Default Re: Structo dumptruck conversion

Thanks to Mustang46555, i now have a DUMPtruck! Not just a truck that looks like it should dump. I'm running a used Figreli L12-30-100-12S, and i'm feeding it off an old servo board with no feedback so it holds any position. I'm not sure if it's got enough torque.



My driver got a magnetic implant, with a magnet between his back and seat, and another on back side of the seat. Now it doesn't matter this has vinyl seats, doesn't have seatbelts, and rides like a dumptruck

I learned that if you're towing a mobile crane, you need a way to secure the outriggers up. Also make sure your sandloader chute handle is over center so that doesn't drop.

I need to rework the tail light mounts into mudflap holders.
I need to make a new drawbar plate for new heavy duty pintle hitch instead of the tow ball.
I need to look more into the 1.9 rally car tires, these slicks are still hard slicks.

Also threw this together in a hurry for the meet


Woodsman trailer full of 16 inch log rounds and splits, with a Polaris Sportsman 850 AWD strapped down. Drop the trailer, pull the straps, and the quad could be hooked up to the front. Add a rider and a chainsaw, you're ready to get more firewood.
