catkom3 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Well I got this in August,just did a wee bit at a time,I don't have a work bench,so I need to use a bit of the kitchen worktop,then stick all the bits back in box's so I can make my tea ,right this is a tricky model to build,the instructions are minimal to say the least I'll put up the instruction at the bottom,my kit comprised 52 parts,but to get the extra detail I got I had to make another 42 parts,in the photo in the kit there are front mudguards,mine had none,I put wee yellow/red X's on the pictures to indicate the parts I made,enough gibberish,here are the photo's Any questions,just ask,or PM me Regards Joe PS see if you can spot any flaws,there are a few 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye the instructions are, ??? helpful I remember the first,and only one I saw Royal Highland show I think,the thing that struck me about it was the " bending glass ",there's a flexible seam in the side window's,I tried to show that on the model,don't think you can see it in these photo's,might try doing that tommorrow, Thank you, Joe. Where did that picture come from,I never put it there,but it does show the seam in the window,if it's still there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archbarch Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 great job of a lovely tractor. I used to drive one, loved every hour spent on it even the leaking roof hatch, there was a knack to using the clutch, because it was an oil turbine clutch ideally the clutch pedal should only be pressed on tickover otherwise it would wear very quikly. in my opinion it pulled as well if not better than a JD 4755 i drove.

catkom3 Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 Hi archbarch,just the man,what the heck is the big lever on the left hand side of the steering wheel,I'm guessing,seeing as it's on the left that it's a hand clutch !! would that be right, Regards Joe.

Hi Joe, yes it is the clutch for the pto, the lever to select the pto was behind the seat to the right, which was an awkward procedure, however the tractor made up for little niggles like that in many other ways. Just the sound of the engine was lovely and looking down the bonnet over that grill was a nice view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niels Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Can't get much worse than the two you just named can it? Looking at previous Schuco products they will be fine. Btw, these models have been announced for nearly two years already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 You have to ask who commisioned these models ,Was it CNH to damage ManuS's sales we all know what happened to Wagenhoff,was it a bit of the same ??? Regards Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
