Carp, I have two 4206's, one has 3 valve hyds, the other has none.

Tom, stick time since 2002, indeed all good fun.

Been working on a new B50 with a pup this winter. I went with brushed motors in this one, it'll run a little quicker than the old one with brushless.

























The old B50 needed some attention a few weeks ago, had to pull the pump out to tighten the belt.

Fast?! What are you being funny? I'm not fast, I got these 3rd week of July, spent a week degreasing all metal parts & painting so paint could cure fully while I do my harvest... threw my back out the next week & couldn't do much anything for 8days, leaned on my neighbor to load out 5B's for me & do some desicating on peas, got through harvest ok by myself, but my lower back issues have bugged me all winter, couple hrs in the shop a day hunched over working on projects is all I can handle... turning 50 this yr, feel like 80 most days.

Anyways, just about done with this adt & pup

I made a valve divider block from brass for the pup







This dump cyl was on the trk, right side... the flexible hose going to the "T" I think I made it a bit too short, box going up/down - changing angles tugging a bit on this fitting broke it loose from the tube. Pipe goes up to top of tube & broke loose from that soldered joint... buffed the paint off, resolder, repaint, put it on pup after dinner today.





Got the box on the pup, put oil to the cyls



This is where the connection is for the pup hyds



Got a leak, hoping I just over tightened the fitting & crushed the seal too much... put on a new fitting with some thread seal... give a couple hrs to set & try it again.



Made up some exhaust pipes from 5/16 Plastruct tube for this adt & the others



This air cleaner is 3D printed, used an 8mm magnet to hold it place for pictures & filming, leave it off during regular use so it don't get so dirty.





And I'm motivated to get busy putting this WA500 wheel loader together next, it's only 4yrs next month that I've had it ...been using it for spare parts on occasion for other models that needed repairs, still missing a couple parts that'll hopefully show up next month.



Degrease the cyls today & paint them yellow




The drive belt on my lathe is toast ...having a hard time trying to find one locally.



I was looking on https://www.mcmaster.com/#drive-belts/=1booul2 (I see the link won't go directly to page I was looking at; it's the T5 series timing belt) My operators manual gave the dimensions 124 x 1.5 x 15 which is metric for teeth - depth - width When I measure the length I get 584mm & pitch is 5mm

Gonna be one of these 3 belts ... would the difference in lengths compared to # of teeth be b/c of belt thickness?

T5-575-16 575 115 5 Urethane Gray -13° to 176° 1679K518 9.10
T5-610-16 610 122 5 Urethane Gray -13° to 176° 1679K545 9.51
T5-630-16 630 126 5 Urethane Gray -13° to 176° 1679K522 9.51

Got er done... well except for the decals & a couple of other bitty parts that'll show up in a few months.











Missing the fuel cap & fuel drain plug









Off to get the 1st load



Start painting the cab on the old B50 shortly... more than 50cy hauled in the last 3yrs











Trying to pull the steep grade with pup in tow, the rims on the tandem axle were slipping bad in the tires, I had to pull hard by hand to get the truck up the hill... I really hate gluing tires... not sure what this gasket maker goo will do, smeared it on today, see what it's like tomorrow.







Broomed off the ramp, nearly 5 gallon of clay powder/dust, very slippery. Road is wearing down bad!





Soaked the roadway with water, sprinkle on the fines, soaked it some more, rebuild the surface to make it smooth. Lay down some asphalt to protect the surface.



The fines pile grew a lot in the last week!

Now that is a lot of goodness, and hard work done. Really enjoy watching the progress a lot, and with new machines on the plant new challenges shows up. Heavy traffic can put some roads on a test for sure. hope you can adjust for a smooth haul road and get it where it needs to go. I could not resist to mess with one of your pictures.........a drone pix of your site....looks like so 1/1
Hope you don't mind i did this.......[IMG]Gianr by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]
Looking forward to vids....crunch crunch.

Really nice work on the new truck Joe. I was curious how the dumping would work with the pup but now I see.

Did you just zoom the pic Bo? It does look moreso 1:1

Thanx Tom. The dump area is almost too small for this combo.

I do have a 2x25 Sabertooth in the trk & a power wire coming from the cab Greg to put power to the axles on the pup, don't really want to b/c cornering makes it act weird... I have some hubs with one-way roller clutches that I made up for the 8wd 4206 cross dump, but took them off b/c I discovered I sometimes needed 8wd in both directions with that rig. I can't make that alteration till I get my lathe working again... ordered belts from McMaster yesterday... the slow bus through customs.

Thanx Brandon, I like it too... get this rim slippage problem solved, then hammer down!

A vid showing the 963 leveling the fines pile, had to reload the vid b/c the original kept pausing for reasons I do not know
