DustyK Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Joe, That looks sweet. I have been looking to good tires to do the same. Can you tell me which ones you used? Does anyone have any pictures of one with front weights instead of the front mounted 3pt? I would like to convert this tractor to an American model and redo the rear with american 3pt and drawbar. Thanks for the info and job well done Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fendt 936 Driver Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I just bught my one today in Zwolle, Iam a little bit sad if Iam looking at the bonnet. Do your 8690 have a blain on the bonnet too? On the lights in front of my bonnet is golden color too... looks a little.... strange Thanks to UH to ruin such a beuatiful Tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipher172 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 i have bought one of these, does any else think the wheels look a little small? i am going to try the wheels off the wiking 936 when i get chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fendt 936 Driver Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Use the Siku 936 wheels, they are looking very smart on it... A massey driver from Siku, a Easy Mass front weight from France and you have a really nice model. (just like me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
