Pete Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Looks a good 4wd, UH got the 690 and 390 wrong way round. Should have been 2wd 690 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack_c Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 Looks a good 4wd, UH got the 690 and 390 wrong way round. Should have been 2wd 690 Cheers Fully agree with that, Was that not the original plan? Seem to remember the first prototypes were like that?

CASE CX90 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 First class very nice indeed ............can you spill the beans how to split the tractor to do the conversion ........having never done one before gotta start somewhere ........Stephen Frator was at Perth on Sunday and said it can be very costly if it goes wrong ......so if possible can you advise a few steps what to do \ how to do it .....

Fenside MF Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 oh 4wd from a uh ford,nice,many conversion potential these uh390,390 t would be a lazy convo First class very nice indeed ............can you spill the beans how to split the tractor to do the conversion ........having never done one before gotta start somewhere ........Stephen Frator was at Perth on Sunday and said it can be very costly if it goes wrong ......so if possible can you advise a few steps what to do \ how to do it ..... most uh models usually prise up the bonnet from the grill to find a screw under the bonnet then two screws under the rear arches to get the cab off, pull off steering wheel,then there is a screw either under the seat or to the seat from underside of chassis to get floorpan off then you will see the screws holding the chassis together,undo those and you can get playing about with droping different front axles in filed to fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reqen Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Well done, Jack_c. Only I don´t see the drive axle bar. You can put on in the model, in the left side. Best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack_c Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Well done, Jack_c. Only I don´t see the drive axle bar. You can put on in the model, in the left side. Best regards. Ssssssshh... I am going to try and put it onto the next one I do, I plan to have it but want it so that it doesn't affect the axle movement so it will have to have some movement in it at both ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 2wd fronts come off, you just need to pop out the grey centers, and theres a screw behind them,but they have glued them in well so as mentioned go for masking, may save any damage, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
