Neil the truck is a 75T compacity I'm guessing the rears , from what I can see on the brochure , in excess of 100,000 # these < I can,t put enough in the box to max them out . I'm guessing 200+# the tires will flatten till I get that much on it .

Very nice work Steve. I just got one of those differentials today to play around with. Might be a little big for my application though. Really nice detail with all the bolting of flanges on the pinion and the bearing caps on the beams.

WOW!! I forget to look in on this build for a few days and you go crazy with it! Those axles match the tires and wheels perfectly. Glad to see you have the mill and lathe programming down pat. Can't wait to see what is next

Looks great! Are you going to use rubber bushings between the frame/walking beam and walking beam/axles?

I finally made the pivot hanger for the rear boggy . I milled it out of 3.5 X 3.5 Alm bar . I'm a little to show the pics . If I have luck ( ha ) I'll be driving it around by next couple weeks
Pics









I always need more tools so a new cam takes a back seat

Looks great Steve. I have seen this thing in person and the pics don't do it justice as to how big this truck really is. The center sections of the rear axles are as big as a pop can. We need to get Steve to take some pics next to a recognizable object that most can compare the size to. Not to mention this thing is a piece of art.

Looking like you got the hang of machining pieces that look like castings. Kinda reminds me of some of my parts.
