mb86 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Brilliant work there Sean. This is one of my favourite diorama threads, even though the tractors are the wrong colour! The petite tipper looks a cracker too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Looks lovely Sean! Can I ask, how do you make the duals stuck to the inner wheels? Does the turning and locking mechanism work as real life? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 That looks awesome Sean. My question, as usual relates to the wheels. Would 38s not have been more common on the 699 instead of 34s? they would have been Stan, but we ran all our mf's on the same rears, we had a pretty sorry very flinty soil, as I am sure gav would testify, and neils if he's done ploughing on the Suffolk soil as he goes not to far away from where we farmed , and we had a good few punctures, so we usually had at least 2 full rear wheels sat spare, to save us time ,we could put them on any of the 600's ,the 1250 or even the 290,that had a different hub, but same wheel size, then get the puncture fixed as and when , only thing that held us up puncture was the fronts, the 290 and 690 was easy, same sizes 2wd rims, the 698t and 699 were different, but 75% of the time it was the rears that went , 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the turning and locking mechanism work as real life?ah well that's a pretty simple job, all the uh's run with a steel axel, so I make the new cage or duals with a magnet in the centre , its only 4mm across and 3mm thick, but strong enough to grip through the plastic to the axel ,it sits inside the wheel nts, in the grey centres effectively ,I am going to try a set of narrow row wheels and a modified standard set using the same system on a wiking jd I have, so I can just pull off and swap them as required , best bit is they cost me 3 quid for about 30 of them so cheap to use to, will dig out a link and post it when I get time and a picture of the rears on them so you can see 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The petite tipper looks a cracker too. thanks, I have had the pettit a while now, all the sides drop as per a real one, and the grain top comes off to , all be it in one piece as it couldn't get it in sections , hardest bit was finding timber the right size for the planks with the right effect/finish on it, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 that's what I use joe , Neodymium magnets , never had them shatter when they bang together though, always playing with the stack of 50 odd I have while waiting for glue to set or similar :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Ah,some of the ones I have are only 7mm x 0.5mm and they just disintegrate, the instructions tell you to put card between them to stop them shattering, Regards Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they three oaks built? I hope you get a few pics of your machinery in action this harvest as it is similar kit to what was and still is used in this area.

Thanks a lot. Often the best ideas are the most simple ones! If I had only know fifteen years ago. When I was playing with tractors for duals I used to use some elastic bands or putty to put them together. Should have gone for magnets. Ah well.. Do you know if you can still get those cage wheel kits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 not sure on the cage wheels neils, certainly not seen them on ebay again, as I wouldn't mind another set, and I cant remember who it was selling them right now either. I know it was a german guy though ,he did 2 different sizes, these and a bigger diameter set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess being that thin it wouldn't take much to break them, but they are very strong for their size, there must be 4 or 5 mm of plastic between the axel rod and them and they hold fine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it was a german guy though ,he did 2 different sizes, these and a bigger diameter set I see, there are a few Germans that have online stores with CNC or 3D printed parts. Might be one of them.

Tractorman810 Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 its all uh mate, its an extended uh 690 bonnet ,with the cab and floor pan, all mounted on a broken uh 3080 chassis I had it gave me the extra 10mm in length to get the length over the 698t, we ran a swb version of that , I bought a weise toys 1014 to break but it just looked to big to me against the other 2 I had already, and coupled with the rear wheel difference it worked better for me really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
