Popular Post sipher172 Posted March 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2020 I have made a little more progress on my Chief Grain Dryer. I didn't like my first attempt at the stairs so I rebuilt them. I have also integrated an alternate silo for the wet grain. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She looks better on singles. not 100% sure , but i think they are Brian Norman ones, i got them of a table at toytrac in oct from a spares box , they didn't say who they were by, but i did see some very similar on brians table later on. the plan was to put them on a 1200 chasssis i have here, but i have always wanted a 1250 , sadly the prices of new ones now put paid to that ,until i saw this one, i had the spare axel bits from a broken un repairable 1200 i got ages ago, and it came in at under half the price to a new ones i have seen of late . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipher172 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Little bit more progres today. Added the front vents and finished the stairs system. Also added the chain auger system that links into the grain stores. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look like the wheels on the Brian Norman 1200. Is that a new rear linkage as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes mate , had a bust 1080 which had the same back end near enough as a 12/1250 so the arms ect have gone on from that, need to find a decent top link though, replicagri one maybe thats adjustable and easy to put on and off being a hook type 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N. van Eekelen Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Those wheels look great Sean... I’m also looking for some new kit on a 1250, did found one for good money years ago and used the tires on a 675 and 590, sadly the rims are useless, and the duals didn’t look that great either.... But, how do we get a hold at such nice wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 i don't think Brian has a website to be honest niels, sure someone on here will know, and probably know his contact details as well, i only tend to see him at shows to be honest .

Tractorman810 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 the 1250 came rimless stan, hence why it was cheap, also missing the rear axel trumpets, but i had some of them from a previously knackered 1200. i have a complete 1200 as well, minus wheels ,so another set could well be purchased if these finish up well paint wise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPS Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Decided to start something new, even though there's already several projects ongoing ! Picked this up quite a while ago... It's a JCB 808 excavator kit in 1/50th scale. Produced by Nigel Paine, it's been 3D printed. Quite simple to build, but is quite detailed and I'll be interested to see how it turns out. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve often wondered why we are not seeing more 3D printed stuff for kits and small run items, I guess we will over time.

Watch with interest Gavin .... I've bought myself a printer and started experimenting. It's only a printer using thread so it's not the best quality straight off, compared to the more expensive ones at least. But will be great with some minor adjustments (might be me who need to learn more) but so far a bit of filling and sanding for certain kind of prints is necessary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janval Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I've unfortunately had to place my home office where i work on my projects, so I'm not sure I'll be able to do anything. Still, too busy as of now anyways.. No rest in sight so far. Looking forward to seeing your builds getting on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
