Hello Ari,

I should have expected this. Have been away from the forum for just some months and here is an almost half-finished (well, ok, some 20% maybe) ADT from you. Awesome as always!!! Excellent choice of model IMHO. Would build one myself if I wasn't too busy already. So that´s why I ask you where you managed to get the drawings I see in the background in some pictures? Seems to be from the spare parts catalogue.

Will follow this amazing build closely.

Stefan

Thanks Stefan,
those drawings are from Volvo Prosis Workshop Manual & Parts Catalogue DVD. There are plenty of them for sale on Ebay:

I started working with the front axle. First I made the a-frame
The front axle is mounted to the frame via a 3-point mounting system, consisting of rubber springs and shock absorbers.

I made the bracket for the rubber springs and shock absorbers. There's three absorbers on each side

It's looking more crowded with each update! Have you had to do any re-engineering yet?

I was able to start making the front frame and I also got the front axle mounted with the rubber springs.
As Lil Giants earlier said, it's getting more crowded each update and I can see now that there wont be much room lenghtwise for the drop box and drive shaft to the front axle Will see how short drop box I'm able to make

On the front axle and gearbox...
- flip the axle over so the input is at the front - may still have a problem with getting the drive to the rear though (not to mention if it goes backward).
- run the drop box in the rear, requires two drive shafts across the articulation joint.
not very scale options... but if you get pushed...

I am seriously jealous of the work completed to date... wish I had the skills, tools and time to do it. :-)

Cheers,
AP

I will try to keep it as scale as possible, so no flipping axles just yet

I made some progress with the front frame and also got the frame link bearing housing machined.

I started to make the articulated joint or rear hitch as Volvo calls the part. I will make it in steel and in one peace. It will be quite complex part to machine, will see how it turns out

Thanks guys

I got everything done in that upright position, so it's time to flip the piece over.
