Bell 50 ton Dumper - ADT

[elliot330]

Another busy night…

Rear suspension bolted up and ready to accept the axles… the holes in the chassis are a little tight, I think this is due to them being laser cut rather than drilled, but easily overcome, just run a 10mm or 6mm drill bit through it or whatever size the hole is meant to be. Job done…

Onto some pictures



Bolted the articulated swivel joint on, again another oversized very well engineered part, the fit of the pieces is so good. I know anyone with an ounce of machining knowledge could do it, but I’m still amazed at the tight tolerances!







The axles still needed wiring, but thought what the heck, lets bolt them on…
