Your welcome, and thanks for looking.

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
 

Got a call from my Dad last night, He did get a couple more rims done. The problem he had while skip cutting the od, caused the spindle drive pinion to fail, about 3 teeth are missing. :(

I bought this lathe 12 years ago, an Atlas Craftsman 101-21200. Finding parts for the is tough.:mad:

Since the pinion is cast onto the spindle pully, I am going to try to repair the damaged teeth. Still trying to locate the part.

So the rims are on hold for now.

That's a bummer! good looking build hopefully the machine will be up and running soon

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
 

I understand Clausing bought Atlas and they still provide repair part's, try this site.

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
 

Thanks Neil, I have talked with them on the phone already. They are searching the warehouse for the part.

So far the repair is holding, we will see how it holds up under a load.

Thanks everyone.

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
 

Well no luck on repairing the teeth, or finding a new part. I was able to lock the cone pully to the spindal shaft. Just reduces the options of spindal speeds, we can deal with that. Now we are waiting for the heat wave to pass.:(

I did get some parts in, :D pinion bearing covers. I did not think that the abs plastic would hold up to well, and there was an alignment problem. So I redesigned the covers and had them made by the students in the class. One cover was rejected as incorrect.

After deburring and fitting to the covers I drilled the mounting holes. IT went togather pretty nice.
:D:D

One step closer

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
 

Small update, still awaiting parts maybe they will be finished soon.

In the meantime I designed an 8-71 Detorit in 1/16th amd 1/14th scales.
I have all the parts drawn but still need to dimension them.

One question that I have not been able to answer is how the A/C compressor is mounted.

If any one has some input please feel free to advise me. I was going to post some pdf files but they are to large to post so here are some screen shots.

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
 

Your ability to build aluminum parts with hand tools is second to none.
I'm inspired to attempt making parts I would not have in past. Your parts show what a artist you are.

I'm convinced now that those how call Picasso a artist have not seen your work! Joe

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
 

Thanks Joe

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
 

I have about 2 1/2 years with the Het and they do not come stock with AC in the models we have. The Super Het M1070A1 does but I doubt we will see those for years.

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
 

Yes that is true. My cousin was Co of transportation Btl. He was the one that got me interested in these trucks. Hopefully I will be able to some more work on this one when Classes let out for the summer.:)

Hello Car5858

Your build is Incredible please keep the build pictures coming.

Thanks Again for Your Posting

George

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
 

Thanks George, it will be a couple more months before I can get back to the build. At least the weather will be warm :)

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
 

Hello car5858

From your posted pictures of the frame rails are those cross members solid or tubular aluminum and how are they actually jointed to the side rails?

Also what material did you use for the air bags? Is it functional OR cosmetic?

Keep them pictures coming.

Thanks Again

George

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
 

The cross members are milled from solid stock. Then the 4 top bolts hold the cross members in place. At the same time bolting the axle mounts in place. The air bag mounts also bolt into the rear frame cross member. The material was 3/4" square aluminum stock. (6061)

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
 

Is a nice project, want see more pic soon

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
 

Yes I have been meaning to get some more pic's posted. Illness has pretty much wasted the summer. I will get back on the truck soon I hope.

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
 

Hope you feel better soon! Looking forward to more progress:D:D:D
Cheer's, Neil.

Thanks Neil.

Hi Car 5858

George from Cold Canada. Long time for us both on this site. I have had health issues also. I look forward to be able to go ahead with this project too but I have to go slow.

I hope you are feeling better because your work is inspiring and infectous!

I need more pictures, getting withdrawl feelings!!!

George

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
 

I couldn't help noticing the blueprints you have on the chassis. Did you create them or are these available somewhere online? I'm starting my first build and could really use a set of these. Going to be getting a Knight Hauler and considering modifying some of the stock parts. Looking forward to seeing more pics of your project.

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
 

Yes I drew up the plans. Due to health reasons I have not made much progress on the build.

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
 

This is an awesome build. I don't really check the military section of this forum much, but I will now. I have to hand it to you, Car, you've got the skills, patience, and eye for the details. Everything you've made so far looks perfect. Incredible, when you say you are working with minimal power and hand tools. I'll be watching for updates.

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
 

This is a really awesome looking poroject! Are there any updates to it?

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
 

Sorry about being gone so long guy's.

Had a bout with Cancer and have been in remission for about 9 months. I lost the internet due to unexpected expenses, and that all worked out. Last summer I was trying to continue the build. I ran into to many problems with the drive train that I made. Alignment issues were the biggest problem.

So I decided to rebuild using wood in 1/14th scale.
Re-scaled the drawings and commenced to building. Some minor changes were needed, but since I had all the parts for the 1/14th scale build. I started the woodworking. I used the Carve wright to make many of the cab panels (this machine is not recommended) I built the tractor and trailer with Walnut, Maple, Holly, redwood and Osage orange.

This was the following result. Sorry I forgot to take the progress pictures you all like to see.

The tractor used a RC4 wd 2 speed trans. Provided a good scale speed in low gear. The trailer was also made of wood Aluminum for the suspension parts. Brass tubing wias used for shocks and Goose neck cylinders.

The Truck came out really nice and was auctioned off for a children's benefit.
Before you ask, the truck brought in 2200.00 for the kids.

Thanks for looking.

Second batch of photos

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
 

Great pics of an awesome & unique build! Hopefully the new owner will have much joy in owning the piece of craftsmanship.

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
 

Glad to hear your cancer has gone into remission.

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
 

Thanks, glad you like the truck. The trailer steering was the hardest part to figure out. The Rear 8 axles are steering in proportion to their position.
