B O R Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 its annoying that the 6475 comes on wrong colour wheels,loader brackets and no loader and a blank glass for the right door...id like to take another while at this tractor and see if i can remove the cab,fit a driver,add right side hand rails and door handle to finish it off......

Tractorman810 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 at a guess, it would be nail polish remover, carefully applied with a cotton wool bud, just rubs of then paul, trick is not to go to heavey so you also remove the red paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masseyjack590 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 i've just finished one these i put the floorpan and cab off 5480 on it because i couldn't get the cab off the 6475 on to the 5480 floorpan it looks good now yours looks good with the correct colour wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Gough Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Looks better now, i must say. Is it easy to take the loader brackets off as i want to attempt it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B O R Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 my 6480 decals came from henri walker.....the loader brackets were easy to remove yes..just screw out the 2 screws and then there is a small piece to cut that joins them to the inner step,a snip with a blade between the joint does it discreetly....i may actually fit a 5480 cab and floorpan as i have a spare here,itd be an easy way to go to get it looking perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
