Hi Brian,

Have been thinking about using those micro gearmotors for the drive in my Liebherr 574 Loader - how do you find them ? I would be using four - one on each wheel.

Thanks for the link Brian, I have found them from a UK ebay seller ! Are they any good ? Do they have enough power to move the Cat with some weight on it ?

Did you add a pintle hitch on the triaxle so you can pull a 25T tag-a-long?

LOL! Maybe Steve. I hope so anyway. As for the itch, not a bad idea , maybe on the nest truck.

No problem, it seems to have a good bit of power. I would have liked to use a bigger sized motor, but I was afraid I wouldn't have the room.
