The tools that I have are: Metal cutting bench top bandsaw, bench top drill press, various sanders and a good set of files. I do have a rotary table 4" that I used to mill the od of the center section. First time I used a rotary table.:cool: The setup was a pain, but it worked in the end. |

Had some time today, first I resized the axles. :cool: easier then I thought it would be. I cut the axles and used a coupling to extend them. Tied the coupling to the axles with 4-40 set screws. The coupling is 5/16 diameter :eek: I had to drill out the inside of the axle tube to 3/8 for clearence. Was sucessfull on the first try :cool:
Just couldn't resist putting the axle in position. I used some temp wood dowels to align the axle to the axle support beam. Then I made the exterior attachment point. I must say I am pleased with the results. So I wanted to see what it would look like with a wheel and tire on the end. I used an rc4wd 1.55 rock crusher tire(?) with a 3.5 inch dia. This just inspired me to continue with more drooling. Thanks for looking. |

Made up another drive axle, still do not know what I will come up with for the input / output pinion covers. I need to make up the steering axles next.
Thanks for looking |
Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
DUDE! this build is freaking sick! love the aluminum work! keep it up!

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
Thanks Zach:)
This will be a long term project, I hope to start on the steering axles today.:cool: |

Since the wether went south, I spent the time modeling the axles in 3d. Came out really well, and shows the way I changed the axle lengths.
Thanks for looking |
Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
Cool build and very nice work!

Had some time today, the weather is nice for once this last week. I made up the rear steering axle. Using parts from a TLT-1 axle I had to shorten the shafts. Tied them togather inside the axle housing with a coupler, then locked in place with 4-40 set screws. Came out really nice, now I have to make the yokes. Thanks for looking:) |
Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
your work is just killer man!
very nice |
Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
Thanks Russ, you guy's have inspired me:D

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
outstanding build this will be a true mechanical work of art..

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
Thanks Paul, just makes me want to build more.:)

I got a package from UPS today, :D containing the prototype diff covers. I first modeled them with Acad 2009 3D, then exproted an stl file. This file I sent to a 3D prototyping company for evaluation. Each part cost about 20-25 dollars to produce, but I now have casting masters.:cool::cool:
I did do a temp fit-up, and found that the design of the bearing housing was missing needed reinforcement (exposed internal bearing). So I will have to redesign that part. Since I did not request a specific color, the parts came in cream color ABS . I did not request a smooth finish due to the extra cost. Over all the parts are as designed, so 3D printing has come a long way in the last couple years. The parts are a little rough with ridges about .003 inches apart and produces a really nice look (to me). The service provider was fast with the production and shipped the parts the next day. I cant ask for better than that :eek: So now you guy's have an idea of what the axles will look like when finished. If you need to make a one off part for a master or installation I think this is a good alternative to machining for a couple of days. I have started on the front spring assemblies but not enough progress to show. Thanks for looking Carl |

I test fitted the parts today, :cool: I did find a couple of areas that will need to be modified.
Thanks for looking |
Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
3D Protoprinters are amazingly cool! Are you casting the diff covers in metal or something else? This is a very good build and your workmanship is great. Looking forward to seeing this thing move.
