Kiwi6920 Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 For the difference in price I would vouch for the casting myself. Spend money to make money. Those prices were jsut rough guesses.. i still have to find casting materials.... they might cost alot if they have to come form oversaeas...

Kiwi6920 Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 Now that i look at my books the axle is close to correct. In some pics the bonnet is at the front edge of the wheels and in others the bonnet is just behind them closer to the middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 kind of stuck between both at the mo, have you considered the ertl cab top, on the uh cab base?? remove the mtx cab top basicly, may be a better blend of both then????sure you could add green curves if needed to the rear corners of the uh cab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 well having seen this pic in grahams posts, a lovley side on shot, i would plumb for the mtx cab, but straighten up the front uprights maybe , and maybe trim the rear screen slightly smaller,with the ertl cab top, the mtx shell has the potential, with a small ammount of work i recon, and you get the door handels ect to boot all pre made, stick with it mate, as i recon you aint that far of a cracker http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=13951.msg236322#msg236322 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do i get negative numpty point for owning up? No i think you should get 2 numpty's one for saying ertl made a 7810 when you meant a 7410 and another one for trying to riggle out of 1 again will you never learn running makes you look guilty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
