mr softie Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 in the past couple of weeks ive been clearing out the doubles in my collection, i had three siku jd`s that i thought id have a go at converting to keep them as variations , not up to the high standards that are out there but its a start i had a 7530 which i removed the siku front linkage and added a large weight block , simple conversion then i decided to have a go at a 6920`s , changed the front linkage for a weight block, painted the diesel tank black , added a beacon and painted the top of the gear stick orange and the pto lever yellow, ive started on a 5720 removed the linkage and im waiting for a weight block for that tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Palmer Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 the artisan beacons look good, i had a spare uh beacon from an earlier project done for me and i hate to throw anything out the picture is misleading as when it arrived i had to glue the orange beacon onto the stem and you have to paint the black bit yourself,but seems a good place to order from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
