Farmall 1206 -- ertl big farm conversion

[jnorth]

here is the start of my Farmall. it is and are tell big farm series so it is plastic a little bit easier to work with with the tools I have. this is my first conversion I am also doing a Bruder d5. I already had the to Tamiya gearbox so I figured I'd give it a try I know gearmotors are the preferred driveline.I am working on the front end and hope to have it together soon. let me know what you think. thanks for looking.

Looks like a great start. To me, ag tractors are tough just due to such limited space for components. Keep up the good work.

Yes very little room I've got a tiny esc and servo the only thing I'm not sure about is the battery. I've got about as much space as 2 aa batterys would take but I want to put more power that for sure.

Got most of the front axle done still a lot of clean up to do. spindles are next.
