uh massey 590

[Paul Palmer]

i will be adding uh mf 1200 wheels and tyres to this model or keep the standard wheels and tyres,which ever wheel/tyre combo i choose i will be altering the track width,so it looks correct

[Tractorman810]

you certainly wont need to alter the trumpets on the 590 paul, as they are pretty close to right ,the 1200 rims will need to be trimmed in, which i tried and it didn't  go to well, so be intrested to see how it goes, heres a real 590 rear shot, as you can see the tracks quite wide

[Tractorman810]

and another with narrower rears, unless you had the patv wheels, most djusted the track by moving the offsets on the hubs mounts to the rims, which on the uh 1200 wheels wasnt that easy, hence my issues ,so i tried to make a skinny set from the mess left from the 1200 rims ect

 

[Paul Palmer]

they are set quite wide sean,your right

[Tractorman810]

you can get them in, but to be right you would need to cut the hubs out, and relocate them on the outer rims, so the domed part sticks out more if that makes sence, artisan did do a set of hubs and tyres which could be turned arround  to look right, but they only had the nut detailing ect on what we would need to be the inside if that makes sence , they give you the uh 1200 size, but without the uh axel mount ,to get the uh ones in you need to cut part of the axel mount on the hub off, and cut the axel width its self down ,plus to take the uh 1200axel, you need to drill the dia on the hole of the tumpets out, this is easy enough to do, but the plastics fine and you need to drill straight and very close to the correct dia, otherwise it will come out on the narrow point of the tumpets,

thanks for the info sean,so uh got the track width right then on the standard 590 then?

[Tractorman810]

Not far out , wheels / tyres could have been a bit bigger some may say but plenty out there on them skinnys on pav rims or gkn sankeywas it?  pressed rims

[Paul Palmer]

some fine detail added to the bonnet,altering/changing rear wheels tomorrow

[Paul Palmer]

i have only very slightly altered the track width ,these wheels are set quite wide to start with,thanks for the info sean,i decided to keep the standard pavt wheels and tyres on this one,again only reduced the track width very slightly,as i think uh still had it set a bit to wide

[Paul Palmer]

here is the number plate fitted

[Paul Palmer]

new number plate fitted,the spacing was wrong on the other one

[Jdeere6910]

I know everyone moans about UH but they do have some nice detail. The new number plate looks well Paul

[Paul Palmer]

my fault for the first number plate jd, i  didnt explain myself very well,and yes uh do have great detail but just lacking the finished article,more studying needs to be done by them before the model is ever released,and yet some of there stuff is spot on
