NIGEL FORD Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 you know NZG did one? I still have one as I couldn't get what I wanted for it on the stall a couple of years back. 1/50 scale I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsedelweiss Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I know britains used to make a front end loader truck but carn't seem to find anys links or pics. They surface on ebay and go for cheepish money. I think thats your best bet on a chassis to convert from. Will keep an eye out for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsedelweiss Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 that's artic though, the 642 is rigid, rear wheel steer. It would be the best base to start from from my point of view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue man Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 Wouldn't it be better if you used a 4wd tractor chassis with the wheels turned around so the backend of the tractor becomes the frontend of the loader? The link below might be a help to you as you can download the specifications for it http://www.volvo.com/constructionequipment/corporate/en-gb/AboutUs/history/products/wheel+loaders/Volvo+BM/Volvo+BM+LM+642.htm Cheers for that would you have any idea for 30x12 wheels and tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 i would go scratch built, as long as you have the basic dimensions your away, and if you have one to measure even better, converting a britains one wont work, its artic ,its equal wheel size so the axels are all out, the list goes on, just plan it out and draw it out properly before you start, thats the key, build wise you can go as detailed or not as you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
