Do cab boxes screens and auto steer brackets count as work shop projects

Or the Bodge Thread ?

Guess it Depends how sh1t a job you do

And whether your guidance system is just a piece of old bale string.


I started off making neat brackets and painting them. Then quickly made more brakets when the first ones turned out to be not right. Rusty and crude, they are the ones that are still doing the job.

They are still workshop projects. It's just a question of which workshop cult is going to claim you are a heathen.

Need to paint mine v happy with first attempt found a place to bolt on to with out damaging anything got both sprayer joystick and jd auto screen on the same bracket hidden cables fairly well with out taking the cab to bits. Will be able to remove with out trace. Not sure about jd screen bolted to the seat / arm rest as it's harder to Foccus on as it's moving about may get moved on just have to see.

I’m definitely in the heathen bracket from all 3 cults! Gave up making brackets years ago, everything is now on 1.5” ram mounts - even the mobile phone holders!

Any one fitted a jd auto track to a case magnum . It's all plastic around the steering wheel and the brackets jd sent with the steering pack are just not cutting it.

I would think you'll have to remove the shroud and bracket back to the column, then trim the shroud and refit it over the bracket

 

[Case290]

Ok yes took to bits going to do what you said bracket to be made to fit on column but looks like it will go on under the plastic part just lower the rubber shroud. Just needs a bit of time to get it right.

All done a lot better now

Have you had any problem with the steering collumn since you fitted the Autotrac?

Ive got a trimble Autopilot on a Magnum and it has recently started to have problems with the teeth on the bit that holds the collumn in place/tilt. It just keeps dropping down as your going allong. I assume its because of the extra weight of the steering motor?

 

[Case290]

Haven’t touched it since it was installed, so all good

 

[Longneck]

Ok thanks, It looks like you can get a service kit for the steering wheel tilt lock so i will look into that.

Cheers
