New Project!
 
As if I haven't got enough to do, I thought I'd start a new project.

Started out with 4x of these:

Thanks Kaptain, its a secret for now;) Want to make sure I can do it first:eek: am open to guesses though:p

Made some progress over the weekend, now have 4x tyres, 4x wheels, 4x hubs and 4x motors:

Thanks for looking

My god. You making a tractor,or a loader? or 1/10 scale four wheel drive truck....
I give up.

I will take a wild guess.

From the looks of the tires and the fact that the rims have only 8 lugs holding them to the hubs, I would say it is going to be a bobcat type of loader.
With those tires and anything larger, there would have to be more lugs nuts/bolts holding the rims to the hubs.

Now you have my 2 cents worth. BTW I hate secrets...LOL

Not sure what it's going to be yet, but nice machining job on the wheels/hubs. Where'd you get those motors if you don't mind me asking?

The 1:1 has 10 wheel bolts but I went with 8, those 2mm holes are a sod to tap!

Thanks, the motors came from here:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/22newcentu...84.m1439.l2654

A few clues:
It has 4x equal size wheels/tyres
Is artic steer
And remember what section this is in;)

Thanks for looking
Stu

Thanks for the info on the motors. Maybe I should know this, but I don't. What is artic steer?

No worries, Artic = Articulated i.e it bends in the middle

Danke :)

I found this at my local scrap metal merchants, 5 meters of 50mm ally bar and a 2.5 meter piece of 20x60, I picked them up for 50€:D

Not sure what grade it is but it machines lovely, started roughing out the first motor mount:

Motor is a good fit:

Not bad for an old Colchester student lathe which incidentally before starting my first wheel for this project was the last lathe I used at school over 20 years ago!

Hope to get more done over the weekend.

OK, Stu, I guess you're building a CAT 938G wheel loader. The clues given by the tires and articulated steering lead me to this conclusion. :thinking:

Forgive me if I'm wrong. :eek:

Has to be some sort of 4x4 tractor...unless he's throwing us off the scent by placing it in the farm tractor section...

Re: New Project!
 
My guess is JD 8630?

So it could be;
Red, or green, or yellow, or silver, or blue, Hmm which brand did I forget?
Cheer's, Neil.

One last guess, JD 8650?
Nice work! Whatever make/model it is, I'll be following the build!
