IH5900i heavy haul tractor

ihbuilder · #1 08-13-2010, 08:20 PM

since I built my detachable to haul my pans (scrapers) I needed a truck that looks like It can handle it so here's what is on my mind http://www.truckpaper.com/listingsdetai ... ID=2361583
So far the cab is roughed in and being shaped along with details added . Chassis is almost done . This will have my much loved 10 holes on it

. enjoy

decided to put an interier in so had to put the electrics somewhere

here you see the lift mech. for the pusher the carrier bearing and all the other little details I made

thats it for now will do more later

thanks for looking

I know I've told you before Steve, but I really like this truck. The grill turned out great and I like your suspension. Looks like you are waiting on airbags now? Always good to be reaching the home stretch with a project.

Quite the transformation from the first post, really coming along nicely.

The grill looks great, Steve! The rims are really nice as well. I'm curious how you made them. You must have a lathe too. How do you drill the holes and get them perfectly spaced? You must have a manual turntable?

Steve this is coming alone nicely. Ed

Thor , Nathan , Ed thanks
Nathan ,yes I have a very old 14" lathe .I want to get a cnc tool room lathe with a 2.5" spindle bore

I had a fixture made up for me . so I can make 10 , 5 , and 2 hole for now . the 5 and 2 hole steel I used to oval the holes with a mill cutter in my dremel

I did it again on the light buckets and just about took my leg of

but it was worth it
