Nice work! I wonder if it will gather moth balls like ole Bud that I never did get to see pushing a plow. :D :cool:

Cool. I have to say since Hauler 10-4 finished his Ford, I've been wanting to build one too, but I don't know if I can pull it off as nice as you guys manage! These are neat models.

Freddy I like the fact you stayed true to 4WD, something lots of people sacrifice for room.

She works perfect! Tomorrow I'll do a vid of her pulling sometng I started to build tonight. I wanted something that pulls hard & covers a lot of area in a few passes.
Here's what I have so far.

Bought these discs awhile back from the Franklin mint co.
There all steel,the detail is unreal.
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...uckPics412.jpg
They work like the real deal.Can even adjust the cutting angle.
Just had to play in the dirt with her.

Looks great Freddy, nice video.

Re: FW-60.Workin Video!
 
Very cool. I want to build one for myself now! Thanks a lot! I really do think you need a chisel plow. Something that makes it lug a little. Those disks don't seem to load the tractor at all.

Re: FW-60.Workin Video!
 
Hey Freddy that is cool and coming from your truck stable of trucks :D
There's just one thing missing the lights it need to be lit up for some night action:D

Cheers Tracy
