Tractorman810 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 well after dwoss very kindly posted his pics up, i have made a start on this now, ,while waiting for some resin parts to set, not the big 7 ton version, but more along the lines of the 2 smaller ones i found a pic of, ,basic bodys built now,just pondering the back end, pretty sure it was only the 2 paddels as well, unless anyone can correct me just need to shorten the tow bar when i have the main parts ready ,and have found a great pto shaft for it, inc the knuckel joint at the front,old uh nectus steering shaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSheetAndYellowRims Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 yeh looks good until now. did you make the paddels by your own ? thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwross Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 if you want to use the leaflet I will lend it to you, send me an address. Also found a picture of smaller one in Culpins farm machinery 10th edition. Tried scanning it but could make nothing of it. I think the kidd feeder wagons use the same basic designs are there not any about your area? David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 not that i have seen mate, last one i saw was on the farm a good 10 years ago now, shouldnt need the brouchure ,as i have a prety good idea about the back end from the pics i have, just unsure about the paddel numbers and positioning, the large one you posted has a rounded part at the lower back, so i will copy that, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 cheers mark, currently sat drawing out the side of the main buldge to get the right shape, then i can fill the edges out with thin sheet,and match the trailer profile, ,also needs a new set of boots, the britains one are a bit to small i think, after a set of siku ones, they are a bit bigger and wider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Looks great Sean, dare I say it but compared to what you have done in the past at least - would this be a fairly easy build of sorts mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 bit more done today ,got the side pod on and the opposite side built,just the small pod to fit this side as per the pics i have from dwoss , along with the cross bar and tow eye fitted, also put a set of bigger boots on her as the britains ones didnt look right, to small ,fitted a stand to ,next step is the front buldge where the tensioning bars are for the belt/chains, still undecided which to fit though, does she look ok scale wise to the 575 then?
