Recently finished up a Magnum 235 for my collection to match the real tractor we bought this year. It was my first try filling a hood seam and about 4 paint jobs later I'm pleased with the results. I went all out on this one with help from Tractor Fab for the steps and front weights. I completely cut out the Ertl steps and pieced in the Tractor Fab steps one by one. Added steering front axle, free moving three point and cut out the Ertl drawbar and replaced it. Added all lights and flasher beacons and even put a little detail in the cab, including the monitor mounting bar. Daryl's tires fit perfectly on Ertl rear rims, front rims are his. Glad to get my workbench clear for awhile since my 2nd son is due to come any day now.

Thanks for looking.

Chris I used round lights from moores and put them on the dremel to shape them oval for the HID look. I love the tractor fab steps and weights. Ertl front weights are horrible.

For the hood I grinded the seam with dremel to make a channel then fill with jb weld. Sand with about a 150 grit then 200 to finish. Prime and paint and tape off the cab very carefully.
