That's pretty nice. I hope that Ertl comes out with a Desert Sand 1070 like the one my grandpa used to have.

Looks Great! Grandpa has a 870 and i love to drive/ride in it! Beautiful tractors I hope that Ertl comes out with a Desert Sand 1070 like the one my grandpa used to have. I agree, that would be pretty cool.

That turned out really neat. I was hoping Ertl would produce a 1070 in the new series. We farm with two; one open station and one with a cab. It would also be neat to make a Black Knight. I have the 1/16th 1070 Black Knight (new casting) and the 1/64th version would compliment it well. Did you have to do much adjusting to get the cab to fit? I believe the pre-cleaner should be behind the muffler (towards the cab). Thanks for sharing your project.

I had to take the dremel tool and cut out where the rivet was under the seat of the older frame to have the new cab sit flush, had to cut out part of the floor, grind part off the front of the cab to fit around the hood more, and had to grind off where the rivets were on the new cab. You're correct on the air cleaner. On the newer agriking it was towards the front, that could have been just a deal for the 1570's. I don't know much bout Case.........I'm a Deere guy but was Case like Deere and switched the air cleaner around in the early to late models?
I think it would be great if Ertl did come out with a 870 -1175 set. You know it wouldn't be a box set it'd be another chopper set, or manure spreader and would have to buy each set to get the series. It wouldn't be that hard either for the castings it'd be like the 1270 1370 and 1570 just be all the same casting. A black knight would be sweet but would Ertl really do such a paint job?

I agree, that would be pretty cool. I like driving grandpa's 1030(in my avatar). Someday I want do do a replica of it, with the cab and weights.

That turned out nice. I ran a 1070 for a neighbor when I was a kid. It was a nice shifting and riding tractor. The disk he pulled was a little big for it though. Made it grunt a little.
