Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000

Sample rim came in yesterday, so I set up the rotary table and was going to install the dividing plate. Not the right reduction, this table has a 1:46 reduction cant use the dividing plate. Looked around the net for a 1:46 reduction chart no one seem to have one.

So as an alternative, I wrapped a 1/4 inch wide strip of paper around the rotary table to get the exact circumference, I then drew this up in AutoCAD and divided the legnth by ten with the divide command. Perfect, added an extra 1/2 inch to the length, plotted and attached to the rotary table.

This is the result, the bolts are 2/56 socket head cap screws. I did miss one hole by 1/2 a degree but it is not that noticeable.

So far I am happy. After assembling I found that I have to change the design of the inner hub to allow the locknut to seat properly.

At least I have made some progress.

Thanks for looking
