Eurodeere Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Well done, tidy looking tractor. I see at some point in it's life the original cast wheel centres have been replaced. I guess a previous owner had enough of the rim bolts loosening and the wheel's falling off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistol pete Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 ye euro deere we put new centre's on her as we came across a cheap pair at our local dealers and thought that it smartened up the tractor. it is hard to find the correct centers with the the correct thickness of tyres and had these lying around.

Eurodeere Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I look forward to the 2850, but don't forget it's lower and shorter than the 3140/3350 with 34 inch wheels, not 38 inch one's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistol pete Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 ye i measured up one of the 2850 at home. will be shorter because the 28 is only a 4 cylinder. put about 1000 hours on the new one i drove in 92 before i joined the army. still like driving them too took my mats for a spin to drop of some earth at christmas was thinking of the wheels from a cvx 105 wheels for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
