FW Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Started on the next one tonight. Plenty more to do, what do you think?? Was going to do one myself tommorow and nice to see the final result.....well done! Are they the rears off the 4020 aswell then? As I was wondering if they'd be any good. \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 Thanks chaps Don't know if my efforts are good enough to sell FB FW - The rear wheels are 4020 centres with old type britains tyres. The 4020 tyres looked like Stomils urghhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDFord Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 Stripped off old paintwork this afternoon, re shaped rear of wings and cab roof and attached hitch properly. hopefully I'll sort out how to mount the new front axle in the next day or two \ (notice blu tack in place at the moment ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDFord Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 From the ground up, eh? A nice start to what should be a fantastic model going by previous standards of yours MD. Thats right,thanks (Tris is it) Always like to try and do a proper job Maybe I should change to MDDeere \ I think if and when I try another I better do a different breed, it's just that I've always liked SG2 cabbed Deere's.

Deere-est Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Tris it is yes. Have to agree with the SG2, I've never had the good fortune to drive anything bigger than a 2140 but it's a very gracelful classic I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDFord Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 Thanks Tris & Si. Can anyone tell me what is the right colours for 40 series SG2 cabs. Brother in law used to have a 2040S with all black cab and others I've seen have been all black, but some have green bottom half I think. What would be correct?

SIMON. Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Mostly all black cabs only from what i've seen some roof tops where yellow as well up to you what you think looks best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS135A DRIVER Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hi there. If I remember right the cab should be all black for the frame on an SG2 model cab. You can choose either green or yellow for the roof colour. The yellow roof was found on the "XE" models which were an economy build version, which if I am able to remember had the floor mounted gear levers and the higher spec green roof versions have the side mounted gear levers. Hope this helps you out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 Cheers ts & si. I remember X-E spec, got an advert in an old Power Farming mag for them somewhere. Economy spec with floor mounted sticks and no frills etc. I've just looked at dutch website www.tractorfan.nl photo gallery and there are some 40 series with green around the bottom windows. I think I'll stick to all black for mine - easier to paint and I reckon it looks better. Oh and I sorted out front axle mounting bracket today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow legs Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 i own a 3040 X reg with an sg2, the cab is black but from the side window bottoms down is green ( bottom half of door and r/h lower window) i belive all 40 series were like this, the 50 series have all balck cabs. some people painted the cabs on 40 series all black to make them look newer to match the 50 series look in the farm implement section and you will see my tractor with the spearhead flailer for reference to what im discribing, hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON. Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I've just looked up some 3040 and i can't find one with the bottom of the doors painted green http://www.terre-net-occasions.fr/it-it/occasions-agricoles.asp?mots=3040&idType_Offreur=1 I think they look better in black gives them a more 50 series look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 Thanks for that sparrow legs, nice outfit you have there Simon,if you go to the link on my last post then click on "foto's" then select the 3rd John Deere listing and then pick 3140 etc you'll see what I mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
