Tractorman810 Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 no joe they havnt, its ok for the link to the arms, although i usally replace that with brass rod anyway ,but it doesn't work at all for holding the arms on the piviot point, hence the 3bs bolts i use now, have also used scrap mini screws from broken down uh models in the past, but have run out of them now, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Ah,thanks for that,never thought of 3bs bolts, Regards Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 think thats the size, will check the box for you, they are expo tools ones so any good model shop will have them ,only really work for the arms piviot point, to big for other parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 managed to get an hr on this today, other things to do, so mainly cosmetic stuff outside, front drive shaft on, new steps built, and exhaust and air filter on in test positions, still unsure on the air filter, have seen this version on a 4240 in pics, but also seen a load with the older mushroom tops instead?? what do you think drilled out the holes in the foot plates and hand rail in position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Somebody's been busy,very tidy Sean,drilling them wee holes must have been a pain, Regards Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 thats an hrs work joe, doesnt take long really, just draw it out first, then check ,final step bang cut and regret :laugh: :laugh: , not really touched the inside on the cab yet, bar cut the seat and steering wheel(if you could call it that) off , got to make a new floor that comes away with the arches, allowing me to lift the cab a mm or two, also makes painting easy, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 I may sometime Paul poss do it on rows ?? Depends what route I take on the 2140 chassis wise . Also the last ertl chassis I have arrived yesterday and the pics didn't do it justice as it's mint so bit loathed to cut that down right now as they are getting thin on the ground now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 i think thats the way i am going to go pete, may need to move the exhaust forward a bit to, looks a bit to far back to me maybe? parts have been sent for the 3140 now to, so hopefully by next weekend i can get cracking on them again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Some pictures here Sean http://www.agriaffaires.co.uk/annonces.asp?action=rech&numrub=510 although they mostly seem to be " S's" but I think your right the exhaust does seem to sit slightly further forward,and they appear to all have mushroom pre cleaners, Regards Joe.

DMarshallModels Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Looking good now. Like the steps! Would by any chance do you have the cab and floor plan of that MTX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistol pete Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 i have a cab and a floor pan in my spares box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 got back to these today, mainly the 3140 after the new cab arrived, the interior section is pretty much done now, painted up and lever in , even managed to get a nice floor non slip finish which you should be able to see in the pics with luck the seats not fixed yet, neithers the steering wheel in place now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 the new cab has been scored out ready to cut the door ,also swapped the rear wheels, after i scaled the old set up to find they were only 32" thee abouts, so they were a little small, these came in a resin ih kit i bought for the chassis a while back, tyres are of a uh 3080 and fit nice and snug so shouldn't need glueing once the wheel hubs have been painted they scale in at 38" so look a lot better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistol pete Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 looking nice there sean must admit the rear wheels look better for a 3140. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 they do mate, sort of make the fronts look small now? but the bigger jds and alikes always look a bit wrong on 2wd anyway, got the dash ect cut out of the 4240 as well, ready to rebuild that into the arch section now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistol pete Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 well looking forward to seeing that 42 as well mate. wont be doing much myself as i am back in scotland on my holis but will get to measure a few classics up and get on my 6830. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 having a few issues with the 4240 right now, cant quite get the arches to sit right, so had a hr on the 3140, got the steps added along with new platform at the top of them, may yet make this a bit bigger though ,need to check a few pics online of real ones i think also started the arch work fitting the front light plates , still need to shape the rears on these into the arches and got the door working and fitted into place, think i have also sorted the method to make the side cab windows open / shut as per the real ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMarshallModels Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I like them wheels alot! would look well on a 3050 43wd if you could get a front pair to suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 recon i have a pair to match when i do the next one mate, will be trying to get a few sets of these rears i think, will suit a few other builds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
