So here goes, this is what its (hopefully!) going to be: Wait for it... A JD 9530 My Mum & Dad bought it me for xmas and said it was ok because it had Age 3+ on the box LOL! I was saving up for the MFZ Blocher kit http://mfz-blocher.de/jd_knicklenker_bilder_g.html for the conversion but blew the money on my Bridgeport mill instead so decided to give it ago by myself. This weekends work: I want to try and gain a little more ground clearance and replace the button heads with some counter sunk ones instead. Thanks for looking Stu |

That all looks like 1st class work Do you have any drawings? Also can you tell me where you bought the tyres and foams? Regards 5" |

No drawings, only sketches with dimensions of the parts I want to make. I am basing it on the MFZ Blocher kit, of which there are a few build threads on some German forums, with some very useful reference pics, along with my own design changes mainly to suit the materials to hand and my own limitations. Tyres came from here, took me ages to find!: Tyres with foams Got the other motor mount done: Thanks for looking Stu |

Re: New Project!
I'm watching this closely, as I am thinking of buying a MFZ blocher kit for a future project (probably in 6 months to a year).
Good work, and nice model choice. |

Re: New Project!
Haha! Yeah I guess I should have noticed how far the plate stuck out the back. The pivot won't be hard, just have a few drinks, grab your drill and start boring holes. Keep the updates coming!

Re: New Project!
It is so noce to see the centered gearboxes. It really hurts my eyes always to see these RB35 gearmotors. They are strong, but this looks so much better!!
Keep it coming! |

They are a bit longer than the RB35 ones so I have had to offset the wheel centers. I just hope they are upto the job! Stu |
