Thanks for the info-I gave up on the mining truck I wanted to build because I couldn't find the correct size tires.

Re: 2 IH 433 payscrapers (ps433-2 moves)
 

Tom, Why don't you try to cast some tires from silicone? If you could come up with the right size you probably could sell some to others in the same situation. What dimensions are you looking for?

Re: 2 IH 433 payscrapers (ps433-2 moves)
 

I grew up with IH construction equipment and really enjoy seeing your scrapers. What truck are you considering?

I wish someone on this side of the pond would do this.

Re: 2 IH 433 payscrapers (ps433-2 moves)
 

well Matt , it has been on my mind , but with my current makings the demand has exceded the supply :eek:

not only that I got to many builds going :eek::D

I agree the construction tire issue is not very good here ...Wonder if the rock crawler parts supplier that makes the scale rig tires could be talked into making a few different versions ..Im sure the are a few guys on here the know him personaly .
THe scrapers are looking good steve...looks like you have the drive pretty well figured out with tons of power to load ..Are you planning to add a second gear as well?

Re: 2 IH 433 payscrapers (ps433-2 moves)
 

Tanks LOU I was planing to but with the trannys I got to change a lot . so I'm thinking of gearing it up for the high speed and use the radio to slow it down . got plenty of power and weight :)

we need some up date pics i been postin on my pan lol ur turn lol i like seein your progress i think your pans are cool i don't know how you guys build in a small scale i like 1/10 so much more room

Re: 2 IH 433 payscrapers (ps433-2 moves)
 

Because the trucks are 1/16 and 1/14 approximately. The german construction equipment is built in these scales as well. Then there is all the diecast in 1/16 you can use for static loads/staging/cargo. :)

Clyde nothing to post yet :( for some reason there's to many projects on the bench , drill press , lathe and mill and not enough operators :rolleyes:

boy the dust got thick enough to pan it off :p got tired of moving my bigger sprockets around finally put them on and tried the scraper out . :) worked well :)

Re: 2 IH 433 payscrapers (ps433-2 moves)
 

What did you say? :confused:

You really need to proof read what you've written before hitting the send button. ;)

Re: 2 IH 433 payscrapers (ps433-2 moves)
 

Sorry :o the first time I did that :o

I'll get better pic's when the sun comes out . Finally got a few drops of mother nature

Re: 2 IH 433 payscrapers (ps433-2 moves)
 

Pics are fine Steve, glad to see you figured out good picture taking. :nice:

Good work on the fenders, the scraper is coming together nicely. I don't see the two speed trannies :confused:, not on this one?

Re: 2 IH 433 payscrapers (ps433-2 moves)
 

no , I ditched the idea for now . I just increased the speed through the gearing and I'll slow it down through the radio ( If I need to ) . The boxes I got just would not work for what I want . so when I start putting #1 together I'll build my own . I'm just eager to get one working then fine tune later .

IHSteve

Re: 2 IH 433 payscrapers (ps433-2 moves)
 

dang It joe , Now you got me thinking about the 2 speed again . After I wrote that previous post ,I couldn't leave it alone .( I get tiered of redoing ) . for some reason ,all my builds seem to take longer then I expect them to :rolleyes:

IHSteve

Re: 2 IH 433 payscrapers (ps433-2 moves)
 

Steve don't feal bad my builds never get done. i have a little too much A D D some times but your doing it right so it will take some time. you will have the power now to fill that bole up good and high.

Re: 2 IH 433 payscrapers (ps433-2 moves)
 

IHSteve- I laughed reading your last comment.....I second guess myself on a lot of stuff, just funny to see someone else doing it...got a kick out of it. It's looking good! I think there is a race going on.....let's see who can get there scraper/pull pan to fill the bowl 1st.

Ben

Re: 2 IH 433 payscrapers (ps433-2 moves)
 

thanks mog , yea she got the guts but slow as heck traveling thats the purpose of the trans to up the travel speed . I'm thinking making my own so low is direct and hi is 4:1 overdrive



Ben , I do not know if any one else tried theirs , but I loaded mine half full till I got tied of holding the bowl up by hand.


I'll be running the chain drive till I get the trannies made gona take some time by hand X 4 :rolleyes: did some more sheet metal while making wheel blanks post on it later this wknd ( no pretty paint now )
