ihatepoundland Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 This is something that has been on the go for a while, it started life as a battered 1884 with a smashed cab and a cracked bonnet (although it is no longer on the powerfarm chassis). Still some work to do, the cab roof needs to be painted properly and I will add lights, mirrors etc. when I get round to ordering some. The rear linkage is missing one of the blue arms, but I'm sure it'll turn up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 Of course aficionados have by now realised that the wheels are wrong, having only 8 studs...maybe next time I'll use those from a Fendt 818, but then the Bayerns were cheap and came in white Something I may do in the future is cut circles out of plastic-card and mount them over the rims.

Tractorman810 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 is that your steering county axel rob or a normal one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 Steering county axle is still destined for the FC1174 (which is still getting there...slowly ) This axle is the Deutz Bayern, but with the 'hubs' mounted on top of the axle and attached in a similar fashion to the original, but with longer nails instead of the original screws...like a high rise kit but in reverse I think it looks ok, about as close as i could get without scratch building another....which I never will i just wanted this one finished so off the shelf parts it was. Next time I'm seriously considering the Siku TW model with a bit of grinding to the mudguards as the base, the front chassis shape seems a lot better suited.
