james f Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Definitely break it up, I got an unboxed one as a present along with the tractor that drives it (large rigid-frame Case IH four-wheel-drive) and have pulled it apart to make something better out of it. I plan to use the same chassis but with the front lopped off and the body lowered to make it more realistic, plus a new set of tipping rams. The trouble with the original tipping mechanism is that the gears inside are too fragile and tend to split and then spin on the hexagonal shafts allowing it to tip up but not down or vice-versa. In short, you did the right thing in chopping it. I like Sean's idea of doing a scratch built chassis for it because the original is not easy to work with.
