fendt-man-matty Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 ok well first of all i want to say dont give me any credit for this because it was CJ's idea in the first place, in a way i am copying him but i like the way he put his together and i realy liked it so i thought instead of buying a merlo multifarmer, i thought the JD was too good to be replaced so i thought i would keep it but have it the way i want it \ CJ is it alright if i do the same as you?? but mine wont have the silver bit on the loader and it wont be for siku attachments. pics up in a minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDC Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 i dont mind at all i copied pdc with his 6420 anyway but thats what this place is about sharing ideas and i would use screws :D :D :D :D If I was worried about people copying I wouldn't post on here in the first place ;) The thing with the farmtoy collecting hobby is that people always want something a little different, people like myself are aways exploring what can be done with whats available. For me the 'fun' is the working out how to do it, then when you've done 5 or 6 you've really got the job sussed, thing is if like me you are not looking to make a living from it then after 5 or 6 i'm bored, that's why i'm happy to share my ideas on here. I think it's good to let other people have a go and be proud of what they've done. Now if I can make a couple of quid from selling the decals etc i'm happy ;) When attempting your first conversions just remember i've been doing this a long while and have a lot of good tools i've picked up along the way, so don't be supprised if your first one doesn't look like mine :D I hope that doesn't make me sound like a real a*se : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
