Mattias71 Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 \ I would love to have a go at something... I started an easy 590 with new wheels and a red/silver cab but it stillnot finished.... Well, its about time to finish her mate, and by the way, wheres the pics ??? tidy work man Cheers Murray I don't know. what i want to do is get the things to make a 4255 as i have been trying to get a bonnet but have not been successful yet. so i want to know were to get a bonnet and a trike and would like to know would a john Deere 8440 do the same job as a trike. \ Well, maybe you can use the 8440, bu its a lot of job to change the cab and all that. The Ertl "trike" was a 42/4440, very cheap and poor toy from the late 70's on 3 plastic wheels. Its hard to find nowadays, but you can find it on Ebay. i think the easiest way to get a 4255 is to follow Peters advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Taking a nice shape buddy. Will it have wafer wieghts on her or a linkage? Also, will you use a Britains/Siku linkage on the rear or a PMA style one? The 590 is still in pieces but painted. Cab needs rubbing down and starting again though.

It will have weights on the front. If you take a proper look, you can see that there is a Siku hitch on her... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattias71 Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 looking good Mattias like the steps and also How did you make the back mudguards wider? Thanks Matty The rear mudguards are legthened with some pices from the rear mudguards from a JD 8630 and som brass sheet. What a fantastic job you're doing Mattias. Getting that exhaust the right shape must be a difficult task. Cheers mate! That was quite easy. Just to heat up the brass tube and then bend it to the right shape It becomes very soft after you have heat it up and then cool it down. Its allmost ready now. Made the paintwork and some more details this evening. Perhaps I can post up some pics tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
