Hey Steve, That's outstanding, don't worry about the camera. So in scale lbs? how much weight will they handle? Keep the the great work!

Neil the truck is a 75T compacity I'm guessing the rears , from what I can see on the brochure , in excess of 100,000 # these < I can,t put enough in the box to max them out . I'm guessing 200+# the tires will flatten till I get that much on it .

Re: Mack M75SX
 

Very nice work Steve. I just got one of those differentials today to play around with. Might be a little big for my application though. Really nice detail with all the bolting of flanges on the pinion and the bearing caps on the beams.

Re: Mack M75SX
 

Incredible so far

Re: Mack M75SX
 

Just great!

WOW!! I forget to look in on this build for a few days and you go crazy with it! Those axles match the tires and wheels perfectly. Glad to see you have the mill and lathe programming down pat. :D Can't wait to see what is next :eek:

Re: Mack M75SX
 

thanks guys :) Lynn , I hope you can make it to york this comming jan. You'll get to see it in person working :D with some coal wear on the box by then :p .

Re: Mack M75SX
 

Thank's for the info Steve, Still learning how much weight, the scale stuff will handle.

Looks great! Are you going to use rubber bushings between the frame/walking beam and walking beam/axles?

Re: Mack M75SX

I always need more tools so a new cam takes a back seat :o:o:o:o

Re: Mack M75SX
 

Looks great Steve. I have seen this thing in person and the pics don't do it justice as to how big this truck really is. The center sections of the rear axles are as big as a pop can. We need to get Steve to take some pics next to a recognizable object that most can compare the size to. Not to mention this thing is a piece of art.:D

Re: Mack M75SX
 

Looking like you got the hang of machining pieces that look like castings. Kinda reminds me of some of my parts.

Re: Mack M75SX
