Re: Volvo A40F

I test fitted the bogie to the frame. I don't have the new middle axle yet to see if the drive shaft have enough room:confused:
I think I start to make the a-frames front end attachment next. I going to use a ball joint there so that the bogie and axles can move freely.

This is a nice build you have started. All the work is top-notch, just like your other builds. I enjoy watching how you design the parts and then machine all the pieces. Great work!!

Using that new axle should make the truck much more durable. Since the shaft passes through the differential of the middle axle the current axle has to withstand the load of both axles.. The axle with the bypass (provided it actually is a bypass) distributes the load equally onto both axles. Should be much better for the drive train..

That's true Pip.
I just got the the new middle axle and it really is a bypass axle:)

Re: Volvo A40F

The new middle axle does the trick, there's plenty of clearance around the drive shaft now:)

Thanks buddy , I've seen your work and I can say the same for you:)

I got the axle cross stays attached to the frame.
The frame is still missing the sheeting that covers the frame rails and where all the brackets will attach.
