RW, After seeing your measurements, I looked at the specs for the 785D and it appears you have it scaled 1/12. I am guessing your tires are about 17" wide.
I'm going to make the loading ramp above the flywheels and make a bigger hopper on the crusher.

Great looking model. Hard to believe it is scratch-built! Metal parts are always better!! No need to down grade this GREAT model with plastic parts. Aluminum, brass, copper or even steel always makes for better parts unless you are trying to save weight- NOT!!!!
