Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thanks Hostile :)

It might not look like much happened..........Got everything to fit and work now. Toolboxes and a few other small details left to fix. Next time i take a photo of this one it's with paint job done :bounce:

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Short Beams need hauling too!:D

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Yes Claus. :)

I provide Escort Service also..........Opsi !!! :D No load is to short or wide.....we do them all. This one is going to be busy....:cool: Very fun to drive. Turning radius less than 44 inches.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

I just ran across an idea for your *Really Heavy* hauls that should have a push-truck.

Except continue the steering / drawbar through an opening behind the pintle, so pintle pin is fulcrum so it looks and tracks more realistic

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thanks for the idea Frizzen. I've been working on and off to make a fully funktional steering system. Three puller's one Beam/other load rig, and three pusher trucks. So far i'm close to happy with the puller trucks, tiny bit left to adjust. Hoping i can get some continuous time space to work on that project. Dropping 5 minutes here and 30 minutes there it's just to complicated and hard to remember where i left off. And while waiting for paint to dry o the shop truck i'm starting this one.......

This one will be helpful in the fleet for sure. :D

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Coming along nicely Bo :cool:

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Bo, what axles are you using for the powered steering axles? Do you have a link that you can post fir where you source them? I need to get one fir a build that I have upcoming in the not too distant future.

No place for a Tamiya Gearbox........A smaller/better one is on it's way.....Other front rims and tires too :D

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

WooHoo the Winch Motors showed up today........:D

!2v 40 RPM Strong as a Bull :eek:

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Woo hoo bo-dog is building a excavator now!!

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Nope ;o) But i can pull a lot of stuff out of da HOLE.......:D

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Hehehehe

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

That's a LOT of winch motor. Looks like the motors I've got in the Bruder D11 conversion, for the drive motors.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Exactly skeeter they look like my china kat drive motors
Too. Can't wait to see what kind of big dog you building bo-dog

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Looking forward to see this creation. :).

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Well Mikem this is a fun build for sure. Skeeter this is two of four.....two backordered as usual when i go shopping.....can't win that game. How do you like those motors ? Bigford Are you happy with the motors ? Well this Dog is going to be the Über Dog In the Kennel :D Cooper It's coming to a screen near you Soon. Keep Clapping and stay tuned. :lol:

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

The track motors ARE the only thing on the kat that
Haven't caused me trouble

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Sounds like lil cat need a good Dr. It's sad when things aren't working like you was hoping. I'm sure it will do get fixed and happy play time will come around.
This motors needs attention.....the amount of grease in them are minimal....so i recommend put some more of that in before using them.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Wowzers! 4 of the big donnagers, you'll be doing some serious winching with them.

IDK how well the motors work....yet. I have them bolted onto the Bruder D11 conversion. EVENTUALLY, I'll get that project off my project bench(ES) & get it working.

BIGFORD I'm GLAD to hear that they are trouble free motors.

BO, THANKS fir the tip. I hadn't thought to open them to look. I definitely will be checking them, BEFORE placing the machine into service!

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Interesting truck indeed.
Can you lay a rule or caliper on those right angle motors? I've been hunting
for a pair but they cant be any more than 40mm wide when placed back to back to fit down into my little project I was foolin with.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Opsi.....Opsi Didn't tell you all of it....Did i ?:D

[IMG]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4653/...6b0c6c22_b.jpgIMG_2174 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

Two winches forward. Two Backwards. and two awkward....:lol:

P.S. Steve /9W Monighan i will do that pronto :)

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Steve here is two shot's hope it's good enough.

The shaft protrude 17mm and is 6 mm d shaft

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Looks like motor is out some from the back of case making them not touch each other. Whats the link to get some of these?

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

https://www.robotshop.com/en/6vdc-40...ear-motor.html

They are out of stock right now. I got a mail stated back in stock February 15 2018 So there is hope for us.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thanks Bo

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Need Road Construction Machine for Beam Hauler Fleete. So i started one more project..........Could be Ford's first Grader who knows.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Very nice. :)

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

CTI actuators? Gear motor on each wheel?

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thanks ittigger ;o)
Now that's a very good question........wish i had a good answer to give. I like the CTI actuators, so i'm trying them. i also looking if there could be a hydraulic alternative. Drive motors might go in the wheels.......i got to ask how you like the ones in your haul trucks. I'll make the front part of the frame in steel sheets for adding weight and strength....thinking i'll pop a line of battery cells inside.......not much room for things.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Nice one Bo! Ive always loved graders. Not enough around!

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Don't need the power of hyds for this type of machine & the CTI's will save you so much space. Do they each require an esc to operate? Maybe the actuonix would simply things even more :thinking:

The brushed motors work great & only need one esc to run 4 motors. The rpm on 3s is about 110. The brushless ones each need an esc for each motor & travel 10-15% slower, more expensive too, a bit shorter in length.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thanks Hostile.

Yes a grader is No 1 on my list for sure. a Ford might be outside the box......but i was outside the box all my life so i go with that........a different machine mathers too ;o)

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thanks Joe.
Good ideas / advice right there. I need a lot of power and low speed when grading or push with front blade or ripper in the rear. Have to do some torque test, it's a bit of dozer power needed to the wheels. I had one idea that required the hood to be extended a bit in length. a two speed gearbox and chain drive between the wheels like the real ones. well back at it and we see.....

Getting the Globe in to a multi tool. Beam Haule/Push Pull truck.

Near ready for paint and Bling stuff.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Be aware, making "multi-trucks" might lead to the need to downsize the overall fleet ;)

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Ops ! did not think of that............:lol: Must find a solution of that............:D

Did you try the frame rails yet ???

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

When would anyone have to many trucks ? Baffling

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

No, been to the US once more since we met. No time for hobbies for awhile.
