List of features:


Independent link suspension frontaxle (almost)
PTO drive
3 speed gearbox
Diff lock on rearaxle

I already did some printing for the new tires


These are Michelin 650/60R34 tires


I hope to be able to cast some rubber tires... though I would hate the trial & error process.... :(

Thank you all ;)


A little progress on the Johnny.

I've been working on the front axle and came up with a good solution to replicate the movement of the 'Independent link suspension'.

Also attached is the draft for the front...

Very interesting project!

[frizzen]

Wow, that's some amazing work! I love how those gearboxes and steering components came out.

I wonder what happened to kolpen?

[agriRC]

This is just beautiful. Wish I had the metal work skills!
