bluegreen Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 John Deere 6250R, Seen a few of these around my area now so decided too buy one and try and fix its obvious flaw. Wiking failed to raise the cab which is one of the most obvious differences between it and the 6215R. So I have taken it apart and removed the cab, packed it up as much as I can get away with without leaving a gap (2mm) and then reset with longer screws at the cabs rear and glued the lugs at the front. Painted the door edge bottoms black and wherever else black was needed around inside cabs perimeter and under the rear window. I also removed the exhaust number plate and painted it satin black. I might try and narrow the wheel widths at a later date but to be fair its a bigger machine than the old 6210R its based around and looks ok on large wide set tyres. Im pleased to see Wiking are painting their wheels now as well. Also I felt the old 6210 models wheelbase was a tad too long but on the 6250 its about spot on so all in all I think it looks pretty good now. The orange weight has since been sprayed green you will be pleased to know 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bit showery outside so I thought it inkeeping with the theme of the photo. Although if I'd been a bit handier with the camera I should have made it look like the truck was loaded!

SPN Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I've been away working for the past six months, and am looking at a career change, which will take up lots of my time to get organised. But I do want to get this little lot finished, and another dozen or so projects progressed. The Ransomes MG, Allis Chalmers and Fordson N are all on my SCALEdown to do list. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
