Re: NorthEast Logging Co.
Well, another weekend of unproductivity!:( I did get a little work done on the truck though. I fabricated some basic suspension parts for the rear axles. And finished up the differentials, driveshafts, and motor
[img] https://s22.postimg.cc/b5r1gve41/image.jpg [/img] But other than that, I have not done much. Even those solid beam suspension parts are messed up. I made them to short!!! :o :cop: Still more to come! Jon in Vt. The Northern Rednecker |
Re: NorthEast Logging Co.
So, still in a slump.
But I have gotten a little bit of work done in the past week or so. This is a solid beam non-steering lift axle. [img] https://s22.postimg.cc/68ldijidt/image.jpg [/img] It was a long project to get this to print right, then to figure out a mounting system for it, then to realize that I was not going to use it on the T800W frame, it is too short! Still, I am slowly making some progress on the T800W build. Although, I have recently come across the idea of using all Tamiya parts on my differentials, so it is done right, as the plastic gears are prone to binding up.

Re: NorthEast Logging Co.
Soooooo.....
It's been almost a month since my last post. I have been busy with some family stuff, and work, and occasionally doing a little work on my T800W. [img] https://s22.postimg.cc/sehni1wvl/image.jpgimage uploading [/img] I bought some tires for my truck. Including some RC4WD Super Wide 1.7s for the front side. Other than that, not much going on! I also started a half round dump trailer build, but I think the chassis might get a custom wood chip style box, I need to move a large amount of rubble out of the log yard, and I won't have the dump set up complete until sometime this winter. Thanks for reading! Jon in Vt. The Northern Rednecker |
Re: NorthEast Logging Co.
So....
Not much going on around here.... I kinda broke my arm while I was riding a four wheeler a few weeks ago... unfortunately I can’t use my arm for at least another week, so that halted work on the T800W. Jon in Vt. The Northern Rednecker |
Re: NorthEast Logging Co.
The non steerable drop look good sitting there by the truck.
BUmmer to hear about your arm. Here's wishing you a speedy recovery! |
Re: NorthEast Logging Co.
Back in the saddle! (Kinda)
My arm is still in a cast, but I managed to start a new suspension on my T800W. It’s kind of like a 4-bag air ride suspension... without airbags. [img] https://i.postimg.cc/MMycdkf3/B236_B..._F8_BBF309.jpg [/img] [img] |
Re: NorthEast Logging Co.
Pretty cool to watch you try to 3D print a trk, keep going with it, very interesting :cool:
I feel your pain in the arm, I took a tumble on my quad spring of '07 & crack my pelvis, no cast & no hobby activity for 3 months! Take 'er easy ;) |
Re: NorthEast Logging Co.
Hello all....
Thank you Lil Giants, yes it has been taking it easy for the past month and a half, only 4 days left in a cast for me. WooWoo Anyway, not a whole lot going on around here. Jon in VT. The Northern Rednecker |
Re: NorthEast Logging Co.
So it’s been a hot minute since I’ve shown any work on my truck.... and I still don’t have a lot to show for my efforts. The chassis is finished for the most part. I just have to fix the front hub for the wide steer tires. After I finally test drive it, I will finish the cab and hood.
