Default Re: Aeromax Rotating Wrecker

Once i got back to it a month ago or so i started building the base of the boom and working to figure that out. I picked this tank turrett unit up for rotation hoping its strong enough to do the job

And my first attempt at the base was unsuccessful

Not strong enough

Then i went down to my snow plow buddies shop and got this bearing

And a one inch bolt i center drilled to hold all the wires in the middle of the rotation

This is overkill but i like to work that way! haha
Then i cut a piece of thicker aluminum to fit the gear and mounted it to the chassis

And it actually works haha. Surprised myself a little bit.
Then i started cutting and bending sheet metal to build the boom base.

Once i got that together it was time to mount the winches which is where im at now on this build




Im hoping that the winches will be strong enough for this. Thats what i got so far.
I'll be ordering the aluminum tube in the next week or so to start fabricating the boom. Pics will follow as i get them. Thanks for looking!
