BK741 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Here's a few photo's of my first tractor conversion. Up till now the only converting I have done is to fit beacons and aerial on so I decided to try and convert a Britains Case IH 1056XL in to a mighty Case IH 1455XL! So here are the photo's I know it is not prefect but see what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

case 1056xl mad Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 did you lengthen the bonnet what a good job you have done ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK741 Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 Thanks guys for the kind comments! I used Siku JD 6920 wheels. I drilled out the molded hub flush with the rim so I could fit the original hubs. As the wheels are larger the cab had to be raised and I cut the front fenders off. The bonnet was extended and the grill for the top made out of Plasruct. Then plainted. The extended air intake is off a MF 2680. The cab steps also had be modified to allow the wheels to fit. I'm going to make a IH 1455XL next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 The bonnet from the 1455xl is a fair bit larger than a 956 bonnet though. Your best of waiting for Schuco's 1455 until it comes out later this year? Saves you a lot of hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
case 1056xl mad Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 the best case's are the xl 1056xl 1255xl and the beast 1455xl :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
