PDC Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 It's an original ERTL 3140 he's added a 4020 front axle and glazed the cab etc I think he spent days rather than hours on it :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow legs Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Very fine looking jd's. I have had a jd 3040 2wd customised by a fellow modifier to exact photos of my real life tractor i use for contract flailmowing. The base unit is a ertl 3350 with the mud guards cut down then re styled with plaststrut, a 2wd front axle fitted off a 4020 and rear wheels off a britains 6290, then mirrors lights, hand rails, fuel/ water caps, c.b ariels and flashing beacons ect and then a final paint jod to match, mine has an SG2 cab so that stayed much the same apart from colour changes on the lower door. The end product is really good, so good infact i ordered a MF 2640 2wd to the same spec as the one my dad used to drive! No photo to post as yet as i havent worked out to place it with digi camera.
