Fenside MF Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I bought this model a while ago and thought it was ideal to be made in to a jaguar of some kind. All I have done so far is repaint it,add an exhaust and put a rear tow hitch on. Now I need some advice as to what maize and grass heads to fit either the norscot 2 or paint a siku jd into claas colours which looks hard.

Fenside MF Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Thanks Will this is a slow ongoing job at the moment Right,my norscot header had arrived when I got home from work so I set about making it in to a pu 300. Thanks to jez for his topic on making one a while back as I pinched his idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich.new holland Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 nice mate but the augar is a bit off \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenside MF Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Thanks for the kind comments. nice mate but the augar is a bit off \ Thanks rich,ahh yes I only cut one side of it as I thought that cutting it in half and having it in two pieces would make it a structurally weak but it could be done in two bits I spose Just looked at jez's and his augar is in one bit so mine is wrong ahh well could be changed.

Thanks Luke,I don't know what it will be decaled up as because I havent aasked fm yet on what he can do on the decals Turning this old rubbish is turning out nearly as exspensive as buying a new jag 960 as I have also bought another two headers to go on it but I am enjoying making it.

Fenside MF Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hows it coming along Jamie? Been searching around for maize headers and have found out the norscot one has been discontinued. So I decided to order from siku direct last friday and get the orbis 600,fendt combine header for painting in to claas colours and a trailer for it as well. They only turned up today so will make a start on making a plate for them to slot on to at the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenside MF Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 I've been plodding along with this a bit. First of all cut the back part of the original small combine header which fits on the model and then cut a plastruct sheet and made holes to allow the siku headers to fit. Pics should explain better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenside MF Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 Once the siku maize head was on in transport position it was tipping the rear wheels off the floor so it needed ballast on the rear end so I cut up some lead and stuck in the chassis with silicone. I'm also going to make some rear trays for some resin barrels to help as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenside MF Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 Just a bit more detail to do on the rear end and maybe do a wheel change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I think some Siku Fendt combine wheels would look ideal. They are red too. Speak to some of the conversionists on here for beacons, or if not there are certain webisites which I can only tell you about via Pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
