IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck & pup

Your makin' some cool parts Steve. Just wish your camera could focus so I could see 'em. LOL.

Keep us posted on the micropump when you get 'er running. Next move for me was going to be trying to gear it down a bit - never got the thing to run low enough amperage one to one. I put mine on the shelf for now but will get back to it some day.

thanks Joe the cam takes a back seat for now my wife does a better job , the problem is to get her to take some time to take the pics for me what RPM motor do you have ? I got a johnson @6600 rpm I'm going to try not much torq though ( I just noticed ) we'll see I'm not sure about being able to run this in ECMT meat on the 11th I got to get on a trlr frame and some other things till a new lathe comes ( well new to me )

Sounds like I have the same motor. I bought a Johnson 12V 6600RPM motor off ebay and also tried the 12V Johnson motor off my Leimbach pump as a test. They both performed almost identical. Labored real bad and pulled 6 or 7 amps (blew a 5A fuse almost immediately). If I remember correctly these Idex micropumps are moving about 5 times as much fluid as a Leimbach with each revolution so I think problem is too much volume. I was going to try a 4:1 gear reduction as next step.

Joe my pump on the shelf to for a little . it looks out of proportion to the truck so I think I'm going to try to get a micro pump from the Germans for this 1 . I have timing pulleys for 4:1 reduction as a stacked unit I plan to get together for my TD40B and the big mack if the UMS pump will not work for it

thanks Brian

I'm pretty much shelving my projects till I get some customers caught up except for somethings I'll use as a trial run on the JD mill . Like the frame pieces for the pup for this truck .



if it does these right then I'll feel comfortable running drop deck frames .

last set of frames till I get a bunch of wheels out of my way

BTW : these have the ryco suspension built in









I'm trying to get these few frames out of the way before I tie up the mill on the 2nd op for WHEELS
