  1. I went through all the posts and can't find either the pictures or who to ask for them. Can someone fill me in? Thank you.
  2. Able to pick up 42070 for $195 and 42069 for $137 last night. Thanks for the tip! I wasn't going to get them, but at that discount I couldn't say no. Glenn
  3. The hitch is a simple design. Used pins with stops for easy removal. Glenn
  4. My mods are low for now, but looking for inspiration. Black Claas Xerion 5000: With B model silage plow: Also, I ran a pneumatic hose through the chassis, so I can add a pump on 1 side, and an attachment on the other: My first attachment, a disc with fold able sides and lowering transport wheels: I was going to have a pto driven pump, but the stock pto rotates too slow. Plus, did not want to run pto driven attachments and the pump at the same time. Glenn
  5. There was my problem. I was using the ones with the "x". Thank you.
  6. How did you get the wheel hubs to attach? Very nice model by the way. Glenn

  8. Just wanted to say I received my stickers last week and finally had the chance to put them on. What a difference! Thanks again. Glenn
  9. Thanks! I wanted to make something where the controls were where they go in real life, not just in the base like most sets.

  12. It's for if you add power functions. It holds the 2x2 plate halfway on the light wires.
  13. I couldn't agree more. If instructions were harder, they would be able to print the b model instructions and still use less paper and ink. If anything, people say kids are smarter today than before, so instructions should match this.
  14. Took my time building this 2 sets of numbered bags a day. Each day I felt like I finished a model. I became awe struck when I built the bucket wheel and arm. That's when it hit me how massive this set really is. If you are having doubts about buying it, this is a must have for all technic fans! As of now I'm having no issues with the performance of the bwe. Glenn

    After finishing building this set, I'm so happy Lego came out with the manual pump again! I put a bunch of 1x1 bricks in a cereal bowl, and I can unload the bowl into the Arocs bed faster with the Volvo than with the Arocs. Now just to find some 1x2 slopes to finish off the looks on the arms, and possibly make a design for a cupping bucket.
