IH885XLMAN Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 i like that did you sacrifice a ELITE john deere for the front Axle or make it yourself the back wheel centres look brill but the width is too much for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Option one for me too TM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Another dead John Q! The down side, however, is that ERTL willl prolly bring out lots more of the horrible things becasue sales are so high! Dear Bill, If you sold the front axle and wheels of the 4020 on their own, you could get damn near the same price for them from customisers - in fact you could get more because we wouldn't have to pay the refuse charges for the disposal of the scrap tractor chassis (not to mind the embarrasment of our neighbours and friends witnessing us buying JohnQs in public).

Tractorman810 Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 yeah another dead jq,best place for them :D :D i wonder when they will cotton on to allowing people to buy bits like that ,could be a whole new market for them eh andy might be worth suggesting to them,siku supply spares ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 FWIW I reckon option 'b'. We had a 575 which had huge tyres on for it's time....something like 18.4 34 and it looked like that. Maybe if they were tighter to the body as spacing wasn't an issue then - no tramlines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allis8550 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Stick with option 1, looks spot on for a 500 series to me, nice work. I'm with the others, nice to see another JD bite the dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/32 farmer Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 go for the top pic my self tm810 the tims are to wide unless you can trim the inside of the wheels and pull them in a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Option B... but set them in a bit for me as well Sean e baby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 The set from pics 1 and 2 Sean, didn't even have to scroll down to the second set to get that answer from me. A dash of Massey silver and Bob really is your uncle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
