John Deere 6506

[Joe S]

My new toy/ project arrived last night.
She is driving like a dream everything seems smooth and tight credit too it’s former owner @Coquet Nook Mans Land

First job is to sort the only problem I’ve found and that’s the breaks, fingers crossed it just needs bled.

Plans for it are

All the maintenance stuff
Second set of wheels so we have a narrow and wide set
Passenger seat, I’ll be In trouble if I don’t
New wings
Probably new plastic bits of the wings too there slightly cracked
Will be getting painted
all the plastic bits tcut and cleaned up so they don’t let the fresh paint down
Get the radio working
Might do led lights
Interior will hopefully just clean looks like it will
Air seat
Source a loader
Might put a turbo on too...because ya know I can[emoji85]

Don’t expect regular updates it will be done as and when time and finances let it happen

As it looks now

No its the 6.8 as used in the 6800,6900,6510,6610,6810 and 6910

Just needs a TURBO
