I started to make the frame

[Hemi1966]

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
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!!

Differently going to have to take notes from the thread for when i start building one of those dump truck things. Very nice work, i will enjoy seeing how this comes along.

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

Hello Ari.

As always .. excellent work.
fast it is going to
Love the way you produce suspension on. quite similar to the original machine.
Looking forward to further build pictures ..

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

[Hemi1966]

I got the rear axle a-frame ball joint attached to the main frame

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.

[Hemi1966]
