jcb4cxkid Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 cant wait to see this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDC Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 I tried to sit the Ceres body straight on the Celtis chassis but that wouldn't work, so i've cut both chassis's and joined the two together to make up the new rolling chassis.

pistol pete Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 i will get one of those in the future but if this goes to plan as much as your 7810 then you will have another great model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I've seen the odd one or two in dealerships, wern't they pushed in Australia? It's a great match of parts you have got yourself Paul. It's going to be a nice tractor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Looking great Paul. The Siku model looked awful but the machines themselves weren't that bad looking. Always looked better in Renault colours to my mind, the shape & cab design didn't fit at all with JD's family styling. We bought a Renault Ceres 85 new in 1995 [?] and it was a super little tractor, bit of a camel but very able. They were painted green as part of the reciprocal deal with Renault's use of the DPS engines in the then new Ceres & Ares ranges. Renault got the engines, Deere got a free tractor. I think Deere did better out of it though - they sold more engines to Renault than Renault sold tractors to Deere.... Fancy doing a [cough] Renault one for me in the future?
