B O R Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 ive a few more mowers i want to add in time and ill probably build them in a very limited batch of 2 or 3 at a time....i wouldnt want to be repeating mower builds over and over as ive found them one of the trickiest models to make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B O R Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 theres so many exposed parts on a mower...its not until you actually go to build one that you realise just how much work you,re dealing with...everything must work and be measured absolutely 100% to replicate the real workings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B O R Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 was awkward making the swather but i think it makes the model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B O R Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 this will be a nice addition to my collection..i intend having mowers i can use in front of my 21 foragers so ive now got 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B O R Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 the 339 and 338 and 337 and 336 continued production after Kverneland took over..only the decals were changed and the curtains were green instead of yellow.....the 339 was introduced the last year of the yellow livery.at the end of the yellow models life the mower was actually fitted with a decal above the cowhead reading KVERNELAND as well as the decals that ive fitted to my mowers,then after that the curtains changed to green and the TAARUP name dissappeared and the decals read KVERNELAND TA339 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B O R Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 thanks man..after 66 gruelling hours they are complete....the hard thing about a mower is that you kinda have to make the frame and body at same time and be constantly making sure everything works with each other,i thought i could have made the frame and got it out of the way but doesnt work like that...so during the build its a constant trial and error and trying together and taking apart and can be very frustrating at times getting clearances etc correct and working.....the frame though is probably the single hardest part to make and theres a lot of fittings to be added to it along the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
