Looking great, but I'm kind of bummed it says your YouTube video is unavailable. Was looking forward to seeing it in action. Anyway the truck looks awesome keep the updates coming.

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

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.

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck
 

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 :o ) 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 :D ( well new to me :o )

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck
 

Lookin good Steve!

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck
 

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.

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck
 

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 :confused: . 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 :confused:

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 :mad: . Like the frame pieces for the pup for this truck .

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

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck

Sweet lookin stuff!!!!!! Great design on the rails. Can't wait to see it all done

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck
 

They look NICE Steve.. So do the A/C's. Question, are you drilling and taping the mounting holes in the a/c's?
