jcb4cxkid Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 why does it have stabilizers? Did it originally have a back actor? It looks in very good condition ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I think they came in around the mid 1980's, the stabaliser legs were on all of them and on the platform behind the cab there is the representation of a coil of wire rope painted silver in the moulding. I believe that the initial intention was that it would have been released with a winch which would explain the legs and rope but the winch never went as far as production.

james f Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I think they came in around the mid 1980's, the stabaliser legs were on all of them and on the platform behind the cab there is the representation of a coil of wire rope painted silver in the moulding.

The legs are for a back actor attachment that comes on some versions, I have gotten two over the years, one with back actor and one without. I removed the back actor as it was a bit crap, the other one I started to put the mechanism of a battery powered Ertl Case (4884?) in, but never finished it. It is from the same series as the Ford 8630. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
