Thanks Ih

The tools that I have are: Metal cutting bench top bandsaw, bench top drill press, various sanders and a good set of files. I do have a rotary table 4" that I used to mill the od of the center section. First time I used a rotary table. The setup was a pain, but it worked in the end.

Had some time today, first I resized the axles. easier then I thought it would be. I cut the axles and used a coupling to extend them. Tied the coupling to the axles with 4-40 set screws. The coupling is 5/16 diameter I had to drill out the inside of the axle tube to 3/8 for clearence. Was sucessfull on the first try

Just couldn't resist putting the axle in position. I used some temp wood dowels to align the axle to the axle support beam. Then I made the exterior attachment point. I must say I am pleased with the results.

So I wanted to see what it would look like with a wheel and tire on the end. I used an rc4wd 1.55 rock crusher tire(?) with a 3.5 inch dia.

This just inspired me to continue with more drooling.

Thanks for looking.

Made up another drive axle, still do not know what I will come up with for the input / output pinion covers. I need to make up the steering axles next.

Thanks for looking

This will be a long term project, I hope to start on the steering axles today.

Since the wether went south, I spent the time modeling the axles in 3d. Came out really well, and shows the way I changed the axle lengths.

Thanks SmallHaul

Had some time today, the weather is nice for once this last week.

I made up the rear steering axle. Using parts from a TLT-1 axle I had to shorten the shafts. Tied them togather inside the axle housing with a coupler, then locked in place with 4-40 set screws. Came out really nice, now I have to make the yokes.

Thanks for looking

Post Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000

I got a package from UPS today, containing the prototype diff covers. I first modeled them with Acad 2009 3D, then exproted an stl file. This file I sent to a 3D prototyping company for evaluation. Each part cost about 20-25 dollars to produce, but I now have casting masters.

I did do a temp fit-up, and found that the design of the bearing housing was missing needed reinforcement (exposed internal bearing). So I will have to redesign that part.

Since I did not request a specific color, the parts came in cream color ABS . I did not request a smooth finish due to the extra cost.

Over all the parts are as designed, so 3D printing has come a long way in the last couple years. The parts are a little rough with ridges about .003 inches apart and produces a really nice look (to me).

The service provider was fast with the production and shipped the parts the next day. I cant ask for better than that

So now you guy's have an idea of what the axles will look like when finished.

If you need to make a one off part for a master or installation I think this is a good alternative to machining for a couple of days.

I have started on the front spring assemblies but not enough progress to show.

Thanks for looking

Carl

3D Protoprinters are amazingly cool! Are you casting the diff covers in metal or something else? This is a very good build and your workmanship is great. Looking forward to seeing this thing move.
