Universal Hobbies Claas Arion 640.

[JoshParkinson]

Hi all,

I'm after swapping the front linkage on a UH Claas Arion 640 to a set of weights like in the photo, does anybody do these weights and what would be the best way to go about doing it?

Regards,

Josh.

they are the same weights as you get on a uh celtis mate, and thinking about it, the ergos to, i know i have several scrapped ergos in the shed, so i can get a pic of them if you want, but it will be tommorrow now, but you will need to make a mount for them thats all, as they come with flat bits that go into the chassis from memory

Okay cheers Sean, would I just need to cut the front linkage off then or would i have to take it all apart and take it out? Never tried to butcher a UH model before, too nervous

Ok cheers Paul.

Just got to keep an eye out for an original decalled 640 now, as UH have changed the decals to the 2011 ones the earlier ones are like finding a needle in a haystack, there was one at Spalding in April and i bought a MF 1200 instead

not sure if the arion with the front loaders right for what your after, but if thats anything like the ares with loader they did a while back, remove the loader and the front linkage comes of with it, as its moulded into the loaders frame work, ?? may be worth a try, and i recon someone out there could make new decals if they are wrong from that model, plus you get the opening door ect with it to

Ahh nahh the one with the front loader is a 430 i think, it's the lower hp/lower spec version which i think replaced the Axos, but the 640 is it's bigger brother and has a different design and has controls on the armrest, hexashift gearbox and all the other gadgets etc, still in the Arion range just different designs and the 400s are a bit smaller
