Re: My scalish tractor build
Can't wait to see some pics Paul. Early on it did have some thin alum side plates but I wasn't happy with the stiffness or shape. I switched to the plastic to be able to shape it better. What transmission do you have planned for it. I thought about a 3speed, but never had any luck getting one on ebay.

Re: My scalish tractor build
Well I broke my camera here about 4 weeks ago and I have picks of my 2 other builds on the hard drive of the camera so I have no way of downloading them as I mess up the USB port on it so I am now running on a barrowed camera till my other one comes back in I am hoping next week.
So since I ran out of parts for a semi I am building for a friend till Freddy gets them to me and I ran out of Alum angle for a trailer I am building I thought I would try to salvage the night by working on the tractor so here is what I have.. So tonight I made new chassis side plates out of 1/8 inch alum sheet cut them, drilled them and sanded them and mounted them up.. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/002-13.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...wboy/001-9.jpg Then I did a little to the hood and the seat and fender section by buzzing them down with my palm DA and I filled the missing piece in the right side of the hood and put it in K1 primer just so I could see what work I have to do later. I also made a 1/4 inch removable chrome stack too.. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/003-14.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/005-13.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/004-14.jpg So that will be it for a bit I'll be working on Ace's trailer and Ed's body tomorrow again.. |

Re: My scalish tractor build
Ok finally I am working on this tractor to get it finished up. I have installed a R2 tranny and a 65 turn motor and a 10 tooth pinon gear so it is pretty slow and got lots of tork running a 11.1 Lipo.
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...cks/002-20.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...cks/001-17.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...cks/003-20.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...cks/004-16.jpg Also started on the body work and Ill start on a weight rack or rock box not sure for the front of the tractor.. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...cks/005-14.jpg But now I need some input on what you guys think this tractor looks like?? I has the look of a few brands like a Oliver/IH and Minni just not sure witch way to go so lets have some input.. |
Re: My scalish tractor build
I see a minni or an oliver nice build clean and simple no matter what you make it it is cool

Re: My scalish tractor build
tractor is looking great Paul. Glad to see it on the bench again. Can't wait to see it finished.

Re: My scalish tractor build
Looks nice, Paul. From the side, it looks a lot like an Allis 8010, but the grille would have to be changed on the front end.
Is this going to be a pulling tractor, or a field tractor? |

Re: My scalish tractor build
Well finally got going on finishing this up I was trying to have it done for a big tractor show I was going to go to and just drive it around and pull my beer in in a little wagon but I was not able to finish it before last weekend but I got it pretty much done this weekend..So I decieded it looked closet to a 1850 Oliver and I'm a big old school Oliver fan so first things first off to the paint shop...
Frame and body.. Old school Oliver Green http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...829_212405.jpg Wheels and ect.. Old school Oliver mint white. Bad Pic Sorry http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...829_212418.jpg Ok so 24hrs later assembly.. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy023/013.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy023/018.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy023/020.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy023/017.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy023/015.jpg Ok so I made the decals on my computer they came out pretty good as I had to rescale them to fit my size. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy023/016.jpg So all the guts are in the top of the hood I have it running on 11.1 Lipo plenty of power for sure.. Few other things I did if you look I filled all the holes in the traxxas front wheel to look more right and I also covered the holes in the back wheels with 1" washers I made wheel weights out of I think they look great.. I still have to finish the cab up.. Seat and dash and steering wheel along with lights and a hitch so more to come soon.. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy023/019.jpg |
