Nice models Martyn , did the first 4wd 3CX'S have different front axles to later models because the hubs look different in brochures ?

Martyn, i just thought i'd volunteer my services in the name of quality control. If you would be so kind as to send me a sitemaster, i'll keep it on my desk beside the monitor and report back everytime someone makes a comment about it, Honest...... :bow:
there are old fitters and bold fitters but no old bold fitters...

Hi there, just joined CMN, another fantastic model Martyn :) . Am incredibly jealous of all you folks who've driven these fantastic machines. My earliest memories are of the 3c Mk2 from my childhood in the seventies. Have been behind the wheel a couple of times when my father-in-law did a self-build a couple of years ago. Last year did a couple of hours in the latest 3cx contractor at Diggerland and am now seriously thinking of getting trained up properly and changing career. Anyway have to go now. Speak soon. Andy :wave:
