IH885XLMAN Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 been doing a little trimming over the last hour dicided the ellite DB 990 wheels will be the best scale up from there im thinking a 1490 would probebly have the standard britains wheel fetured on the ford 6600 MF 595 etc all so im thinking the steering will look nicer aswell of the 990 the cab has been lowerd from last night as it looked like a high clearance 1390 intead of a standard ive put the 1690 (will be a CASE IH 1594) next to it just to give it a little scale please feel free to critisize constructively on scale as i havent measured it up just yet i think the bonnet wants to go just under the front window frame pics to follow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 the 990 rears have to go i'm afraid mate ,they do nothing for the tractor you have built , the 14 & the 13 won't have a problem shareing the same size wheels wheels fit the old standard britains for the 13 & some new-ray large for the 14 & it will be about right , the 15 can be fitted with the later britains wheels to look good , other than that ,don't stop now :) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 very nice im,looks a great small tractor there,like mj says not sure on the wheels,but it can be difficult to see from pics sometimes,might be worth having a play with any spares you have,just put them up against it rather than pulling them on and off the axels,the ros 3070 ones might be good,same size as the 595's but a little wider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Blimey, I wasn't expecting a delivery this side of May but it looks like you have really pulled your finger out to keep 'lil 'ol Deere-est a happy chappy!!! Seriously now, you must have done alot of reading up, trying out etc to get this far. I couldn't even contemplate making anything from scratch apart from a fart. Your doing yourself proud IM you really are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH885XLMAN Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 stop it i wont get my head back throgh the shed door to crack on ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Thanks anyway Deer-est basicaly i drove the CASE IH 1394 at my first job for a few years we also had a white case 1494 it seems picky but if i were to do a 1390 &then a 1490 (not doing a 1490)they just wouldent look right with the same rears our 1494 always stood that bit taller which was noticable to me but if i were to do one in the long future it would have the 6600 wheels like on britains the 6600 wheels in real life where the same size as the 1490 and the MF 590 so in my opinion (im being picky) the 1390 wheels have to be smaller just like their predicessors the 995 or the 996 ,990 but i will play about to make em more realistic than the ertl ones i might cast them aswell and trim them up i will have a go at one of those soon after the 1390 is finnished we will see at the end what wheels will suit the 1390 I will post 2 pics one with ertl 990 wheels one with britains MF 590-595 wheels then all of you can vote on your opinion of the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
