Tractorman810 Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 thought i'd post a few up of my soon to be 698t just like we had on the farm .still got to paint,add handrails ,mirors ,decals and fully glaze the cab.but thought ihp would like it after his 690 post the other day,uses a 6140 chassis as i personally think the 2680 one is way to big compared to the real tractor what do you think?

ihatepoundland Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 That looks awesome, you are deffinatly right about the 2680, the cab on yours looks amazing. If I was to pick one thing, I'd say it just sits a little high, don't know what you think? I had a similar problem once so I swapped the rears for the Ros 3070 tyres, but the front was 2wd, made it look a bit lower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 one option i was thinking about was switching it all onto a 362 chassis and fitting 595 rear wheels.been trying them out but looks to small overall the cab looked huge on it so this is the best comprimise i think,.although i will keep looking for the right wheels as like you say does sit a litle high but not to much unlike the 362 chassis option,i'll post some pics up when i get a chance so you can see what i mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 I think it looks good as it is, i saw a 390t on www.farmmodels.net have you saw how that one was made? Maybe use some ideas from there \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe use some ideas from there? \ already made one of those powerstar,along with a 3680 with the right cab,and a 6290 on a uh chassis and a 2685 eletronic,mid project i might use the 362 chassis option for the 290 i am going to do (with new style duncan cab)as this was a smaller tractor ,just need to see how the front loader will go on and look size wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted August 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 got the bases for 3 more of the 3680's ,just gotta get the 3 ros for the cabs ect, enough parts for 1 more 390 ,the 698 could be more of a problem though as i can't seen to get any ros 1040's,to get the cabs,no one seems to be able to get them even though there still made,was going to see if andy can get them also looking at casting the bonnets for the 390,and doing a longer 6180 bonnet for a 6290 chassis or uh option(like farmmodels.net version).just got to master hollow casting any one got any tips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Why not use the landini cab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 i know ihp there are the same,but even there hard to get hold of,usual place i get them hasn't been able to get the landini or 1040 for months now,not even what they order turns up completly,so gotta find a new supplyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH885XLMAN Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 this might get confusing but has anyone done a 690 convertion like the one above but with a britains 595 chassis since the 595 is more scaled to a 590 and was the 690 a replacement to the 590 ?

Tractorman810 Posted September 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 i have tried it international,been working on a 290 but on a 362 chassis,it does however look a lot like a 690,when i get back into the swing of things( not *** swing before anyone says) i will post a couple of pics up of both versions i'm doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
