Dog just barks at it if one of his toys is in the bowl

I'm going to add some weight to the rear soon but not much because it will only take a few oz. to make it right. When there's a load of dirt,there's no problem. Yes I ordered some tires pictured above, but I want to make rims with a very deep dish like the 1:1.

Maybe after all the bugs are worked out,but it does add some character to a 59yr old toy.

Hi, realy nice dumper.

Do you have any detailed information about the size of the original?
Or photos or blueprints?
I like this simplicity of this truck. No hydraulic, no steering-servo.
great!
I would like to set up such dumper in 1:14, so my Komatsu has a dumper to load.
thanks for your help.

I have a operators manual on the Tournarocker. I will try to scan it and post it up soon. If you review one of Smallhaul's youtube videos; There is one working in one of Scotts Brownsville,PA show drive around vids.
