Looking great, but I'm kind of bummed it says your YouTube video is unavailable. Was looking forward to seeing it in action. Anyway the truck looks awesome keep the updates coming.

Well another week end shot trying to fix this flippin "JD" mill I took a small brake and worked on the pump just about done I need to make a shaft coupling yet .








the grapple base mounted except for bearing blocks at the base of the motor case ( hence the lip )



thanks for looking

Your makin' some cool parts Steve. Just wish your camera could focus so I could see 'em. LOL.

Keep us posted on the micropump when you get 'er running. Next move for me was going to be trying to gear it down a bit - never got the thing to run low enough amperage one to one. I put mine on the shelf for now but will get back to it some day.

thanks Joe the cam takes a back seat for now my wife does a better job , the problem is to get her to take some time to take the pics for me what RPM motor do you have ? I got a johnson @6600 rpm I'm going to try not much torq though ( I just noticed ) we'll see I'm not sure about being able to run this in ECMT meat on the 11th I got to get on a trlr frame and some other things till a new lathe comes ( well new to me )

Sounds like I have the same motor. I bought a Johnson 12V 6600RPM motor off ebay and also tried the 12V Johnson motor off my Leimbach pump as a test. They both performed almost identical. Labored real bad and pulled 6 or 7 amps (blew a 5A fuse almost immediately). If I remember correctly these Idex micropumps are moving about 5 times as much fluid as a Leimbach with each revolution so I think problem is too much volume. I was going to try a 4:1 gear reduction as next step.

Joe my pump on the shelf to for a little . it looks out of proportion to the truck so I think I'm going to try to get a micro pump from the Germans for this 1 . I have timing pulleys for 4:1 reduction as a stacked unit I plan to get together for my TD40B and the big mack if the UMS pump will not work for it

thanks Brian

I'm pretty much shelving my projects till I get some customers caught up except for somethings I'll use as a trial run on the JD mill . Like the frame pieces for the pup for this truck .



if it does these right then I'll feel comfortable running drop deck frames .

[ihbuilder]

last set of frames till I get a bunch of wheels out of my way

BTW : these have the ryco suspension built in









I'm trying to get these few frames out of the way before I tie up the mill on the 2nd op for WHEELS

Sweet lookin stuff!!!!!! Great design on the rails. Can't wait to see it all done

[Dreamweaver]

They look NICE Steve.. So do the A/C's. Question, are you drilling and taping the mounting holes in the a/c's?

"are you drilling and taping the mounting holes in the a/c's? "
Yes

thanks guys

[sneaky-pete]

Nice work Steve!

I shall call you...the aluminum whisperer

[Snowman]

those machined parts look great, really impressive work on the dot bumper, incorporating the mudflap mounts, too cool

[Dreamweaver]

Man I can't wait to see this trailer built..
