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! Scott |
