MJB1 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 2 questions 72F why is it silver ? when doing the 2640 covo last night i took the axle from a economy 6600 & went to replace it with a 5610 front 4wd axle but the casting wouldn't go back together ? will the axle casting need fileing down a bit for the axle pin to fit ? as i've done this before years ago & had no problems.

The tractor is silver because I strip all of my conversions back to bare metal before I start them . Yes you are right re the 5610 axle ,you will have to file part of the axle to allow the pin to go farther through . Hope this answers your questions and make sense !

MJB1 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 metal :o that means the older blue 6600 either had a longer pin than the economy version or the TW 20 had a slightly different axle casting to the newer 5610 maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972farming Posted January 14, 2006 Author Share Posted January 14, 2006 Sorry Marcus ,I forgot to mention that the new cab and floorpan are made of white metal . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972farming Posted January 14, 2006 Author Share Posted January 14, 2006 dont go droping it on your foot then steve :o Yes it does make a model a bit weighty when its all metal . This white metal is very good to work with but can be a bit fragile as well . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udimore Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Yes it does make a model a bit weighty when its all metal . This white metal is very good to work with but can be a bit fragile as well . Dont let Nigel hear you say that I always found that white metal was good to work with The bottom line is Steve is that the end product and the cab looks the biz if the cab will sit snug and looks like it should be there well then bobs your uncle ;D And you haven't let me down yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Sorry, bit late getting in on this Topic Steve. Looks nice already, with the weightyness of the metal parts and your approach to painting this model is going to feel proper tough. I take it this cab/floorpan is available with the Super Q cab lid with the spot lights etc? Do you have the number of conversions you have done to date as they seem to be rolling into the FTF yard on a fortnightly basis?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Wow, a busy man then Steve. Glad to hear there is a lot going on as it means more pics in progress. Especially interested in the TW20's as I have two that I'd like to fiddle with one day as neither is totally original anyway. Saw the one Udi had for sale, damn money saving is getting on my nerves as I woud have bidded to win on that. WOuld like one of mine to look as good as that one day. Mirror's, handrails, bigger tyres etc ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
