Bruder Tractor RC conversion pt1 : dismantling

Part 1 of 3 videos showing how to convert the Bruder John Deere 5115M tractor to radio control using hobby grade components. I tried to keep the tractor as original looking as possible and use readily available inexpensive parts in the build.
Parts used for the build :
Bruder John Deere 5115M Tractor part number 09814 (with trailer 09816) www.brudertoys.com/en/usa/rang...
Tamiya gearbox (from tracked vehicle) www.amazon.co.uk/Tamiya-70108...
Hobbyking 15178B servo hobbyking.com/en_us/hobbyking...
10 A ESC like this www.banggood.com/10A-ESC-Brus...
The (now discontinued Orange GR300 receiver I used (can be found on ebay second hand) - shown here for dimensions hobbyking.com/en_us/orangerx-... I’m sure that other radio systems could be used if the receiver small enough
