Re: Best location to add oil filter?
I would think that you would want to put the filter in a location so that the oil going out to the system from the pump is clean. That way you are using the cleanest oil possible. If you filter the...

Yup, they are 71mm, they are cheap, and they look good. I wasn't sure about the size, but I ordered enough of them to do the truck. When they arrived I thought that they looked great...

Re: Tires for conversions
We must. I'm pretty sure it's not the high pay, or the wild women, that keeps us coming back for more.

Re: Tires for conversions
Blame it on an obviously miss-spent youth, hanging around with the "wrong" type of people.

Re: Tires for conversions
Here's another option for tires for conversions - roll your own. If you've got a 3D printer it's simpler, cheaper, and faster than it sounds. I'm including 3 links to YouTube videos.

Re: 3D Filament color match to Bruder
OKEEY-DOKEE, the Matterhackers spool of red arrived today, it's Pantone 3546 C. It's a nice red, but it's not really a close match. It's too something, bright might be the best word. It's more of...

Re: 3D Filament color match to Bruder
Been a while since I updated this thread.
Matterhackers was a no on the samples. They did recently list a Pantone red that MIGHT be close, I pulled the trigger on a spool of that color. There's...

Re: Cat Ride On Conversion
If you do decide to do any conversions, just be sure that you don't do anything irreversible.
I've never seen one like this before. I've seen some kid powered diggers in parks/playgrounds, but...

Oh that's a definite keeper as is, with or without the original sound module. I have never seen anything like it.
Looks like it's even got a latch for locking the boom in the up position for...

I don't know about anybody else, but I can't see any pictures. You need to use a third-party to host your picture files, then link to them. How did you try posting the pictures?

Tamiya gearboxes
There have been several Bruder conversions that have used the Tamiya gearboxes, by SmallHaul and others. I was just wondering how these gearboxes have stood up to the test of time.

Re: Cockshutt 70 tractor (1935-48)
Yup, no rocket science to it at all. They're just a place to park your butt and your feet. All you need is a basic frame to keep the butt, foot and back boards from sliding around on the wagon...
