Tractorman810 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 They do mate. Ok the arms are wrong on the jd's looks wise in shape . As I said you will need to hack the chassis to get them to sit height and length wise , but it's not hard to do, on e cut you will see why you need a sheet of plasti card cut to get a good Bond as most are hollow so you get 1 mm all round to fix to , if your. Lever cut the sheet to fill the hole inside the metal , that way you get a full over bond and can add support inside the chassis to get a better grip of it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenside MF Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 those linkages fitted on look perfect Sean,certainly makes tractors more like a wiking model which seem to be the benchmark for standard now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 The uh 690 chassis may be like the 590 one where the arm mounts are in place you can add the lift arms ect without cutting to much on the 590 , will have a look at my 690 tommorrow and check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Thanks for the pictures sean. They look good, much more realistic. One to fit linkage to my mf 690 and possibility the 5480 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 you can just see where I had to cut the chassis back to near on the axel point to get the mount right on this one ,the silver part ,most chassis do seem to need this done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 as you can see they will hold a implement ok (celtis chassis cat 1 arms kit) be aware that the small silver balls for the cat ones did come as a seperat kit, with a 9 hole bar, extended tow hitch pin and some other bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 you can put stuff on them ,I just used very small screws to fit the arms rather than the plasti tube they supply ,I used some from a broken valtra loader, ,my 3125 I did a while back will hold a siku 4 furrow plough up ok that way no problem, if they get slack just re tighten them ,other option is a small nut/bolt through the full frame, easy enough to drill the resin for it, that way you do not have to worry about removing the resin each time to re tighten it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Ok cheers. Do they operate and hold machines or are they just for show?? Sorry for loads of questions just contemplating buying some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 You may need to hack back some of the chassis to depending on how it sits. I have fitted 3 now to uh and a ertl chassis and all have required the main chassis to get cut back 5-10mm to get the kits to sit right looks wise. You will prob also need to fit a bit of plastic sheet over the hole to get a good bond to the kit as they have a flat. Side plastic rear so need a good area to bond to for strenght Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
