freddys steiger tractor/ loader project
 

i'm lucky to have the opportunity to get freddy's tractor/ loader project. i found the original build thread, but not sure if this was a one off or if he built more for others. does anybody have one? i also need a rear axle and 2 wheels and tires. pics when i get it in my hands.

GOT THE TRACTOR WORKING!!! removed some servo controlled switch, and plugged the speed control for the hydro pump into a channel on the radio that has a rotary dial, now i can adjust the speed all the way down to 0 if needed. also going to program some mixes that if the sticks are not moving the pump will shut off too. looking for a rear axle, thought it was semi, but looks like f350 (anybody have any in aluminum?). have to fab a trans, get some hydro hose (cause this thing leaks like crazy) and some other bits and it might be back to playing in the dirt once again.

Those grapples that accompany the bucket are nice

yeah they are pretty cool. little electric motor on the side operates them.

What's wrong with one of the axles, broken housing? Take a picture, I may have what you need... not in aluminum though.

I don't see any compression sleeves on any of the hydraulic hose connections, that's going to be a problem if you turn the oil pressure up too high, the hose will swell & push off the metal nipple.

thanks, it's an aluminum semi axle that Freddy ground a couple flat spots in to mount to the tractor frame. i tried a plastic version and it wouldn't fit tight, but i got a lesu aluminum one and it fits better. but i've ordered a couple lesu loader axles and wheels to see if they fit. can you recognize the wheels and tires in the pic with the white engine cover and all 4 silver wheels? i only have 2 and there's no marking on them. i'd like to get all 4 like in freddy's pics, but i may have to switch to lesu. unless this project becomes too much, i may have to sell it.

Re: freddys steiger tractor/ loader project
 

So the aluminum case is broke?

Those wheels look like militas that rc4wd discontinued years ago... why not just print your wheels?

And the tires look the same as what's on my Stahl Volvo A35 adt, maybe PMD has extras.

Re: freddys steiger tractor/ loader project
 

only thing wrong is i only have 1 axle and 2 tires.. lol i was thinking of trying a lesu loader axle and tires, but i'd have to get 2nd and redo the whole tractor. i'm not sure that's keeping it Freddy stock... i have another couple lesu axles coming to try out. i can get the militants if that's what's on there. edit: i have militants in my cart on ebay, but they are not what's on there, the lip is deeper and the bolts are bigger on freddy's wheels
