JOHN DEERE 9R - 42157 ALTERNATE BUILD

[Dyen]

Hello everyone, I wanna introduce you my new my new alternate build from the Lego set 42157. I rebuild original Forest Skidder into this John Deere 9R. You can easilly attach the front blade with parallel lift which you can operate by pneumatic controls. 

This model has:

• Working In-line six cylinder piston engine
• Steering knob behind the cabin
• Openable doors
• Openable hood
• Authentic rear three-point hitch
• Working PTO (Power Take Off) when driving 
• Pneumatic pump to control the front blade
• Control levers on the side
• Front pendular suspension
• You can add dual wheels - does not affect the steering, wheels are not touching ( TESTED IT! )

Much better than Lego version year ago; perhaps hood should be more sloped...

They're built to two different scales, so I'm not sure they can be compared.

Anyway, nice job @Dyen! TLG should hire you.

My point was that that should be done year ago

Great job again @Dyen and you are becoming a master of the alternative build. I like all the attachment opportunities this provides, so I hope to see some fun trailers/implements for this.

Thank you very much :)

I love the 8 wheel version! What did you use to connect the additional wheels?

I used only a longer axles, but make it more stable it is good to use the solution like in the Tumbler set 76240
