bluegreen Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Nothing spectacular, just a bit of extra detailing to the new 775E which is replacing the recently auctioned and sold 765D on the farm layout I have added two roof aerials, two TNS dealer stickers, one security sticker on rear fender, Jan 2017 66 Registration plate, and a toolbox. Dirty tracks will follow in due course Theres a few real ones running round here now, and two new ones in TNS yard are also heading my way onto local farms by March 1st I got two because at £38 each they were a giveaway! The second ones had similar extras added less the toolbox and will be following the 765D to a presently unknown destination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CX820Joe Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Also meant to ask - are the linkages any use on these? I had a few older Challengers and you couldn't attach anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Hi chaps, The Aerial with the spring at its base was brought in from HLT website, the other one that fits to the side of the cab I made. Both sit in black rubber sleeves that in turn are glued into drilled out holes. A dollop of black paint on the top of the aerial finishes the job. I used to sell communications kit including aerials many many moons ago, so am very familiar with them. The rear links work well, however the central toplink is very fragile and Ive already bust the one on the new model for the layout.......So as I need it functioning correctly for two implements I'm somehow going to have to modify it, if successful I will add it to this thread.

whincebros Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Does the hitch have a towing eyelet as well? I took delivery of a horsch sprinter yesterday ( huge monster of a seeder!!) and I need something to tow it with. It doesn't fit my wiking Fendt..... also, have you sold the second challenger you bought as yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 The towing hitch does work but its a bit fat, I had to carefully enlarge the female tow eye on my Amazone cultivator to fit over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
