Fenside MF Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Hi all,looked through my spares box and have this two ebay buys to make up a siku john deere 7530,unfortunately for me the cab is trashed as all the glazing is scratched but I think its a model worth saving and restoring if I could find a new cab for it. So my question is would anyone know if a siku jd 6920 cab is a good fit on to the floorpan or is it 7530 cab fit only? I know the glazing bars on the front screen is one difference between 20 and 30 series. And would any members have any of the cabs in there spares box they would be willing to part with,as I can't find either on the internet at all,Thanks Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenside MF Posted June 24, 2023 Author Share Posted June 24, 2023 So I had no replys on this model,so assuming I cant get a cab not sure what to do with it. I have a chance of getting a britains jd 6m and using the floorpan +cab to make it good but then stuck with the leftovers from that model,or also have a chance to just buy a siku 7530 for around £50 which combined costs with what I have and getting a britains 6m will be same cost wise really. Trying to figure out a way of making it good and not throwing much in the bin and getting a 30 series without paying the mad wiking prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirTainly Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Could you try the tooth paste polishing technique to take out the scratches in the glass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have bought a britains john deere 6m for the floorpan and cab to go on this but I will give it a go and see how it comes up as I've never tried that, thankyou for the advice Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenside MF Posted August 6, 2023 Author Share Posted August 6, 2023 Please could one of the mods move the topic over to tractor conversions sometime,thankyou. I started work on this one as I didn't want to pay silly money for a wiking 7530,,Made the front axle work and steer a bit better got the fronts wheels rolling smoother,then got the 3d printed zuidberg front linkage buit up and working nicely,lastly had a bit of a test fit with the newly painted floorpan and cab on. Exhaust and rear linkage to be done next! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack390 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Looking good , that front linkage looks smart. I’d like one on my wiking 7530 but don’t want to risk damaging the model 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
