Used a Britains Q cab 6600 for it . I used the front axle from the 6600 ..but it seemed a little too big for the 4600!! , even tough I manged wrap the front rims with the old style Britains tyres from the very first Britains 2wd tractors like the MF 595 / Ford 6600 Fieco cab tyres. So the front rims looked the part ... Bar the big bulky front axle .. I also done a 4000 using the same method . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could maybe get away with a UH 5000 front axle, it doesn't have the bulkiness of the Britains axle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the Scaledown wheels are narrower compared to the Britains . The UH 5000 front axle is probably the best option or maybe a matching Scaledown front axle also .
