Default New Hollland TJ480 RC

Well I started this project about 4 years ago. I finally have a little time on my hands to finish it.

Here it is stock








Disassemblied and ready for the R/C equipment







Installed some tamiya TLT axles







Installed the steering servo in the rear section





Next mounted a RC4WD transmission with a 55t motor





Connected the front driveshaft





Mounted a pivot and universial for the rear driveshaft







Rear driveshaft connected





And the completed tractor. Everything is tucked away nice and neat. I can lift the hood to access the battery and other electronics.








I plan in the future to get a set of RC4wd's matt tracks when they come out. It will be probably 4 years from now until i build a folding disc for it...lol. Here's a short video of her running.

Very cool! I remember when you first started this project. It turned out great. I like the big meats you have on there. Are those Imex Clodbuster tires? Looks like the gearing and speed is perfect.

That looks awesome. Very clean conversion. My son has a JD 9630 that I have thought of converting. Did you lock the diffs or are they open? I almost looks like you need some more weight.

The rear is locked and the front is open. Shot the video on a hard packed clay track. Next video i'll shoot in the florida sand and you'll see a big difference. Also might try proline's masher tires next.

Went to the hobby shop today and found a more scale looking tire. They are from a traxxas stempede and are the same height as the original stock tires were. I must say these tractors are a blast to run. Just need to build a implement soon though.

I really like that tire on there. You just need a big ripper or dirt pan behind it. What gearing are you using?

Great job on the NH conversion. What did you lock the diff. with and do you have any trouble with slippage on the rear diff>

Used JB weld on the diff and no slipage. Collecting parts now to build a folding disc. Hope to start on it next weekend if nothing pops up.

He's a perfect fit Jeremy, glad to see he worked out! Looks right at home up in the cab! Wished I'd looked that cool running a 4x4....never could pull off the Burt Reynolds look though, haha.
