rich.new holland Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 two q's 4 u o f what did u get the wheels off and how did u fit the hitch to the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ford Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 the wheels rich were off a britains same rubin 150 tractor. the very first post on this subject tells you a bit about the hitch . when you cut off the ertl hitch just before the rivet, you are left with a hole. i just cut the back part of the siku hitch, the bit that goes into the tractor down either side and a bit off the bottum. to fit into the hole, then glued it in with trade super glue, lots and used an accelorater. so it went off hard and fast. :) hope that helps. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 VERY NICE Are you going to add the other lights on the mirrors or just leave the top ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ford Posted June 11, 2006 Author Share Posted June 11, 2006 thanks guys the front wheels i had to make thinner from the in side, about 5mm to 7mm. so there was no extra bit in side. then had to drill the centre 1mm more then drill in from the out side with a 5mm drill bit, in only 5mm so the jd axel would spin in side the wheel. the back wheels i just made the center thinner so the pin would work about 3mm on each wheel from the inside. :) dont know about the lights powerstar have to look at a picture. ???

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Bit steep, when they did the comparison in Classic Tractor on a Ford,MF,JD and Case, the JD parts were quite reasonably priced I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I might be wrong but when we had our first 3050 (1991) we had the list about 40 quid ...that was bad then been out of farming comming up 10 yrs just going by inflation in that time at a guess the 40k diddnt help especialy if you have an over-zelas driver dogging it all day our JD rep said the amount of mirors he had to change was phenominal especialy the ones with 40k good tractors, all three of them that we had 3050 40k lost 3 stems 2850 standard speed 0 stems 3350 40k lost 3 or four stems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
