KH Beam Hauler

[Bo Wallen]

The steering mod. Is all done, The extreme short wheelbase makes this truck to turn sharp, very sharp.

I also need to fit the Heavy Haul Push/pull couplings front and rear, and Plates has to relocate.

Air tanks and "battery" box also in the works to be installed.

More to follow.

[NRS91]

is that the motor pinion Bo?

[Bo Wallen]

NRS91. No, it's the first gear 13T gear with 300+ hours of runtime. still worked fine, I discovered the wear when I did maintenance. Figured it was time to replace before mayhem occurred. The gears have different pressure angles also, go figure. one has 14.5 degrees and the other has 20 degrees, Soft aluminum, and Glass fiber reinforced nylon. not the best combination I've seen.

Going to change that soon, very soon.

[NRS91]

Wow how odd!!
That gear also holds the input gear that runs against the pinion doesnt it?

Change the wheels and move the support legs back a bit.

I have the fifth wheel mounted forward for a better center of gravity and steering.

[NRS91]

Looking good Bo!
That B trailer is really neatly made!

[Bo Wallen]

Thanks, NRS91.Yes, it's very well made by Ian Gee. Now ready for some shows.

Looks good! Those sea cans would pop with some weathering I reckon!
Hopefully you will be able to come back to the UK at some point!

Thanks, Yes I will get around when the coast is clear. I guess the weathering comes automatically. Travel in suitcases will take care of that. I hope the UK in July is a go. and Holland in September.

Looks very nice! will be fun to backup!

[Bo Wallen]

Thanks, Kerst. Backing up is no problem. It's fun, and I like good challenges.

Snow and more snow = playtime in a warm cozy shop.

How many Michelin super singles fit in the 20-foot container?

[IMG]IMG_6582 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

[frizzen]

Great looking rig!

Any idea if those sea cans were production, or homebrew?

[Bo Wallen]

Thank's Frizzen, Hercules Hobby Cans, and trailers. Assembled and painted by Ian Gee UK. Tweaked by the Bo-Dog Logistic center coming closer, a few more units to create. P.S. The number of tires is 40 in one container.

[Lil Giants]

Busy Busy Bo, looking good

[Bo Wallen]

Thanks, Joe. Yes, I've got the urge back to move a few projects forward. How much forward resume to be seen. The logistic side of the fleet has to be in shape A.S.A.P. Here are a few pics of the doings.

Put more bolsters in for centering 32500kg 20-foot container in the proper position.

[IMG]IMG_6596 2 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

Box trailers need some tuning and proper ride height. This is just a mock-up to find the look.

[NRS91]

Are the heavy haulage fleet getting reworked into general haulage now Bo?

[Bo Wallen]

NSR91. No, they will stay Heavy Haulers — 4 new trucks coming for the general haulage. I used the Heavy dudes for the mock-up only. I needed to reassure to get the measurements in order. Now off to the cut and tap department.

[Bo Wallen]

The Globe General Hauler.
