Simple New Holland conversion.

[JC]

Heres a simple conversion for anyone wanting to try there hand, this is a New holland 8560 which I'm going to transfer onto another chassis which offers more realistic steering and and front fenders.

First job is to remove the parts needed from the New Holland donor model, the cab just unclips from the wings and lifts off. Next its time to remove the floor pan, this is easily removed  with the help of a screw driver, gently push the end of the screw driver in between the metal chassis and and the plastic floorpan and then slowly twist it until the floorpan "pops" off.

I'll give one a go sometime in the near future, any pictures and measurements for me anyone??
