IH 9670 Trailer Toter "Paint Done"

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Well with freddys help he has me talked into Hydros to run the pogo stick on the rear of the truck so looks like Ill be ordering some parts..

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Ok I got some of the trim work done today you can see here

Before


After..Now it matches the bottom of the cab I also trimmed it out around the top of the sides edge.




Also I copyed the way the mirrors were mounted in a pick of a real one and I made them out of brass and they slide out to a width of 16 inches..

In..


Out..


Now I was working on the lift hitch for the back tonight BUT I burnt up my old Dremel cutting some Alum so I am stopped for the night till I get a new one tomorrow but I plan on having the lift hitch done this weekend..

Looks good Paul , don't give up on the dremel I did that a couple times . pull the brushes make sure they slide . mine gets stuck when it gets hot . sometimes you have to pull it apart and clean the ( don't know the part name) section where the brushes are so it's a nice shinny copper again .

Paul if it's all right - I'm gonna have to sue your mirror mount idea - Ive tried to solder my mirror brackets to the tube twice and broke every time.....nice engineering!

Overall looks really good - I'll have a nice suprise for you come St. Louis!

Thanks much Chris and yeah i have no prob with that I just used the idea off the 2 picks of the brown toters above that is how they are mounted on them. You cant see it in the pick but I have 2 1/4 pieces of brass soildered on the back and then the screw for the windshield screws into it.

I got most of the Jack made tonight for the back of the truck.. It will be able to lift around 4 inches or better high. It is built out of alum and then has a derlin shim on the inside so it slides freely up and down. I will have a spring pulling down and use a winch hid under the be to pull up one the sled the hitch is hooked too. So here is what i have..

Lynn there is no metal to metal the alum slides in derlin..and I am not doing the side to side no all of them have that and some don't even have the lift!

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Yeah some of us dont have 1/2 a mill to throw into a truck for Hydros..

[FreddyGearDrive]

Don't need hydraulics.

hey Paul nice trailer toter

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Ok so last night and today I got the pogo stick finished. I got the winch all set in the truck and I ran the cable threw break line to the back of the truck then up and over to a brass pulley. I ran it on a dead 6 cell pack and it has enuff power to lift the nose off the ground so it works real well I am trying to down load my video off my Black Berry but is not working to well.. I also made a mount for the R2 tranny and mounted it and the steering servo so not some more details and so minor body work and it will be ready for paint I am trying to have it done for the club meet in a few weeks..

Top view of the winch you can see the break line.


Under Side you can see the break line and the brass clamps i made to hold it in place.



The finished Derlin hitch and ball.
