All I see is an awesome drop deck trailer..... :D

Re: 990 cat loader
 

Nice:) Can't wait to see it installed.

I checked the site from where you ordered the tires, but unfortunately i didn't find the right size (D 173mm, 75mm, inner D68mm). I will ask them if they are making custom size tires.

Re: 990 cat loader
 

HI Steve well it looks like they will work and be better than what you had on it. Ed

Re: 990 cat loader
 

Nice kicks Steve! Why so many????

Awesome dude! I love watching the video of it and the Mack 75! How is progress?

Re: 990 cat loader
 

I've been taking the weekends for myself lately (well trying :rolleyes:, got the next job started this afternoon :rolleyes: ) . So, I finally got to make new wheels for the new tires :eek: In steel no less :D . each wheel and tire assmbly weighs in at 4lbs 2oz , so I'm adding almost 16lbs when you figure the difference . It'll 60+ lbs now . Process pics from start to finish .

Nice work steve!! What holds the tire bead to the rims?

Re: 990 cat loader
 

Thanks Tom , the tires slip over the bead (barely ) to a nice snug fit . Its almost impossible to pull them off .

I put 1 on the back this morning and no more squishy tires :D I'll post pics later in the week all painted and mounted .

Re: 990 cat loader
 

Okay steve. I get it. Watching your video from "cabin fever" it looked like you were operating with a flat tire. :eek: :D

Re: 990 cat loader

now that they're done next valve rebuild , windows ,lights , sound (maybe) , decals , railing/ladders/steps and more paint wear :D.

Re: 990 cat loader
 

WOW what a difference a thicker sidewall will make, the stance looks much better!

Do you have two extra of those tires & will they fit the Mammoth rim?

Re: 990 cat loader
 

thanks Joe , I wanna get them dirty :D

No extras . I got them off RC machines . They are made by Barnausen.de ,I think, I tried contacting them with no luck , so I went through RC Machines . I waited a bit for them :( but worth the wait :) . They're just a tad narrower then the mammoth tires but will fit if you cut the webbing off the wheels .

Re: 990 cat loader
 

Tires look great steve! I looked thru your thread trying to find out why the front fenders are not painted and all I found was "the painter didn't do it". Will you do this later? This model will look great with all the things you have planned next.

Re: 990 cat loader
 

hey IH that looks great i used to work for a company who owned one and lol it looks like you stole it and shrunk it down but great job on the build keep up the great work
