Deere-est Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I love the Unimog Graham. ... . you have though of all of my ideas before me!!!! I tried one on Loadall wheels in the week but they are a touch to big so may have to find some 1/35 eqivalents for it. I'd like to do a simialr thing to you and make a lime spreader because my imgination got the better of me by thinking what about tarting it up with floatations, fitting a fifth wheel, thed cutting the drawbar off the Britais Samson injector and adding a swan neck to it. ... Reckon that would look the business but I have only just managed bale trailers!!! Could be something for you though. The cattle box looks fantastic, love the ligh bar. Any tips? I tried making one for a Newray Scania but couldn't get the lights to stay stuck to the bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lights are stuck on with super glue and a lot of patience to hold them there until stuck :P what chassis are you useing for the 550 mate, i used a 362 chassis for mine, with jd 4020 front axel cut down to size, some ics on here in the convo section I used the 135 chassis that I had spare/scrap, cut down a 595 bonnet and altered floor pan and cab. Need to get 550 transfers though. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Wow that is some collection you have got there Brian. Have you considered putting on a display at the BA Event in the model tent this week-end? On the other hand that is a silly question since I suspect you would need an articulated curtainsider to get it there and a large marquee to hold it all !!!
