Default Re: Benz street sweeper. First test vids!

WOW,Thanks Guys!
Joe,that's quit the complement,Thanks!
Scott,I wanted to make sure this idea was going to work before I started hangin the most complex part of the build on the truck. Plus I'm still on the hunt for the perfect brushes.The mechanical part is already figured out,just need the brushes so I can figure out where to mount it.
Espeefan,the broom on the backwards tractor is on an angle to the left.
Would of made it power angle,but didn't want to stuff the cab for it.
Well,the only thing left is the brooms & paint.Man this sucks! Now I've got to send this out to be painted,or set back up my booth. There's no way I can spray this thing in the garage this time of the year.
Well,here's the progress.



Hopper dump test.

The vacuum unit is 14.4 volt,so this is what I came up with for turning it off & on.

All this room,& the battery for the truck is gotta go in the cab.
Kinda was hope'in this wouldn't get into lookin like something nasa built.
But once again it's gettin tight.



Thanks for lookin!
