bluegreen Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Ive made a few more changes to one of my two T7225s.....................Ive switched it onto R38/650 Replica rear wheels and tyres. The donor tractor parts were taken from a Claas 550 (Rear tyres only, front tyres and wheels).................And the rear wheels are from a UH CASE Puma which features a better bar axle than the original UH NH models. Ive painted the wheels white and grill coal black as per the real thing.........................also some black paint behind the cab roof lights.

bluegreen Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Most short wheelbase T7s round here run on R38s which I prefer, and Im pretty happy with how this model has turned out............The CASE rear wheels are a perfect fit inside the Claas tyres as well.

Paul Palmer Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 nice work as allways Phil,could you explain about the black you painted behind the cab lights,what colour was it before? also have you managed to find replacements for the claas wheels and tyres,seems a shame for what is a fairly expensive model,the puma,well thats no loss really,an awful model,at least the wheels off that wont be much of a sacrifice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegreen Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Looking at pics on Farm model news facebook of the new UH T6.175 I cant help noticing UH have now got the front facing rooflights set in the correct black plastic mouldings, which they failed to do with the T7s despite both tractor ranges having identical roofs! I sold the Claas model less its wheels Paul, made 25 quid I think so not to bad. I was tempted to buy a Wiking Claas Arion and fit the far better UH Arion wheels and tyres unto it, and possibly cab and rear fenders (If the paint match of the bonnet is ok) as the Wikings wide mudguards just look too wide.
