CMB Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 any pictures chris? I'll try to take a few tomorrow Paul when I've finished work and there is more light available.

Tractorman810 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 yes mate ,itsa resin chassis ,just awaiting some decal news pete on the model number , but it will be a 3140 more than likely, also got a 4240s to do, and a third i fancy doing, just not decided on that, also pondering a 4th, as i have a twisted ertl chassis i can cut down for parts along with some other scrap jd parts, just need to get my head round that one, as i may?? cast the parts for it would be a good use of a comon scrap chassis if it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistol pete Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 ye was wondering if it would be worth getting my 2140 cast as it would safe me loads of work as i want to do a couple more. as it takes a bit of work to get the right height. i have a 4240 to do as well bought it from henri about 3 years at zowell. just had my decal arrive today and fitted it to my 3050. he also made me some headboard signs which i fitted tonight. are those wheels from pma any good.

Tractorman810 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 well 2 uh 2640's came home from zwolle, and ones already being sorted, as mentioned by others some feel the wheels on the new models a bit to small, rear end especially, a quick look at zwole, and 2 purchases from mini toys later ,this morning i tinkered with this, how shes arrived and what shes sporting now, have not raised the tractors height with way over the top wheels , so the stance looks right to me, the fronts will be looked at to, but right now i do not have the right tyres to fit the current hub ,as thats right in all pics i have seen, the tyres are just to narrow now to match the new rears these are not in final position yet, as they are to wide i feel ,and yes i know the hub centers not 100% correct, this will be corrected with the second set of spare hubs i have, this is pretty much a test bed right now new tyres are arround 50% wider if that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
