Finn Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I think he's too short to reach the light switch. She's coming along nicely, Tris. The wood deck will be smart looking. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 Yeah they are mate, ideal. Free as well from a McDonalds near you!!! You ought to have that little Ford in the middle really mate, you'll get done for axle overload on the trailer!! As for these cheeky comments.. .. . . how rude!!!!! (Finn, FB. . .!!) :D :D FB, straight back in to it like a duck to water mate. A break is a good way to come back thinking fresh. . I had three months of ideas and nothing to do with them!!!

Tractorman810 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 will it be the same colour as the main rig then tris or red as she is now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 She'll be red chassis and sides on the truck and trailer. Silver crash bars and rear bumpers on truck and trailer, black arches and ratchet boxes I expect. The wood will be painted a dirty colour and then rubbed down to get rid of the gloss same as on the deck of the trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Looks great mate, any updates with the front half? Are you putting the britains tractor unit bac on the front or using a more modern loking new ray version? Looking great anyway, will be good to see it all hitched up. Make sure you hitch the drag quite close to the body of the lorry. All the one's I have loaded have nearly been touching. Be great to see it finnished!!

Deere-est Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 Cheers guys, nice comments from you all. Keeps me going with it. Jez, it will be an MAN F2000 cab on the front. Brian gave me the idea and has helped me figure it out. The tow hitch is mounted underneath to bring the trailer forward. I loaded an FM12 today with a bed extension for hay - so much so, the rear bogey was exactly in the middle - thats a hell of an overhang!!!

Jez Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 So Tris, when can you deliver me one? I love the lights and the storage box on the drag. No pressure to make the lorry as good!!! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
