IH5900i heavy haul tractor
since I built my detachable to haul my pans (scrapers) I needed a truck that looks like It can handle it so here's what is on my mind http://www.truckpaper.com/listingsdetai ... ID=2361583
So far the cab is roughed in and being shaped along with details added . Chassis is almost done . This will have my much loved 10 holes on it :D . enjoy http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...er/9900ix1.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...der/5900i5.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...er/5900i21.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...er/5900i26.jpg decided to put an interier in so had to put the electrics somewhere http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z.../5900i26-1.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...er/5900i23.jpg here you see the lift mech. for the pusher the carrier bearing and all the other little details I made http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...er/5900i25.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...er/5900i24.jpg thats it for now will do more later ;) thanks for looking IHSteve |

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
I know I've told you before Steve, but I really like this truck. The grill turned out great and I like your suspension. Looks like you are waiting on airbags now? Always good to be reaching the home stretch with a project.

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
after staring at the pics of the real truck the grill assem. just did not look right . So while making wheel hubs I fixed it ;) then made the insert tonight :D . also got the wheels on that are supposed to be . I wanted to cut 10 diamonds in them but thought they be to small to see anyway :( (maybe later ) and put the remade lift axle on :rolleyes: And we're getting closer to paint :chug::D

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
Quite the transformation from the first post, really coming along nicely.

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
The grill looks great, Steve! The rims are really nice as well. I'm curious how you made them. You must have a lathe too. How do you drill the holes and get them perfectly spaced? You must have a manual turntable?

Steve this is coming alone nicely. Ed

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
Thor , Nathan , Ed thanks
Nathan ,yes I have a very old 14" lathe .I want to get a cnc tool room lathe with a 2.5" spindle bore :D I had a fixture made up for me . so I can make 10 , 5 , and 2 hole for now . the 5 and 2 hole steel I used to oval the holes with a mill cutter in my dremel :eek: I did it again on the light buckets and just about took my leg of :eek: but it was worth it :D IHSteve |
