bluegreen Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I would complain to the JCB dealers for delivering it with dirty tyres Paul........................I had to go and pick mine up from the couriers this morning after I missed them yesterday. The Amazone plough also looks really good in its box, Im pleased with that choice......................have to say both Britains and UH have upped their quality on recent "modern" models.

Fenside MF Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I like your extra touches you have done to it Paul,those tyres look spot on now. I see some of the real machines have 4 wheel steering would have been nice if britains added that on the rear axle but it looks fantastic very tempted myself got good conversion potential I think. p.s Your weight is in the post mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 thanks Jamie,yes,the 4 wheel steer would have been nice,thanks for the weight as well,appreciated mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 okay,with the wheels,more luck than judgement Mark,but they come off like the old or still perhaps the new ones on siku tractors,the hub and part of the wheel are all one piece,held by 2 pins,remove that,then there is a philips screw holding the wheel on,you also have to remove the rear wheels,twist in opposite directions,mine were stuck like **** to a blanket,you have to remove them as you have to undo all the screws,3 on one side,cant remember if left or right side,then 2 screws underneath,you have to remove all screws,there is no shortcuts,then you have to gently split the chassis apart to remove the cab,the rear linkage will fall out,undoing the 2 bottom screws releases the box thing behind the cab,the other screw holds on the bonnet,so be careful when you undo these,hope this helps,and put the cheque in the post mate 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
