markduck Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 This has been my latest project, it consist of a shortened precision ertl JD 8530 chasis and cab, britains bonnet, Wiking JD rear linkage, custom built front linkage, Siku Fendt rear tyres and Siku JD 7530 front tyres. Still have a little work to do on the front linkage, but otherwise i am rather happy with it. This was the beginning of the build Here is the result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Not flipping bad!! Very nice indeed, were you nervous cutting up the precision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markduck Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 It wasn't too bad, stripped it down and then worked out from measurements where it would need to be cut, the hardest part was getting the bonnet to sit right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
