PDC Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Nice work Pete the UH Celtis wheels suit her well :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistol pete Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 ye tried a few sets of wheels but they were either to big or to small. but as you say these look right just have to build a 3350 and a 2 whd 3050 to go with here now. the ertle chasis are getting expensive to buy seen a chsia with no cab go for 21 on e bay.

pistol pete Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 Very nice indeed, like others have said the wheels look spot on for it Now get the chassis cast and you could make a mint from that i wouldn't mind getting the chasia cast as it would work for any of the 40 or 50 series 4 cylinders sg2 cabbed tractors. What did you use as a base? The Ertl 3140? ye used a ertl 3350/3140 chasia cut down then joined again to make it the lenght of a 4cylinder pete just trying to make out where you cut it to shortern it nathan will get apic of where it is joined for you tonight Just brilliant Pete,well done mate cheers mate Stunning work Pete, that is one very nice Deere you've made yourself there, looks spot on with the Celtis wheels.
