jakescot Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 just a thought from my simple brain Reading above, Gav and DT make resin wheels...........anybody thought of making resin copies of the vanto trailer wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Mmmmm..... try again...... I used the tims toys trellebergs on my marston variants. Don't forget to reinforce the joint in that chassis as the plastic RC2 use does not bond together very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDH Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 the yellow centers are 28mm x 11mm rubber resin tyres and white metal centers the grey wheels are off the siku brantner trailer 35mm x 15mm, probally to big for this trailer They are both nice sets Dan. What are the yellow hubbed ones from? Did you get the two sets off a model or were you able to buy just the wheels/tyres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 yellow ones look good, where from dan as for the vantos, i wish somebody would cast them, they make great older small trailer wheels, hubs are right the lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDFord Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 Mmmmmm lots of suggestions since I was last logged on yesterday, pity I've gone and painted the original wheels since then Just have to see if something suitable crops up in the meantime, like I said, I dont want flotations, but will have to check out these vanto trailer wheels. I've made a grain shute anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I'm not sure Mark but I have the wheels off the new Siku front tyre packer in mind for a trailer build... It's due out next month and should be good value for parts, I think it's 6 or 8 wheels / tyres and a front linkage... Visually they're similar to the UH Kuhn MoCo wheels - which I think are the same as the Vanto I reckon they're pretty close on to the size fitted on our 8t mono and the back of our combine but I'll not be sure until I pick one up.

Deere-est Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 That drawbar alone looks tip top spanky Mark. How did you make that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 Thank you Jez, b_m and Tris The drawbar Mr F, is a bit of 10mm keysteel that saw a quick bit of action in a milling machine, and a fair bit of filing this evening using a 6" flat and some needle files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
