Tractorman810 Posted January 14, 2006 Author Share Posted January 14, 2006 thats what i was thinking,the pic mj? posted or mark didn't,hence the wheels are too small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 i can't really comment as mine is done but it should have the standard rears on as it will be too big against the others, i think it hard to tell with that 3000 bonnet on as well well happy with mine . as the wheels i used i think do it justice enough ,it looks just like the one i used to drive ........................ungainly :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 14, 2006 Author Share Posted January 14, 2006 mm,i think i will wait till the 26 bonet arrives,and see,like you say the 3 bonet is bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 i personaly think the 3000 bonnet is deceiving as your trying to match bigger wheels to suit the size , does mine look that bad TM? , we would then have a matching pair , get the same number plates as well :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 14, 2006 Author Share Posted January 14, 2006 no yours looks fine ,i think the real problem is i have only seen one 2wd in real life,and he had put bigger fronts on it,for when he had the front press on,so may be clouding my judgement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Option number 3 for me TM ;) Come on then.... Top, Middle or Bottom?? Which show did that come from?? Michael Barrymore's strike it rich ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted January 14, 2006 Author Share Posted January 14, 2006 well the general consenses is no1 from what i can tell,so did this thisafternoon,not finished yet,but though i would post them up so you can see what it looks like,i pinched the bonnet temp of the 2725 and like mj said the 3000 bonnet was throwing me out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Bit late to comment now I know, looks like you got it sorted. Reading through page 1 I'd have mentioned the bonnet messing you up too, those latest phot's give it a whole new stance and good it is too. The JD front axle is the mutt's, not sure on the wheels fitted to it just yet though. As a whole it is looking good though, good of you to post your ideas and ask for some input TM.
