Deere-est Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Lovely, another long overdue and very overlooked tractor by the major manufacturers. Still, their oversight is anothers gain. I wouldn't mind one of these, and/or a 66 4wd too! Will enjoy following your progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Very excited to see this finished and it looks fantastic so far. Spent quite a few afternoons several years ago aboard a friend's immaculate Gen II example. Keep up the great work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bahiafen Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 i like that, well done very realistic, spent many hours on a 5610 AP many years ago look forawrd to seeing the end result a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freds conversions Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 i lowered the whole floorpan paul had to grind away part of the top of the gear box and lift top area to let it down but well worth doing it now lets the front of the cab sit down to the bonnet. when i built the 4000 with ap cab for my neighbour i didnt have this problem because the nose cone on the 4000 was shorter and to do this conversion on the real tractor you have to rise the nose cone by 3 inches to rise the bonnet up to its prober position and my neighbour didnt bother doing this.

freds conversions Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 the only thing i dont like about the britains 6600 and 7600 is the front weights would look far better like thr old 5000 they did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
