Barry Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Next JD to do......a John Deere 7710 First off, parts to make her Plastic Ertl 7410 bonnet, Metal Ertl 6410 Cab & floor plan, Deutz TTV rear wheels, Deutz K100 Front axle The window frame on the cab arches out to much for me, so i cut it off and made my own I found this better to butt the bonnet up too Gave the interior a lick of paint to make it moe realistic Painted the wheels and stuck the bonnet and cab together, also cut off the front weights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Then, fill some holes in where the two join for the steps to go onto Made some steps with brass Then i thought i'd have a go at making a rear linkage first a piece of brass for all the bit to stick too Made all the parts from plastic and aluminium tube, plastic card and pins PTO shaft is a piece of small allen key! Offer it up to the rear end to see how it looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Only a few other additions to do, obviously some 7710 decals, maybe some warning decals here and there, i might try and put some glazing in, but very difficult without being able to take the cab off, i think the one my Dad had, had rear linkage buttons on the rear fenders so may put one on, a beacon so she can go on the road and a CB!!!

Brilliant mate, that's really impressive And nice use of your flexible friend Give me more details on how you made your lights, I really struggle with them, mine look like a car crash There are some things money can't buy, for eveything else there's Mastercard, Priceless!!!!! Well the spot lights are just cut off a UH Deutz TTV, the other bits are plastic and brass made to look something like the real thing then painted with orange for the indicator and silver for the headlights. Ive run out of TTV's to cut up and use the spot lights so will have to think of somthing else or buy more TTV's! Think you can get them from PMA now, might have to buy some stuff from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick a Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 It is the rear axle, transmission and hitch.... it looks like a cross. the 6930 /7530 saga the 7530 base weight is a heavier tractor than the 6930 for a start by a good margin and base tyre sizes are way different. as for looks thats a matter of opinion . the real tractors are much more than a mere decal change.
