Jdeere6910 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 For looks alone I prefer the 690 tyre/590 wheel, but when you compare it to the real one the 590combo is much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb86 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Look forward to this Paul. In the pic of the real tractor the back mudguard stops at the light cluster, the model extends past them, are there two mudguard options or is the model wrong? Wrong breed for me so I don't know!

Jordan_coe2012 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) Looking good Paul how will you level (Well not level but not but make it not so steep) out the bonnet would you do it at the front or at the cab end of the bonnet if that makes sense? I did mine at the cab end but just curious as to how you would do it? Edited December 31, 2015 by Jordan_coe2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) Hi Jordan,i will do the bonnet as i did on my other 690 mate,i just literally rest the bonnet with the 2 lugs having a drop of super glue on and just place it until the bonnet decal is level,that simple mate,have a happy new year Jordan Edited December 31, 2015 by paulali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
