Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
 

It's a quarry truck Mario, how many have you seen without scars? :D I'd like to bring it up and run it in your pit someday, it'll move a lot of product! :cool:

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
 

I was referring to Pigeonfarmboy, what Nate you referring to?

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
 

Izzy wasn't that bad at loading, needling him a little! You don't want me using the excavator!! You would be replacing parts not just have some scars :rolleyes:

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
 

The same. He's the the only Nate I've seen run an excavator and load trucks in person.

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
 

Yeah, same here!

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
 

I decided to update the box on this truck. I had a 4x8 sheet of styrene curled up in the corner not doing anything. Then I figured I'd try a screw drive. Took the existing box and LESU scissor lift off and sit it aside for use on a trailer.
Here's my progress on the lift parts:

Thanks for looking!

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
 

Just a suggestion on you screw drive. On mine I found that the furniture drive nuts didn't last long being metal on metal. I just replaced the slider block and drilled and taped right through with the thread. Delron itself is very slippery and I find I can lift a bigger load faster with the new block. One thing though is you have to have a very sharp tap as it doesn't cut the best if it's dull

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
 

Thanks Rob good to know. This is my first shot a screw drive so I'm kinda playing as I go to see what tweaks I need to do. I still need to figure out my lift cylinder/rod length and how to attach it to the Delron. I like that LESU left but I figured it was time to learn how to do this.:D

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
 

That motor will have TONS of power for a truck box! Looking good!

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
 

I'm looking forward to running it, it's quiet and smooth but it looks a little slow. It's 165 RPM@ 12V I'll try it but will probably go with the next RPM which is 300+. For the near future this thing will be mostly hauling ground rubber which isn't that heavy so the loss of power shouldn't matter much.

It's been a while but I'm still updating this build. I've got the new dump box on it. Those that showed up at the Lebanon meet seen it. Made the front bumper and grille gaurd, they aren't done yet but are getting close. Next on the list for this build will be, finish the dump box with some details, improve my tailgate latch, make a hydraulic tank and mud guards for it.

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
 

That new bumper and grill guard really set it off!

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
 

Looking GOOD Kent! I like both the bumper and grill guard. I agree with Reg, it realy sets it off.

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
 

Thanks guys, I need to make a couple pieces for the grill guard yet, put some lights in the bumper and some kind of tow hook or D rings on it.

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
 

Finished the grill guard and mounted it to the bumper today, a little clean up and it's ready for paint.

:D:D

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
 

So I'm done with list for now. I'm looking for a scale looking battery box for left side, D rings for the front bumper and need to put taillights in the rear, but I have other projects I really want to get to like the pup trailer for this thing and the list goes on!

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
 

Big, badass truck :) Looks good. Could have use for that in my own quarry...

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
 

Looks great! Can't wait to see it in person at Indy!

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck

Looks GREAT!
Alex, Cooper, Rita and Myself will see you at Indy

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
 

Thanks Egronvold, As soon as I decide what to build or buy to load this thing I think I'll start my own quarry.

Thanks see you there!

Thanks Terry, looking forward to seeing you and the family in a couple days!
