Popular Post 844john Posted August 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2021 I was asked a while ago if I would be interested in making a model of the Ransomes 902, and the more research I did into them, the more I grew to like the look of the combine, so I felt it would be silly of me not to make a pair of them so I can keep one for my own collection! Anyway, a few pictures of progress so far 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 844john Posted August 13, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2021 A bit more progress on the pair with the curved rear section of the body added, grain tanks in place, radiator and a start on the numerous bracings and joints, of which there’s a lot! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 844john Posted August 15, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2021 Dressing fan case, auger trough and dressing shoe added, along with the main and tailings elevators, and a start on the many chains and pulleys that are visible. A modern combine would be so much easier as everything is covered in! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Cracking build as ever John, in case you are interested these tiny hand made chain are actually used in pocket watch's and are produced in various sizes, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264459575457?hash=item3d9304e0a1:g:V~UAAOSwTJtddqU0 Regards Joe. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 Thanks for that Joe, they look like they could come in useful, certainly easier than making them out of plasticard! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually bought one for a project years ago, But never got around to finishing it, It was for the swing out suction pipe on a Zunhammer Zuni X Trac as they are swung out by a big chain powered by an hydraulic motor, now several years down the line I cannot remember where I put it for safe keeping, and the parts are now readily available 3D printed at ridiculous prices ????? https://www.shapeways.com/marketplace?type=product&q=Zunhammer Regards Joe.

Popular Post 844john Posted August 17, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2021 Starting to build in the detail now. I’m finding it better to concentrate on one side first and then the other as hopefully I’m less likely to miss something ! 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Wonderful work John. Only ever saw one Ransomes combine, derelict at a farm, and that was a 902. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky in that I picked up an owners manual/ illustrated parts guide for a 902 that has been very useful for working out where things should go! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
