Britains JQ 7920 wheels

[nashmach]

Thinking of doing my first conversion during Christmas on the 7920 by putting the Siku 8280 tyres on it - what's the best way of getting off the awful tyres on it - I presume just nick them with a hack saw and pull them off

[Deere-est]

You must be brassic all the time, living that close!! 

Why does everyone put JQ and not JD? ??? ???

I don't go there that often for that reason mate!!

Well, after Nasher's epic attempt at changing a few tyres, the job  was handed over to me for remdial works, involving drilling both broken ends of the track rod and refitting them together with a piece of wire, plus a few adjustments to the tyres . Might get a few photos up next week if I think of it. Unfortunately my JQ collection is now getting worryingly large

[nashmach]

Rephrase that Jimmy boy - you bought it off me as seen - sure it was a JQ I had to trash it :D

You don't mention this and I won't mention your ploughing antics 

[nashmach]

Well here is the done deed - first the broken axle

[nashmach]

The back end - had a bit more fiddling to do with this before james fixed it seemingly

[nashmach]

And finally the front - it looks a lot better with these wheels anyway

[james f]

Right, so I finally got around to taking some photos of the finished job. As you can see, the tyres are a big improvement over the old ones. The rear wheels need to be pulled out off the axle slightly to allow enough room for the wheels to turn easily. The front track rod was easy enough to fix, I just drilled out each side with a 0.6mm bit and a pin vise and glued it back together with a piece of wire inside for strength

I finally got Siku to send me a front weight for my 6920S mower tractor, the last time they sent me a front linkage!! Needs a few more mods for the 2007 season, but she looks better now Finally, a line up of my JDs

[nashmach]

Still waiting on the pics of the line up James - is that like waiting on you to do a decent closing split  ;D

(only messing)  :D

It looks far better alright Ben but the front axle is still a bit loose according to james 

[james f]

OK its there now . The front wheels still look out at a funny angle, but what would you expect, its a John Deere. As long as the gearbox doesn't give up or the tractor go on fire I'll be happy :D . I was just happy to get the track rod back together without thinking about altering the toe-in. Anyway I havent really got a job for her so she will be sitting idle most of the time (just as well maybe )

She will probably be still giving trouble  :D
