Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000

[Car5858]

Had some time today, first I resized the axles. easier then I thought it would be. I cut the axles and used a coupling to extend them. Tied the coupling to the axles with 4-40 set screws. The coupling is 5/16 diameter I had to drill out the inside of the axle tube to 3/8 for clearence. Was sucessfull on the first try

Just couldn't resist putting the axle in position. I used some temp wood dowels to align the axle to the axle support beam. Then I made the exterior attachment point. I must say I am pleased with the results.

So I wanted to see what it would look like with a wheel and tire on the end. I used an rc4wd 1.55 rock crusher tire(?) with a 3.5 inch dia.

This just inspired me to continue with more drooling.

Thanks for looking.
