John Deere Model 30 combine pictures

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the forum and I posted this in the implement ally area previously. If a moderator would like to remove the other post, please do.

I'm a 3D modeler that enjoys creating tractors and implements for a farming simulator. Currently I'm working on a John Deere Model 30 combine.
Below are some images of the model at it's current progress. I have scoured the internet collecting photos of this combine and watching videos, but there is one area in particular that I can't seem to get any good images of. The area I can't see is what appears to be a gearbox that the PTO powers for the operation of the combine. The area is circled in yellow on the 2nd image. I am hoping someone on this forum has one of these combines and would be willing to take or share images of it with me to use on my project. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks Ozarker that does help me. It's the best I have so far to help me get an idea of what that gear box (or whatever it is) looks like and functions. I could still use a close up though if anyone has one. :)
 
Thank you so much for those images Rod. They are absolutely perfect! I usually take pictures myself of the equipment I want to model but this combine is not easy to find. I don't know what else to say but Thanks again. :D
 
(quoted from post at 14:42:08 02/25/15) Be sure to post some pictures of your model when it's finished. We'd love to see them.

Absolutely! I will put together a video of it operating in the simulator when it's complete and post it for you all.
I'm very happy with the response I have received here. I hope I can continue to find help here with future projects.
:)

In the mean time feel free to see some of my other mods at my YouTube page. Search YouTube for KaosKniteFMC if you are interested.
 
Pretty neat. What software do you use for modeling? I'm in Tool Design at my place of employment and we use Solidworks 2014 3D CAD. Sometimes it can be a little aggravating, but for the most part I really like it.
Technology is an awesome thing! Great Looking Combine.

Thanks Scott, I'm using Maya 2013 for this combine, but I have also used Lightwave 3D, 3D Studio Max and Blender. Blender is a freeware program that is actually quite good. You should check it out. I've been modding for the Farming Simulator since 2010.

Thanks Rod for the additional pictures you sent me of the pulleys, gears and cutter bar mechanism. I don't know how to express how grateful I am. Your photos are absolutely perfect and you have made my project a dream to do. Thank you for taking time to shoot those images and send them to me. They will make all the difference.

Here is an update since my first post if anyone would like to see it. I still have a lot to make but it's going faster now that I know what I am making :D

3D,

If you ever want to do a model 42 pull type combine I have about a
hundred pictures of one that we did. It was over a three year project
and I took a lot just to know how to put it back together again.
These are just a sample.

Sure would like to see a John Deere 95 Combine for FS13 or FS14. With the game being English made, there is a shortage of good vintage US tractors and equipment. Keep up the good work 3DSculptor.

Thanks Tom, that's really cool to see all the parts. If I ever do a 42 I'll post on here again. For now I have my hands full finishing this mod.

Thanks mb58. For FS13 there is a "small farming pack" I made for small tractors with or without 3 point hitch. There is no combine in that pack but the new FS15 version of Small Farm Pack will have the JD 30 I'm working on now. Once scripts are released and all testing is complete, I'll post it. BTW the FS is made in Germany :wink:


just happened upon this one

I pretty much despise video games but that's pretty darn cool. Nice job!

Hi DLMKA thanks for the compliment. It's ok if you despise video games. This is a simulator like flying simulator only for farming. It called Farming Simulator 2015.
