Re: Weed killer/water Aeromax truck
Sweet! Where did you get the little valves? Are you going to hook them up to a servo so that they can be adjusted or turned on and off?

Re: Weed killer/water Aeromax truck
Thanks buddy! no servo, the real ones turn by hand so I'm sticking to that idea.... Cause it's less work :D . The little valves I found by accident at Menards. $1.97 . I wanted less complexity and more function.

Re: Weed killer/water Aeromax truck
The Aeromax is a good choice for this inventive piece of equipment:cool:;). I like your train of thought on this. Can't wait to see more.:D:D:D

Re: Weed killer/water Aeromax truck
Cool idea, love it when you can incorporate work and play. Looking forward to more pics.

Re: Weed killer/water Aeromax truck
wow! I need to make something like this!
|
Re: Weed killer/water Aeromax truck
Thanks guys!!! It's really turning out great. Here are more pictures.
Got the nozzles mounted and added some cross beams to the deck. http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...psiov7wdfo.jpg Now the splitter between the sprayers, had to be even to make sure it has even flow on both sides. http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...psnuois9es.jpg http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...psortbbjhk.jpg http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...psiynstcge.jpg Some hard lines to hide the motor wires http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...psgshzcdhj.jpg This machine will have a filler access, bring another tanker or drive into a filling station ( coming soon) plug and fill. Mount made of brass as it needed to be strong cause it needs pressure to insure the filler nozzle is well seated . Let's get cracking http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...psxlmoymn5.jpg http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...psjx2l87s8.jpg http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...psgfynbefx.jpg What's a water truck without a hose reel?? Wolf got the frame built while I made the riding rollers. http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...psgqs1oppa.jpg http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...psnjalhyuf.jpg Simple you may think..... Took forever to get them just right and level. Everything in this build has easy removal/repair access. I hope to never need either option. Added a diamond plate to the upper deck and some serious support as this tank will be heavy and the last thing I need is for it to break on the job site http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...psr6r2xuxw.jpg Hard line mounts. Simple and easy http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...pssi4voytx.jpg http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...psyvokblyr.jpg The hose will also be functional , I just don't have it plugged yet. http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...psigo1gesc.jpg Let's shoot some paint on this piece shall we?? http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...psdt0tpru0.jpg http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...psz5rjtjw5.jpg And last but not least http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...psulvqo8zg.jpg http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9renfrlq.jpg http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...psjtve1dcc.jpg http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...psqs8jopfk.jpg http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...psqxbetu1g.jpg I tested everything and all works flawlessly !!! I changed out the stupid white tanks and side skirts for plain chrome tanks. Looks much more work truck like. Now the part I hate most, making LED's and fitting all the crap inside the cab. I will post a video soon after it's all done and driving under it's own power. Thanks guys for checking out my build. I hope this gives you some ideas if you were thinking of building one for whatever reason , my reason is the weeds are taking over my construction area and now they will be history :D. Ayoub |
Re: Weed killer/water Aeromax truck

Re: Weed killer/water Aeromax truck
Thanks boss!

Re: Weed killer/water Aeromax truck
This a nice machine looking forward to the video! When you made the filler nozzle box how did you bend your brass, the bends are flawless. :cool:

Re: Weed killer/water Aeromax truck
Great build. What holds the pump/tank frame to the flatbed? Magnets?
|
Re: Weed killer/water Aeromax truck
This is a great build, cant wait to see it done.
|
Re: Weed killer/water Aeromax truck
Thanks guys! Blender, the frame with the tank is sitting on it's own weight right now when it's full it will not move. But I'm putting straps on it soon for more realism.
|
Re: Weed killer/water Aeromax truck
Great idea and build, cant wait to see it in action.
|
Re: Weed killer/water Aeromax truck
