I´m just trying to learn what's available and how this can be used when it comes to speed regulators. And about your modeling capacity, don't need to be sorry, I like this Autocar dumptruck a lot, you realy have the skills to make it look prototypical (like the front windows, fenders, grille guard ............).

Re: my first semi build (dump)
Hey Dan, I'll get you some info for building a big semi truck drive train. Hydrostatic drive is the ticket. I'm out driving over the road, be back to the house soon.
Cheer's, Neil. |

Re: my first semi build (dump)
That has to be the smoothest screw drive dump mechanism I have ever heard, or seen, run. Great job with that! Most howl and whine, when lifting, but yours sounds quiet and smooth. I'm sure it will handle whatever you can throw in the box.

Jason is a good guy that gives me lots of stuff to do that chalenges me as a new [and i use this word lightly] machinest. So the latest project is center caps for his wheels. Took some measurements off the wheel and then went to put it back on the front axle. Only to find that when it was tight the wheel is locked up. Took it apart and figured out the the total measurement of the two bearings and the sholder inside the rim were 0.022 more then the shank they ride on. Dam, guess i have to do some milling to his nice new wheels [no presure at all] So I took a peasce of scrap and made the bearing fit just right before I chuck up a wheel in the mill. After that I was sure it was right and took 0.025 out of the backside of the bearing sholder. Hot dam it worked just like hopped it would. Nice and tight but free to spin. Now thats the wheel works back to making caps....not yet. The snout on the front wheel stands out to far for the look jason wants. As you can see so does the axle stub. Cool something thats a no brainer. Just trim it down. lol. Back to the mill with the new wheels. By by snout. Time to make a cap. No picture of it but there is a releaf in the backside of the cap for the axle stub and nut. Heres the evolution of the caps I made with the right end one being the one Jason liked the most for the look he wants. In the end this is what they look like. Back wheels next time. Thanks for lookin Mike Last edited by Exile Trucking; 01-13-2013 at 06:10 AM. |

Re: my first semi build (dump)
good to see you on the forum Mike, and great job on the caps I can't wait to get them back so I can get the Autocar back together and get it hauling some loads. Mike has made me some awesome custom wheels and pieces for my crawlers over the years and now my caps for my Autocar wheels.

Re: my first semi build (dump)
Thanks Greg. Jason has made a very cool truck here. He has great skills and ideas. Its cool that I get to help out here and there with my mill and laith, and its always good to have to have someone else to bounce ideas off of. Between the both of us we can solve almsot any puzzle, or at least have fun tring.

Re: my first semi build (dump)
Welcome to the forum Mike. Nice job on the caps. Got any plans to start building construction models yourself. Great hobby, very relaxing.
