Jez Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Good start mate. Nice to see you have the wheels off!!! Quote
andrewstanford Posted February 3, 2009 Author Posted February 3, 2009 yeh the bk ones were the hardest i couldnt figure out how to get them off so i brought it to school and my c.d.t teacher helped me ive got the bonnet cracks and holes filled in and sanded so now i need to paint it just wanting to know what do i need for the primer and paint also can you buy the right colour for a john deere in halfords Quote
andrewstanford Posted February 3, 2009 Author Posted February 3, 2009 thanks i just made a list of the rest of what i have to do and the hardest thing is adding the uh 818 vfront axle what is the best way to do this Quote
pistol pete Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 To add the front axle from the 818 you needed to make a bracket to hold it look in pdc topics for 6430 and it will show you what i mean Quote
Rhysmassey135 Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Looks nice Andrew wheels look right on her Quote
andrewstanford Posted February 4, 2009 Author Posted February 4, 2009 ye i thought the wheels looked just right i think the old wheels were too skiny and i did not like the tread pattern also i couldnt find the thing about the 818 axle Quote
pistol pete Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Andrew I will take a picture of one of my john deere conversions that I have converted. Quote
