Crazy Kev! Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Heres my little bargin i got from the carboot sales today 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 so im guessing he thought i was a boy \ Its missing the front part ( dunno what it is called \ ;D) and the steering wheel, & the tires are very loose. Front view, before i had done anything to it, Side view before i had done anything to it, other side before i had done anything to it, side, after i had scratched most of the old paint off, and the other side... ] and the front bit I will add more pictures, as progress continues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Kev! Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 no necessarily, maybe purple, or a bright Green, or maybe orange , SO many choices i mean anything but the standard green would make a pretty extrodinary combine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGEL FORD Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 thought these were somewhere I could lay my hands on for a change... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGEL FORD Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 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... \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
