Deere-est Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Definately got the right ide though with the shape and the bosywork. Will you do a Claas coloured one? A local contractor has a few in Claas colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpinefocus Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 They had one at grassland, it looked pretty smart. I wont use a marston as a doner again as it takes to much time and effort to sort the fitment for the sides and rear door. I have an AW in production as well at the mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Thats what I have used on one of my AS trailers. What did you use to fasten them to the axles? What brand of glue if you used glue? Did you make new axles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 thats some hum dinger of a trailer mate, weird tris should mention class colours, as i have lots of pics i took at the cornwall show of a class western trailer they had on display, just incase i fancyed doing one, it was a model spf12 if that helps, black letter on each side at the rear end, think it was on the yellow one someone else had on display to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What brand of glue if you used glue? Did you make new axles? I used 2.4mm brass rod from the local shop. I use rocket super glues, if you make it a push fit into the wheel, you only need a little dab. I'll take a photo of the just the chassis and axels when i get home.

alpinefocus Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 can you get that 'rocket super glue' from most shops???, it is beter than loctite superglue? I rate better than loctite as it comes in 3 grades aswell, thin, medium and thick(gap filler). I can get nozzels from work fit the tops so i apply locally.
