Psycho Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Must admit I love it Mattias ;D Love the seat and brake levers too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 When I first saw the tractor last night it reminded me of the ford 3000 I drove as a youngster, that had the "remainder of a safety cab" as you call it, without the white lid on and the rounded edges which set me to thinking I wonder how good a fit the brown cab from the small renault by britains would be?? That is a similar shape and has the rounded edges from memory once the roof has been removed...... \ and a 4020 seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Eeeeeeooooooowwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!! You have been busy!!! Another fine revamp of a model and nice that it is individual to the one you used to drive aswell, makes it all the more special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Deere Hunter Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 ;) spot on, lovely model and very well done, love the frame......would look nice with some green canvas on her ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattias71 Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Glad that you all like it so far Working with a 2wd 7710 and " the never ending story " 2wd 9700 for the moment. But there is a problem with the 9700, it looks too long!! It will rather be a 8210 i think.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
