Claas, combine harvester.(PINK HAS ARRIVED!)


Recommended Posts

Heres my little bargin i got from the carboot sales today :D going to do it up :) Got it for 30p (the seller kept calling me 'Sir' i was wearing my 'Crazy Kev!' Hoody, trackies, and boots :D  so im guessing he thought i was a boy :-\

Its missing the front part ( dunno what it is called :-\ ;D ;D) and the steering wheel,  & the tires are very loose.

Front view, before i had done anything to it,

hmmmm... obviously need to get them bigger, though the first attempt was over 1.4MB each.

As you can see fairly straight-forward repaint in the more appropriate Matador green,but with better tyres (though I've got some even better ones now!!) I cut the knife back on the bigger one and moved it back and just ground the reel ends hexagonal from their ("carpet-drive") round, sometimes you have do an easy one between major tractor development, though as I say this was about 25 years ago.

PS.. why don't they enlarge when I click on them, and some other pics I see have no size titles to them to give me an idea what I should be doing... :-\ ;):D
