MJB1 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 nice , how much trouble would it be to stretch the chassis to carry 2 tractors ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 nice , how much trouble would it be to stretch the chassis to carry 2 tractors ? Exactly what I'm thinking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 those newray chassis ain't easy to glue,my 8 wheeler is awaiting a re glue after the chassi came apart,not sure what to use now for it as i have tried all sorts of glue for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 get some U shaped surface edging from B&Q & fill with instant contact adhesive , then drill & bolt it that'll hold the bugger :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 thats my next option mate,have all the plastic for the feed body,as the last one was a bit thin,and am hopefully going to add the internals like doors ect to it also,,but those plastic chassis are a nightmare to bond,tried t2 part glue /superglue,epoxy stuff ,spent a fortune on glue,and it doesn't seem to set on the soft plastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow legs Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 wont be stretching this one as its just a run about, may stretch another one thoe! as for glue mine always stick solid first time like concrete! i use bostik superglue 3g tubes so it dosnt go off, bugger if you stick ya fingers with it! i buy it from wilkinsons stores, 99p per tube, all their stores stock it.

Deere-est Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Sparrow/4C either of you guys have any inkling how the guy in Classic Tractor with the farm display a la Mother!!! Achieved the standard, lower roof on his Scania artic? I'm sure it is a NewRay now after looking closely at it but it isn't a Topline.

NewHolland2 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 6 wheelers brother to be. Building still on going, but heres a little taster of the 8 wheeler. Looking good...... :) Do the beacons come as standard with the original model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4C Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 No, beacons were already fitted to doner tractor unit by sparrowlegs. 1/32 driver will have to avoid low trees or will knock off!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
