catkom3 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I've been building this for the last few weeks,inspired really by an article in ?? Classic tractors,I think,a guy had a Ford 8600 / 9600 with a Hiniker cab,which got me thinking,would a Britains John Deere 4020 Hiniker cab fit an Autodrome County 1454,and it does ,now all I have to do is put the County mudgaurds on the John Deere 4020,the tyres / wheels are PMA's,kinda suits the Bonnel grubber Any questions,just ask, Regards Joe.

them3kid Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 looks great. some set of tyres on her what did you use for the chasis/bonnet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stehos Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Chassis/bonnet is from the County 1454 kit by Autodrome from The Netherlands. This is a great tractor, the Hiniker looks like it was the official cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catkom3 Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 Thanks for the comment's guy's,that was a pleasure to build,a wee bit easier than the Manu S 1455 XL,at least the County came with instructions albeit in Dutch,but all the parts were numbered and they had English translation's as well,and that Britains Hiniker cab fitted straight onto the Autodrome chassis,exactly the same width all Ihad to do was make a new bridge for the windscreen and a bracket for the new headlights and side light's, Regards Joe.

The Tractor Twitcher Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 That looks the business Joe, amazing build and suits the Bonnel very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 Thanks David,the Bonnel was just a bit of luck really,I bought that to go on the back of my IH 1455XL,but because it's made of resin,it was to heavy for it,but the County is mostly white metal and nearly three times heavier ,if I can get the three point linkage to stay up, Regards Joe.

MJB1 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 thats turned out nice i must say ! although i'd want to be strapped to the seat when those tyres hit a bump, you'd spend the day slaming your hear against the roof ! \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
