MJB1 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 managed to get another ROS 600series style cab & made a decision to build a 698T & not a 675 , but this time unlike the 690 & more like the 699 i decided to fit a siku front axle. a britains 595 chassis is the base as all 698T i've encountered have been short wheel base units to get the height right with the front axle i had to cut into the chassis else the front would be to high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 in keeping the pivot pins on the axle & drilling a hole in the chassis, the tractor has has a small amount of lateral movement view from the underside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 floorpan & cab fitted loose rear wheels are ROS & fronts on the siku axle are from a 2680 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 respray time the rear wheels being sprayed here are also from a 2680 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 for the fixing of the floorpan, the peice of metal that holds the britains drivers seat, has been removed & filed down & peice of plastic (electrical conduit covering) is glued into the floorpan,hole drilled & a screw to hold firm. another plastic strip is cut & a seat glued into place then placed loose ontop of the previous peice & covers the fixing screw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 so far so good, the bonnet is quite rough , so a bit undecided wether to get another or to get this one made good , & yes that is a front grill from a britains landini exhaust pipe , a cotton bud bent to shape & painted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 right then , pic1 britains rears , effectively 38in rims or pic 2 ROS rears ,effectively 34in rims not much choice in the fronts as the ROS fronts are the same diameter as the britains, although the ROS looks a lower profile tyre & the britains are a touch wider , however the fronts are there to stay , but which rears to use , bearing in mind , 38" rims were widely fitted to the 698 but not on the 698T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 when i've decided on what to do with the bonnet , decals will be added . a weight frame will be added & glazing to be done , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 thanks joe , & yes yer right about the rears the britains look good but the ROS look right , although the front axle was set to take the ROS as she sits level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
