Nice and clean Stu! How many pins are in those connectors?

Re: New Project!
 

Such a nice conversion, so much like the Blocher kit from Germany, very professional.

Re: New Project!
 

Thanks Kaptain, new video coming soon, just got to finish the wiring first:eek:

Thanks Nate, 6 pins in each, one socket is for the lights the other for attachments;)

Thanks Claus, I studied many pics of the Blocher kit before and during my conversion.

Cheers
Stu

Nearly there with the wiring,

A few more to solder then I can shoot another vid.

Re: New Project!
 

Nice and tidy. Good job on the electrical wiring. That's one thing that definitely pays off when you take your time to get it right. Looking forward to some more video!

Re: New Project!
 

I know what you mean, I hate messy wiring:eek:

Peeing it down today so managed to finish the wiring and shoot a quick indoor vid, been playing around with different engine sounds too, let me know what you think.

Re: New Project!
 

Wow, the machining is superb. Flawless!!

Re: New Project!
 

nice job - it's not uncommon for the big tractors to only have a towing eye. 3 point hitch is used for implements which need to be lifted, which is frequently not the case for the large ploughs and seed drills that require high towing forces. I'd be looking to get that tipping trailer to work first :D

Re: New Project!
 

Thanks ricm, I know what you mean but I still like the idea of a working hitch, must be a european thing:)

The trailer is on the to do list, I want to make a new ally chassis for it, need to get the tractor finished first though.

The rose joints, clevis's and brass arrived so found some time this week and cranked up the mill:

Thanks for lookin

Re: New Project!
 

Nice! Looking forward to seeing that 3 point hitch all finished up and on the tractor.

Re: New Project!
 

Rear Hitch is on

Took a bit longer than expected, got distracted working on another project:)

Re: New Project!
 

Awesome. I get distracted a lot too, Stu, but your 3 point hitch looks right at home on the back of the tractor. RC4WD Gelande? Those scale 4x4 trucks are a lot of fun!

Re: New Project!
 

Thanks Nate, need to make some implements now:eek:

yeah its a G2, had it for almost a year and yesterday was its first run out! Your right its great fun:D still got a lot I want to do to it though.

Stu

Re: New Project!
 

very talented i am impressed

Re: New Project!
 

Quite a few neat building techniques in this...... I really like the articulation detail. It looks to operate very well and with great scale appearance in the vid. Well done Stu!

Re: New Project!
 

Thanks guys

Got some paint on the wheels and Boris took his new ride for a spin:D

Re: New Project!
 

Looks great, and very much to scale with the painted wheels!

Re: New Project!
 

Getting better all the time!

Re: New Project!
 

Thanks guys, I know its been awhile (was working away from home most of the summer) but I have an update!

Made a dozer blade for the front:

Picked up a door strip from a job this week, going to rip it down for a cutting edge:

Started making a box to transport it in, this is the base:

Will try to shoot a vid at the weekend.

Re: New Project!
 

Finished the blade:

And fitted some flashing beacons:

I have also set one of the channels on the usm-rc2 to EKMFA and am controlling this with switches on the Taranis.
The Taranis is programmed to send a set number of pulses depending on which function you want on/off.

Re: New Project!
 

Wow this looks great, a job very well done, how heavy is it please??

:bounce::bounce:

Re: New Project!
 

Thank you, its around 5kg, pulls the trailer with digger on which is about 16kg all-up no problem although does get a bit of wheel spin on a steep and loose surface.

Stu

Re: New Project!
 

Time for an upgrade to the JD,
New electronics, a servonaut s22 for forwards/backwards and a servonaut mfx for the steering.
Also new wheels and tyres which at 350g heavier per wheel will add 1.4kg to the total weight of the tractor, will make some brass wheel weights later if it needs them...

Re: New Project!
 

Are the tires hollow? Add lead shot for lots of weight gain.

Re: New Project!
 

The tyres are solid which is where the extra weight comes from, I will try it with the added 1.4kg to start with then make some brass wheel weights later.

Re: New Project!
 

SUPER job! Keep us updated.

Re: New Project!
 

Hey Stuart, looking forward to the finished upgrade. They are never really completely done, are they? Would you mind sharing where you got those tires and wheels? I need some, but can't find'em on this side of the pond.

Thanks,

Rob

Re: New Project!
 

Thanks guys,

No Rob I don't think they are ever quite finished....
The tyres are from Trankl mine are the Michelin Axiob 900/60 soft version, they are very soft and should be grippy not sure if he ships to the US.
The wheels for them I bought from Anders Kolpen in Denmark who is a member on here, he made the mould for the tyres too and had Trankl make them, they now make/sell them in there shop.
The wheel centers I made myself as the ones Anders supplied are not suitable for mounting on the 9530, I actually bought the wheels/centers and tyres for a future project but decided the 9530 could use the upgrade.

Anyhow, its all back together and heres the pics along with my future project (hopefully!)
