IH885XLMAN Posted May 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Yep i can souce the cabs cheers I was thinking of doing a IH 956 out of her but that would mean cutting the CASEIH grill off from the origional chassis and i dont know if henri does the older IH 956 bonnet and grill But a 2wd CASEIH 956 xl is Quite rare i suppose Also I wouldnt mind changing the rear wheels as those ertl ones dont do CASE or IH model tractors any jusice just a dillema depending on parts IH 955 XL or CASEIH 956 XL \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 i think dt does a 955 which would giive you the bonnet you want but i think its just a decal on the front . if henri can't help this is a option maybe? got to get henri's new list . we have both 2wd's down this way on farms in the area . if i had the 784 i would do the ih 956 so they would match but i have the case ones so i would do the case one. or look out for another one and have both thats it do both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted May 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 I want a good knaCKERD 956 I MEAN EVERYTHING TOTALED EXEPT for the back end i was going to split this one but never had the heart to \ i always think in the end " i can replace those parts" and make her almost as go as before \ :'( so if i had the fenders for a 956 xl i could make a 785xl as i have cut my ertl 784 in half for the engine bay (going to cast that bit) as for the 784s rear i might make a 674 by taking the white top off the cab and thinning down the rear pillars of the cab then just a case (CASE no pun intended )of refabricating some modeling clay on the naked engine bay of a cast 784 to a 674 \ \ easyer said than done ;D ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
