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 not sure mate, mine was going to be a 4240s when i get round to it, but somehow the bonnet doesnt seem big enough The bonnet is for the 4755/4955 but the kit with the cab is for the 4240 4455 4450 etc I can take some pics so you will see the difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 would the origonal bonnet be right for a 4240s?? then, seems very thin to be honest, certainly thinner than the 3140 chassis??? or will i need to widen it out somehow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
margerisons
I'm wanting to get a JD 4250/4255 made but I don't know what to use for the bonnet or floorplan
\
I've talked to Henri Walker and he has Cab and rear mudguards that will do the job
but his resin bonnet is designed for a 4755 or a 4955 are those two big and if so then what would do for a bonnet then?
Also what's a good chassis to base this on?
