dr-abich Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 I ve alr eady show off little bit in my onion loader\picker topic. Some time ago hmm few moths i spot that on ebay for 5er. Shape was.. better i write whats going to be from that ;). First of all bigger wheels thats basics ;). Already prepared under body means frame "gearbox" from steel box section and steel bar and its heavy ;). Going to reuse engine coz got some details and im to lazy to build new one. 3 point linkage will be different. Im going to put some windows in cab. Change color to white. Straight exhaust pipe. There's on Youtube one which is our impression
alf aphid Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Watching with intrigue, I too have this on my list to do. It sits in my little boys toy box at the moment !
Janval Posted August 15, 2019 Posted August 15, 2019 I've got a hndfull of these picked apart and paint stripped atm, got a cab and bonnet piece white and ready as well. The base is actually nicely detailed on these! Looking forward to seeing your build as well!

I’m never quite sure dimensionally how good they are, and the cab is very chunky, but it’s better than nothing !
dr-abich Posted August 15, 2019 Author Posted August 15, 2019 Alastair from what i checked dimensions are all right. Horrible things are :steering axle but it was in most of models from that era and 3 point hitch (2 point actually) which You can see on first photo something huuuuge after tractor. Now i'm trying to find another one like that for base like a 1270 or maybe 3294 but its quite expensive. People selling it as a rare model.
Janval Posted August 15, 2019 Posted August 15, 2019 I have seen it going up in price as well, and when they aren't the shipping costs are out of this world (at least in my case). I've never understood why they made the seamed stuff, completely ruins the looks of the models. Also on the 2294's there seem to be different hitches, the one in your photo Dominik is the worst kind How does the 1270 and the 3294 compare in size to the 2294?

I don't know yet cab looks same.3294 have same wheelbase from what i found so bonnet possibly same except that hump on top. Let me finish that one and i m going to start with some research
dr-abich Posted August 16, 2019 Author Posted August 16, 2019 Some preparation for fever work on it IMG_2619.MOV

Janval Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 Looking good! Quite some work there with cutting of the engine!

Ah ok that’s interesting to know, I just always thought it looked a bit narrow in the cab, but in truth it’s not that I’ve seen many in real life! yes the hitch is something else, we had ours out tonight on the carpet, and it made me smile the way it had just been bodged on, added to that it’s useless! I’m planning grafting a Britain’s hitch on mine as I’d like it to function. I daren’t strip it just yet, don’t think I’d be popular!! you can pick them up for not too much money if you wait, postage is always the sting though!

Janval Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 I'm gonna re-use the chassis as well I think, don't have the necessary tools to cut off properly or quick enough! Speaking of wheels, got so much I won't need a donor for years :
alf aphid Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 What made you do away with the chassis? Didn’t think it was that bad...
Janval Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 I think it's ok as well, but the steps, front weight and the rear end requires work. By the looks of it it seems a rear hitch will sit too far behind if it's mounted directly on. That's my take on it.

I want to make this model very realistic and my curiosity telling me build that from basic using only bonnet rear mudguards and cab. What's going to be from that time will tell. By the way have You ever seen guys style of steering wheel in real one?? Looks like proper racing one from 70. Reminds me a little bit NARDI torino.

Ha ha yes you are making life difficult, I have to say, unless I find any glaring errors with it, my chassis will be staying!! and as to the wheel, yes I had, Quite a thing!!
dr-abich Posted October 14, 2019 Author Posted October 14, 2019 Foun some time today for this thing .I prepared front axle only
dr-abich Posted November 3, 2019 Author Posted November 3, 2019 i did little progress last time. Fabricate bottom arms for 3 pt link. Prepare hitch. Have to shorten top arms for 3 pt link its need to be under cab. Still loads to do to finish. Who's doing proper decals??
Janval Posted November 19, 2019 Posted November 19, 2019 Looking great! Have to admit that the new chassis looks great on it, awesome metalwork otherwise as well!.
