B O R Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 this is my first opu cab convo,was hard to glaze as the cab pillars are so narrow,but then the sg2 is hard to glaze too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B O R Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 the reason theres a hole left in middle of bonnet is that some turbo versions of this tractor had a tall air breather i noticed and normally aspirated models have that hole blanked,i havent decided which model to settle for yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eurodeere Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Looking good. A medium/tall air cleaner was available from the factory and no turbo fitted. I guess some owners fitted Opico turbos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972farming Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Very nice model,well done. I have just started to dismantle an ertl 3350 and can't decide what to make it into. I have never worked on an ertl john deere before ,are there many pitfalls to look out for ? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B O R Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 lots.i split them down the centre and file and shape them as necessary,takes me just more than a day leaving one right.adding the handrail if its a 50 and the step and removing that awful front weight and filliong and sanding it out to a weightframe,no short cuts unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B O R Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 ive seen a 88 3140 with most of the cab green but most are black like the 50 series,was the colour changed during the 40 series lifespan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistol pete Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 the early 40 series had the bottom half of the cab green on the sg2 cab mate don't know when it changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I think the cab bottom changed from green to black when the central four wheel drive propshaft and castor angle steering were introduced on the Mannhiem built tractors. That was late '82 or early '83??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziko Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I thought the green disappeared with the introduction of the 3640 model, so that would have been 84. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Thinking about it I knew a Y reg 2140 with green cab, delivered early 1983 and an A reg (August 1983) black cab. You tell me when the cab colour changed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B O R Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 i might do a green cab then to see what itll be like in model form,ive 3 half built deeres on the go at min.heres a 3650 with later series weight i seen at the Ferguson day recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
