Kenworth 850 Off Highway

Reg,

I just stumbled onto the slide show video, wow!

I am trying to get started on the truck chassis under my NyLint dragline. I know with all your skill and experience this will be hard to answer but what did you use for plans or design ideas as you built the logging truck?

Could you say something about the drive train? I saw one picture that looked like an off the shelf gear going into the diff but is it a solid axel or a live diff?

What sort of mill are you using for this sort of stuff? I purchased a 10" lathe a few weeks back and of course now I realize I ALSO need a mill!

Thanks for the inspiration, now if I can keep away that overwhelming feeling I get when I think about working on my stuff.

Jim
