Alternative to screw drive !
I worked on a different system for a dump system on my ADT. There is not a lot of room for a screw drive system unless I build a new box, so I worked on a pulley system today and it seems to work. Far from clean and hidden, but it is simple..

AH That's a trick on that ADT, those are fakies... The box is lifted by the winch motor that you see, there is no hyd on that truck.

Pulley system is similar to what I am going to use on my end dump. Looks good.

Just a update, some people have been asking what I have been up to... Well the ski season on the West Coast has been very GRIM this year. Not much of a winter as of yet with the ski hill only open for a few days so far due to lack of snow.
I have started a log skidder build, it is now rolling. I am very impressed with its climbing power.

Looking Good!!!

Are both the axles mounted solid to the frame or is one on a pivot??

On this machine the pivot point is on the front axle, some smaller skidders it is in the center. ( CAT 518 skidder )

Hey guys, its been a while, work keeps getting in the way of model building... I have been able to check the thread from time to time. Looks like the hobby is growing at a nice pace... Attached is some update work I have done on the skidder.

Nice! How are you driving the wheels. Speaking of wheels, are those tires off of an old Radio Shack RC car? I have an old one called the Car Crusher. Also a smaller 4x4 with the same style tire but smaller scale.

I have put a electric motor for each wheel. Tires are from tower hobbies
