IH5070 Paystar 6X6 now a log truck & pup
 

since I get tired of tripping over bruders around here , I figured I need a wrecker :p . And as my wife likes to say ,"you just got to have the biggest "
:rolleyes: so here we go . scaled 14" double frame (steel outer aluminum inner ) rubber block hendrickson rear susp. 75t lathe motor , tamiya 3 speed axial trans for transfer case , and punisher shafts and carrier bearing like my 5900i hh tractor . cab : scratch built like always :rolleyes: opening butterfly hood and cab doors ( soon to be done ) not sure about interior . still need to fab the body and "may" make my pumps , depends on the supply side of things :(

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 70+ ton rotator
 

Steve great start should look great when its done.

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 70+ ton rotator
 

Woah that's gonna be a beast. Looks like you are right on track. I look forward to seeing this one go together, especially since you plan on getting it to function. So are you gonna do gear motors and screws or hydraulics?

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 70+ ton rotator
 

Looking good

Some side boxes, like this one might give you some more room to hide the workings??

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 70+ ton rotator
 

thanks ,Doug

thanks , it'll be small screw drives , a rack & pinion , and liniar actuators and gear motors

thanks , Jeff , that exactly what I'm doing

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 70+ ton rotator
 

Started on the rotator base . Not exact to the pic but this should work . The boom base will attach to the top of the gear .

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 70+ ton rotator
 

OK guys this is no ordinary wrecker build :p trying to keep true to scale as possible . got wrecker frame made , under lift started , stabilizers started and turntable being assembled while working on wheels .

http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...r/PIC_0496.jpg

I think it's going to be best to use hydros on this with some screw drives

thanks for looking

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 70+ ton rotator

Re: IH5070 Paystar 6X6 70+ ton rotator
 

Small update . got my boom segments made up :) working on screw drives as of now . I can make a pump and cylinders no prob but the valves I'm not ready to mess with yet and to buy them will blow the reserve :eek: beside I got a bunch already made sitting in the scrap :p . Full extension it is 16" beyond the back , a total of 32" long
