This truck is great. I haven't even finished my first truck and this already makes me want to start another one my next one will be a Mercedes Benz 2232 as a log truck with a bogie jinker my old man had this set up when I was growing up. Well keep up the great work and some more pics please!

I got a lil package today when I got home My pumps came I won 2 micropumps from fleabay with the motors on with the magnetic coupling . I thought I'd give them a try on this truck to see how they work out . My valves are ready to get machined just a matter of feeling better and getting back in the shop I'm still toying on buying cylinders or making them Liembach has the right 1's but they take a chunk out of the pocket ( well not bad considering the real 1's )
( note spelling stinks )

Where is the pump from Steve, China?

Micropumps , they're made for lab equipment actually a US corp to by them outright they are more then a Liembach . but they use stainless steal for the pump housing . http://www.micropump.com/default.aspx

Pup and dolley look good! Stabalizers are sweet too are you going to use actuators or like a screw drive setup on them?

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Wow Steve that looks great!! Nice work the frame on that trailer is a work of art.

[ihbuilder]

glad you like it guys

now remember I've been playing with these micro pumps awhile back ?



well i finally got 1 to a useable state the motor that came with it musta been gelded so I had a 55T integy lathe motor and a RC4wth 4:1 reduction put it all together and ahlala insta pump at 15 bar pushing against the gage . bear in mind this is the smaller of the 2 type I have . it also has no relief valve .



now on to the valves

[ihbuilder]

I dug er back out fiddled with the axles while waitin on the mill put wedico springs on the pup spent the rest of the time trying to remember what I was doing maybe life will let me get some parts made for the pup tomorrow

[Bigrigger]

Lookin' purty purty there, Steve!

[Espeefan]

Looks nice Steve. How do these micro pumps compare, price-wise to Leimbach? That's a heck of a chair you have at the workbench?

nate my suggestion is buy the leimbach you have to do a lot to get these to work and they're not much cheaper new the gear sets are around $100.00

hey gotta keep the lab rats comfy while assembling wheels

[ihbuilder]

well life did get in the way did manage a few hrs this evening
but something got screewed up you'll see

some dumb programmer spot drilled to deep and the dumb operator didn't catch it

[Dairyland Trucker]

Oh when you put a lense in there nobody will know but you, I think it looks just fine from over here.

[dabears]

little bit of sandpaper will fix that.. I wouldn't of noticed had you not said anything lol

[ihbuilder]

mounting holes too big

[Dairyland Trucker]

I think it looks just fine, but we know how this works if your not happy with it than your not going to like it but I think it looks great. If you are painting the bumper black it may not be so noticable. Something like that might look killer on my Granite.

[Straywolf]

Truthfully i like the way it look's. But if not happy with it why not try to camouflage it, like hook a chain to the front pull hook and then on the top left and right hole's, put a small hanger rod in each hole and wrap your chain from side to side in "U" shape, and it may help to take away from it.

But to me your font bumper really look's great!!!! I Like it!!
