Old Ford Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 my first conversion a jd 3350 into a better jd 3350 i hope. first a bit of cutting up. cut off the old ertl hitch and some of the tractor up to the rivet. after removing the wheels by pulling off the front one's and knocking through the pin on the rears. then adapted a siku hitch to fit in the hole thats left. then cut the mud guards up by the cab, right along to the flat bit. then when still hot bend the metal flat, cut off to the right lenght by the cab pillar :). have painted some bigger wheels ,but may be a bit big ???. next going to bath the baby.

Deere-est Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Looks exciting Old Ford, nice bit of handy work for your first conversion. The wheel/tyre combo looks ok to me. Looks like she will marry up to a four furrow reversible very nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewHolland2 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 thanks mart must be more fun working on the real thing, hey mart. ;) Working on the real thing is brilliant fun and very rewarding but certainly costs a lot more than working on the 1/32 versions...... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
