Mack M75SX

No I did not stop I got some nice end mills yesterday and spent last night and tonight making the front axle and rear spring hangers for the front .
I also got some aluminum flux for welding aluminum with the torch and it works real well . So looks like I'll be making the cab in aluminum works just like brazing
I hope you can see these

OK, you will say I'm a "rivets counter", but the M75 had a tubular front axle ! So I propose you to send this one to me (will fit perfectly for the LRVSW) and make a new one with the correct design

I know ,Papy I sometimes throw my own twist to things the body is off a lil to I think I got the rear taper to long . I was going to do the tubular axle but I just felt like milling an I beam front . I may do another but as a tractor but thats a lil while yet . I think I got enough going for now

With hubs drying waiting to be put together to finnish this order finally I stole some time on the lathe and turned out 1 rear housing







and dabbled a little bit here and there on some of the cab
