PLEASE READ AND COMMENT

Ok for those of you that dont know, this project started I started with this...

This...

And this...

I stripped the 4710, ground off the hood and cab mount, and sandblasted it. I also added a wooded cab platform and paper clip handrails.

After attaching the boom and tank, as well as a coat of primer and paint, I applied the wheels and axles

A picture of the detail paint I did on the interior

The original decals were re-applied as well as the cab and some detail paint, my last progress pic

PLEASE NOTE THE BOOM SHOWN IN THE FINAL PICS IS A TEMPORARY NON-FOLDING BOOM!
My good friend Chris Taylor (cdtdeere4650) is doing the correct, working, folding boom. I thank him for that! I will have some updated pics when I get the correct boom so hang in there folks!

Shaded Oak Farms plans to buy this sprayer, so we got some good pics of the previous owner putting on some late pre emergents last Spring

Enough Talking pics!

Any questions just ask! Thank you for looking!

Thanks guys it means alot! It truly does! I was hoping that people would like it, I worked pretty hard on it. I am also suprised it has gotten more attention over here than it has on TTT, I guess those guys are just too hard to please

That's why I kinda stopped posting over yonder. Trey

lady: Hello! I don't know if anyone would be able to help me out or not, but I am looking for a John Deere 1/64 Scale 714 Chisel Plow 15 Shank. We are Hog Farmers, and this fall was our middle son's 1st Year chisel plowing with that particular implement! Dec 8, 2016 8:25:20 GMT -5

jmsales: Hello, we are interested in the 1/64 New Holland bale mover, does someone make these if so can they be purchased. Apr 22, 2017 19:55:22 GMT -5

mmccann: I’m looking for a small (5-6 inches long) “matchbox” size-ish welder truck painted red. My wife’s father died last year and his occupation was welder. He always drove red trucks. Could you make one and have it to be by Christmas? Nov 24, 2018 12:52:05 GMT -5
