Tractorman810 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 amazing how long it takes isnt it chris, but its never hard or complicated, a full scratch build is what you really want, that will tax your little pinkies :laugh: :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris.watson Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Look really good Chris ) thanks kim. but you really have to take a lot of the credit, as the thought and design, especialy the front axle, is all down to you mate. you really have a real tallent. keep it up mate.

DMarshallModels Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Looks the part Man! lovely bit of kit..It would look well with a big cultivator! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMB Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 It looks fantastic from every angle. Would look great working next to a smaller SG-cabbed Deere perhaps a 50-series. Not sure about the warning triangle though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the warning triangle though. thanks chris. the warning triangle was placed on to cover the seem that joins the two cab halfs together. i have just made contact with philipe foxhall at miniagripasion, so another older sg 2 cabbed deere could may well be arriving soon, although i am still a little undicided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksp Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Chris, will you look underneath the tractor and see if theres a hole under the cab? I will explain later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Hello Chris, brilliant job. spent many a happy hour in one of those back in the 90's, looking forward to your next one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.watson Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Hello Chris, brilliant job. spent many a happy hour in one of those back in the 90's, looking forward to your next one hello mick mate. thanks for the comments. as for another one, i think not. the tractor from ksp was £79, plus £9 postage, i spent £47 on bits from henry skelton in Holland, add on the odds and sods [paint, light jewels, and loads of time]. and i aint that skillfull enough really. if i like the miniagripassion tractor when it arrives, and catch the exchange rate at the right time, i will buy ready made tractors in future. i will do a review on the m.a.p jd 4440 if it gets here in one piece. if you read through bors thread on his models, he says that his tractors, the bigger deeres, have to make £200, and i fully understand what he means, by the time you have bought all the donner bits and new parts and added up the hours, there cant be a lot of gold in it proffit wise.

ksp Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Well Chris now you have done such a good job with my Deere im a bit sorry for a thing i've missed. If you look at the picture of one of my other 4455 you can see the axle to the frontwheel drive is mounted. I will send you the axle but you shall cut it on lenght and paint it, but holes are drilled. Would you like that? Of course i will be for free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
