Tractorman810 Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 well all i can say is i will try and acheve stans challange, ut i doubt i will get done before i go away, started my nemesis part today ,the bit i have really not wanted to do,the lift arm fittings, got the cutting blades on, and started the 4 pullys for the two belts that lift the crop to the blades, so far i have made 10 of these just to get 4 that look ok, takes a while as i need to shape the h beam down then glue this round some hollow rod , need to tab the start on with superglue, which is followed by plasti weld and clamps to get a finished item, .then make the infill for the mountings to go on, has taken me 3 hours to get these done and as the first pic shows i suspect i will be some time yet as i have a lot of them to make 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 and the first 3 from 4 tensioning pulleys made, again x attempts per wheel as these are on 2 mm thick inc the sides hand cut , to be honest i suspect the rest of the smaller ones will be to difficult to make now,so will probably be discs now, as i really do like my fingers as they are,especially not long before a holiday 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 First time I've seen this Sean I'm sorry to say, but what a fantastic build, looks a very complex thing to build, really looking forward to seeing it finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 cheers john, as you can tell its taken me just a little while to get to this stage, like 7 odd years which is bad really, ,but its hellish fiddley, makes the 3 combines seem like a 3 year olds lego kit think i started it before ciran did his on perfect 32 to be honest , 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 no point in rushing things Sean! looking at how complex it is i can see why you've been putting it on hold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEP Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Some seriously tricky and intricate work on that Sean, these things can take time - but it will be some model when it's finished. Looking forward to seeing it completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll all be worth it when you get it painted up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 Its getting there , got the remaining ones fitted now , just got to trim the cutting discs down a bit and then thats the lift arm done, few other bits left to sort on the chassis , motors and the pto shaft part ,detailing stuff , then its paint time , so need to hunt down the code or find a stockist of the green , the one its based on has all the saftey guards in green as well so no need for yellow paint , if i can find a new better set of rims they will stay plain as well , sure i have some more in the spares box , will get her indoors to do my decals then , i dont have the patience on the laptop for that bit but do to make it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a gander over the real thing on google images, not surprised it’s taking so long. Henri Walker surely is your decal man ? The wizzler ones he did me literally looked perfect and Ian at tab his are great on my weeks. I’m like you I really don’t have the time for the computer side of the models. I need to though one day sit down and learn it all properly. What wheels are you currently planning on using ? Britain’s ford 4wd wheels would look well I’m sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 the wifes pretty good at doing them to be honest, shes pretty arty farty , i just get someone to print them for me then, i tend to do tests on plain paper first,so i know its sized spot on, then send the file away,used to print them ourselfs when she had access to the colour laser jet at work,and the paper or vinyl stuff we got was cheap as chips to, what i really need is the paint code for the green,have had a really good look round and no one seems to list it in any of the lists, if i had the code i could get a tin mixed easy enough 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I can’t find the RAL code for it Sean but there are a few stockists of the paint out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 neither can i gav, been looking,i have found one that does a 1l tin, but not an aerosol, they are in ireland, last resort will be asking them if they can do a areosol, as no way do i need 1 l , its that or try and find a close enough match i guess . i keep getting drawn to this one when i look at the charts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) I remember,long time ago,someone produced aerosol tins with a tyre type valve on them,you could mix your own paint,then pressurize the tin,and spray away,unfortunately no idea what they were called,but I have seen them they did exist,?? I Googled this years ago,and got no where,got much better results this time, https://www.google.com/search?q=Refillable+aerosol&client=firefox-b&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwij-PH7vaTdAhULD8AKHYEYBiQQsAR6BAgFEAE&biw=1920&bih=966#imgrc=_ Regards Joe.

bluegreen Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Nice project going here Sean, but has any manufacturer made either a trailed Beet harvester or a 80s - 90s self propelled version?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegreen Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) Who made the first self propelled 1 32 beet harvester any idea? All I can see are Holmer and Ropa machines, no matrot or moreau machines sadly. Edited September 16, 2018 by bluegreen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
