Tractorman810 Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 done it now, went 3 point all round, just need to source some replicagri top links to make it easier, used the newer wheels i had, exhaust is temp, pretty sure i have a straight pipe with top flap in the box. cant find decent decals anywhere at the mo either, located the extra steps needed for each side, cabs a mm or 2 low at present ,but easily sortable. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wheel arches of the 3690 are wider than the 3080. I think you used Fendt 514 tyres in the first pics. Those were 38 inches, not sure if they were 600 or 650 mm wide. 42 inches or 710/70R38 look better in my opinion. You might change the front wheels too for a bit chunkier ones and put the front arches higher. It makes the bonnet sit a bit higher. I think that would solve it.

Tractorman810 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I am happy with the height of the cab and bonnet, the side lights/indicators on the grab rails sit level with the top as per all the pics, i have another set of rears , bigger than the fendt 515 ones , but no fronts to match , these are of a fendt 818 i think , certainly a uh fendt at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 The more i think about it the more i recon i will extend them hugh , always knew they were to narrow , its just how you hide it i guess, properly like you or the black plastic extensions which would be less work. But they are far less common in the uk from looking at pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil phoenix Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) Funnily enough I past a 3670 in a roadside field with a set of discs on my way home. Hadn't seen it before, I think the small holder used to have a 3645 before which he had owned from new. Anyways it had 42 inch rears like seans model and standard looking tyres (20.8s probably) and definately standard fenders. Very few 3600s had wide fenders round here. So even modern day 650/65/ R42s which are pretty common on 180+ hp tractors would be too big for 3670/90s. Farmer Phil has been shooting lots of footage of his 3690 just lately with a good few videos of it, and its pretty standard spec, unlike Grassmens over the top version.

Tractorman810 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 would need a bit of time for that, prob a few test prints to check fitment readjust ect, doubt you would get them right first time so i think the plasticard and some filler will be a easier option , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Joe Its weird i have found that what looks right in cad , measurements wise ect doesn't always seem to fit right in reality once printed . Not sure if its my perception on cad ?? Or something weird in print / materials used and they shrink a bit or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I would do your first suggestion Sean, plasticard and a bit of filler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or something weird in print / materials used and they shrink a bit or something Just re-read my reply, I missed out " a go " , Yes I think there probably is a wee bit shrinkage, I'm working on a project just now that requires M3 bolt's to make it work properly, CAD the holes to 3mm then screw in the bolt's, go back a few hour's later to remove them only to find they are tighter than when I first screwed them in, ??

tomjh97 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Braemere Richard Western is nearly finished few more bits to add then I'll be happy. Replaced all the green steel wire with brass pins which is much better. My first sort of go with model building fairly satisfied but think I'm going to delve into brass and soldering as not really happy with the strength of this plastic type build. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish-model-farm Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I assembled and painted this wind pump kit from E-bay. Added styrene ladders, now I am adding some styrene pipework and eventually a storage tank and drinking trough. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
