MATTY 7530 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hi I'm going to convert an ertl precision John Deere 8400 into a 8410, but i don't know what wheels to put on it to make it look good. Also does anyone were i could get a proper JD 8000 series front linkage? Any advise or pictures you can show me. \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MATTY 7530 Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Thanks to Roy I bought a JD 8400 the other night and got stuck into it. I think I will use universal hobbies Class 936 front wheels and use the britains john deere 9530 Wheels for the rear. Only one problem does anyone know how to get the wheels of the john deere 9530 cause there well on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 a mate of mine used the 936 wheels on his the backs don't fit under the rear wings so he sanded the rubber down a bit till they fitted , looked smart when he had finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
