PDC Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Just got to paint the repro cab,add a Siku linkage and paint and decal up,The tractor can have OPU or SG2 cab and badged as 3040,3140 or 3050.Should sell well I think also looks good 4WD using Joal front axle and wheels and Britains wheels on rear.
