Avadexer build.....my way

I was pretty thorough at not cutting wrong ones.
But I guess time will tell.
Need to refab a pannel to replace it now

I’m sure you will make a good job of it.

My little brain is bursting with ideas…

…… it’s just the lack of talent that lets it down!

Are you watching this @Shovelhands?

He’s a superb, self taught engineer Dave.

Couldn’t you have re-purposed the switches??! Even if they just powered b*stard lights then you only have the screen to get rid of and I’m sure you would find a TX owner who would look after it for you…wink wink

 

[4755dave]

Already sold to one I'm.afraid.
The switches are fixed to circuit boards. No ta

I went soil sampling on a big farm near here once. The tractor driver had just had a newish SP sprayer.

I got in the cab for a look and asked him what all the switches do.

He said “f**ked if I know mate, I just use the on/off switch!”

New control console. NH back plate and bit of old cab trim.....
Hmmmmmm

I may be some time

Tah dahhh

More flappy wheel action will be required post welding

@4755dave
Not sure if it’s of interest, but there is a Lite track for sale up this way. It did have a spreader body on it, but just a bare chassis and cab now. On Michelin 710’s.

 

[4755dave]

I've seen that..
Not for me

Looking good what Tony should have done buy an off the shelf cab rather than make / have his own made

 

[4755dave]

Original was made by Arden cabs I think?

From memory Tony made a couple then yes Arden made them to his design similar to the old mb trac design in style and then the front window grew to a full top to bottom window. Some of the latter ones were stainless

Stainless cabs on fertiliser machines...

Just a little crude and rough round the edges!

Yeah can argue with that.
A better 4 ws system is next on list

We put the system of a Frazier Agribuggy which worked a treat, a new steering valve and the Frazier control box but this was 20 yrs ago and a new proportional steering angle sensor on each axle. Bet bet talk to the sprayer manufacturers and see what that can do to help. Problem will be finding one with the steering controller independent and not embedded in the main machine controller.
