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.......

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.
