fendt-man-matty Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 well to take my mind off things (and this has worked well for clearing my head) i thought would put my old blue britains bale trailer to use.... sorry fogot to take a pic of it before, it's the bale trailer with an axel at each end of the body and had a realy bad draw bar \ first i moved the axels togther and moved the rear one up a bit.. then i shaped the end of the body down, then made the drawbar, i know the drawbar is too long but i'm going to shorten it later or tomorrow \ still have to make ramps well what you guys think, and another thing is, what colours or type of trailer should i make it into, the choices are, JD colours, leave it the same colour and make it a kane, or fraser but the fraser green will be dark \ i think either JD colours or leave it and make it kane \ what you's think of it?

fendt-man-matty Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 jd green bed and yellow wheels with NC stickers now there's an idea, i think JD colours would be best because i dont want have to buy kane blue or proper fraser green unlike my disasterous fraser green this is so weird i was thinking of doing a coversion on exaccly the same trailer :D looking good though ;) well i beat you to it ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fendt-man-matty Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 i think she looks well cheers rab thanks CJ. that was actualy the picture i was looking at to keep me right, here wait, ive just come up with an idea, do you reakon JDyellow is the same as the kane yellow, because i could just spray it JD yellow and that would save me a lot of bother, plus i have a spare kane sticker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 kane use a paint similar to jcb yellow for dumpers and lowloaders and paint similar to ford blue for silage trailers, if i was you i would do an NC ive never seen one yet in 1;32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fendt-man-matty Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 oh right thats good to know. NC is tempting but i would prefer kane \ decisions :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fendt-man-matty Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 i made ramp brackets she's primed and now waiting to dry to add yellow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fendt-man-matty Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 got her all sprayed up and i think she's looking well \ it's a very basic kane trailer, e.g no hydraulic ramps and is'nt that big, just a basic low loader \ thats all i wanted it's now finished apart from painting and wheels and adding the kane decal and rear lights \ but please feel free to comment on this...

Tractorman810 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 very nice mate any plans for the light cords ect on it to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fendt-man-matty Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 very nice mate any plans for the light cords ect on it to o yes, well i would only have to fit a very thin wire for the lights and i didnt think there was much point in making a big tube coming off the drawbar just for a tiny cable \ i might think of doing a thicker sort of curly wire coming from under the body \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 sounds good, most are that flexi stuff anyway for lights, telephone wire works well for that, i have loads in many different colours pm if you want some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
