Tractorman810 Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 guys been pondering over a shed full of jd chassis from jobs i have done, and came up with this, 2 options although i have to say prefer the later version(newer bonnet shape) , looks nice and compact to me,what do you recon?? like i say only testing it out for disposal of bits really hence the highness of the new arches on it, if its wrong just say, only mucking arround with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fendt 936 Driver Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Hey Mate, looks good I think! I like that. Where do you can get a cab like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Either looks fine to me Sean but remember the first one can only be a 3130 and they have Hydraulic Assit Four wheel drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Looks good Sean... I'm with Nick... don;t know anything about old (or new) Deeres... but it looks like another Pullen Masterpiece coming on there mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Either looks fine to me Sean but remember the first one can only be a 3130 and they have Hydraulic Assit Four wheel drive so they did do a 4wd one that shape then??? mmm didnt know that, like i say partial to the second one for some reason, ,bonnet and arches came of a bent 3140 ertl chassis,still got a fair bit of work to do on it though Hey Mate, looks good I think! I like that. Where do you can get a cab like this? the cab came from pdc on here although you can also get them from walkerparts@planet.nl they are on page 29 of his book at 14.50 euros, although thats a oldish book i have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdc Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I'm no JD expert but they look pretty good to me... 2WD as well, Sean? ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 no prob all 4wd as i use the 2wd axels for a proper colour tractor ,and the air filters as and when to, lot of money for just those 2 bits really, hence the need to find an option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I like the latter Sean, the farmer who has long since packed up due to youn oafs knocking his stacks of flat eights over and filling his old MF415 grain tank with apples. ... . .. .. had a 2140 with a cab like this on, I remember it because it had a yellow roof. Looks just that shape you have got yourself there. 2wd with a red loader on it (Farmco??) like what they had in them oldun days would be right good!!

Old Ford Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 they both look good Sean but the second one i like the most :P but you can't beat a massey. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 First one is the one for me. You can buy the 3140 (2nd pic) like that with the opu cab. Looking good Sean, I know you have a lot to do still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 give the first one a go,its different. i haven't seen a conversion like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 mm some intresting commets there, thanks lads, its down on my list to do as i have loads of other stuff on at the min, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james f Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Either looks good Sean, thought the mudguards will prob need to be toned down a bit if the cab door is to have any chance of opening ;D Thanks for the info about the cab, I didn't know you could get them, I've been trying to think of the best way to construct one for ages. Don't worry about the 4wd, sure it could be some oddball continental conversion... in fact why not leave the cab off altogether and save yourself that expense?

Mattias71 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 It looks good so far Sean. But a JQ made by you, it feels a little bit strange ehh ??? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi6920 Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Looks good sean id take either one iven tho the second one could be a 2040 i recon, if you can do it to a 2040 ill take it as my father inlaw has one, Nice to see you branching out and not just mocking jds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 would get a cast of the rear wings and that 3350 bonnet . looks like a few people want either one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 would get a cast of the rear wings and that 3350 bonnet . looks like a few people want either one? when i get round to it i will cast the arches and bonnnets, the arches just screw back onto the 4020's origonal fixing points, so easy to do It looks good so far Sean. But a JQ made by you, it feels a little bit strange ehh ??? :D it does feel weird mate, not my usal thing i must say, but i hate to throw stuff out, and i cant think of any other use for the jd chassis to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
