INTERNATIONAL 5600i tractor
Base Model: CONRAD 5600i tractor
Scale: 1:50
Here is my custom made extended wheel base INTERNATIONAL 5600i tractor
I really like the Conrad 5600i but I wanted a longer one like most of the
ones near where I live look like so all I did was take a standard Conrad
one cut it in half and extend the main frame
I added a Tonkin headach rack with chains as wheel as a custom light bar
I re-used the same steps and catwalk but created a new drive shaft below
I painted the cab in a metallic grey finish and the frame in flat black

Here's a good comparison shot to show the difference in what I did,
the one beside my lengthend 5600i is the standard Conrad 5600i
The tractor works great pulling the new Nelson trailers...
...especialling with a load...
...also works great with the standard talbert lowboy...
...shown here with a CAT 325CL...
...even works great for pulling special loads like this...
...as well as dump trailers...
...or of corse your standard trailers like this flatbed!
