Evolution of the Hay Hauler
Ok so this is one of my longest builds ever so this may be a little spotty build thread but here we go.
Ok I first got this truck used off of Rc Universe and here is how it looked. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IM002662.jpg So as the Blue was no good for me I went with the color of a shop rig at the local Case IH Dealer. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IM002740.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IM002741.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IM002753.jpg |
Re: Evolution of the hay Hauler
Soooo needles to say i did not like how that looked either so it was time to go all out on it. Few years ago my uncle had a COE IH Eagle that had a flatbed and a 38 foot flatbed trailer it pulled with a pup and hauled the large square bails on it so that is the truck I went for.
So I started but tearing it down and putting it on KH rails and mounting a GD600 gear reduction to the rear of the gear box. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IM003419.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IM003416.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IM003415.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IM003420.jpg Next I built the flatbed for the truck out of alum and added a pine wood floor to it and mounted it to the truck http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IM003571.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IM003572.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IM003576.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IM003575.jpg |
Re: Evolution of the hay Hauler
Ok so the next order of biz was to take a pole trailer kit and lower it and make a dolly out of it. You can see in this pick if you look close I notched the rails and raised the leaf mounting brackets to lower the deck of the 5th wheel.

For the lights I used some Knight Hauler tail light parts. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...GlobeHitch.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...GlobeTail2.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2.../Globetail.jpg |
Re: Evolution of the hay Hauler
Next I bent a sort of headacke rack for the bed on the truck and made my first set of stacks for 1/2 alum KandS tubing.

Went with the same colors as the truck back at the farm and stained the wood on the deck and added a few detail. Keep in mind it end up changing things a few times..:D http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IMG_0021.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IMG_0023.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IMG_0022.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IMG_0056.jpg |

Awesome work, Paul. Another great looking that I remember from the old gt forum days. I still think the paint is sharp. That red is looks really nice. I never noticed the 'Haulin Grass' sticker on the back. :D Nice.
