BGU Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Latest purchase - and before you wags out there say it NO I haven't bought a recovery truck because I like JD's!!!!!! Quite impressed with it. The back has a pin that releases - can you fit a tipper back on? I had a quick look on Dave's site but cannot find any replacement beacons - anyone know where I can source some?

BGU Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 Would also like some new stickers. Has anyone ever taken the wheels off of one of these - this ones are a bit loose and I have a wreck I could use as spares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 i have put some cheap new-ray wheels on mine & they look pretty good , unfortunately the crane / winch has no longer got the mounting plate to refit it, a tipper body can be fitted as the bar at the rear is used for the hinge . mine also needs decals & lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGU Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 What did you use as the tipper body MJB? Anyone out there got a spare tipper body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udimore Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Marcus those wheels finish that off a treat what a great improvement mate ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 it's not a tipper body BGU it was a britains vicon fert spreader , that was going to be originaly broken to make a mounted version , in years gone past , but it was fitted to the mog recently, with spray booms to be used as a fert / seed applicator, unfortunately it has been fixed to the chassis & is there to stay for the time being anyway more pics http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=9170.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
