Re: RELIANCE MERCURY 8001
Some pictures of the real thing which i have waited 3 years for it to come back into the country.Most of the build was done from memory.
Hmmm could only upload 2 pics,looks like i will have to resize the rest. A bit more of a insight into the real thing 4 wheel drive 4 wheel steer 4 steering modes,2 wheel front,2 wheel rear,4 wheel steer and crab Top speed 30mph Chassis assembled from 100mm plate in 3 sections each section weighing 7 tons,the sections where assembled on steel blocks approx 400mm off the floor,bolted,pinned and finally welded together. Cab bucket added and rear 4 ton ballast weight Engine,gearbox and axles added Cab fitted All air valves,pipes and electrics added Wings fitted approx 2 tons each Side ballast weights added 5 each side 1 ton each Fuel and hydraulic tanks fitted along with all hydraulic hoses Engine covers etc added Time to build start to finish in assembly shop 6 weeks,that is 2 fitters and a sparky I really loved my job and still consider these trucks as my babies Last edited by dadandlad; 02-28-2011 at 07:45 PM.
