nathan Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 thought i would show you this. its the bits from the jd4020 afwd . i'm not in a hurry to do it but it might give you guys a look on how it will look. bits used are jd axle,rear mud guards,seat rear wheels(ford ones are to small) if anyone wants the bits to do it give us a pm.

Tractorman810 Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 do you recon the ford ones could be made to fit then?? with a little work, they are a fair size after all, so should cope with the wheels diameter i would think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted July 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 with a bit of work on the front axle it would work. i did try it first and the front was in the air a bit. i've got a load of jd bits to use somewhere mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spud Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 that looks good nathan make a 4600 out of it cheers Reece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted July 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 i think the only way to do that one would be to turn the axle upside down. looks like a little gem that one mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one starting on ebay tonight at 9.00 pm. I also have a pile of JD 4020 bits left over but I am working on another tractor to use some of them up.

MJB1 Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 wasn't the 4020 axle a 4wd assist ? if so then it'd be wrong for a proper 4wd 5000 wouldn't it ? looks good none the less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 wasn't the 4020 axle a 4wd assist ? if so then it'd be wrong for a proper 4wd 5000 wouldn't it ? looks good none the less keep up at the back it could be a Shire or a Carron (sp?) which were hydro conversions of the 5000 skid unit I'm tempted to put the TN75A axle on one, but the diff needs to be offset (ok, not the hardest thing to model) and the tire pattern is far too modern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 thought i would try the bubble cab on the bonnet and he bleeding bonnet is too wide. will have to cut a bit of the bonnet away on both sides when the 7000 &7600 come out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
