IH5900i heavy haul tractor

Smaller tanks are common on the short hauler trucks - or company trucks......but Big tanks would clean up the space - unless you add a step section ........ she's looking better and better each time you post..

Izzy , I have 1-1.75 dia that would fit nicely I just need more strapping and I have to wait till I get more tank mtrl. to make 1 more . I think I'll leave the hydro tank smaller though

And thanks guys

[Slick]

That rig looks sick!

[ihbuilder]

months ago Brian asked me to make center mount wheels for his tri-axle . of course I had to have them too so after he posted his 1st ( since it was his idea ) here's mine + changed out the head ache rack







thanks for lookin

[Espeefan]

I have always liked your wheels, Steve, but I like that headache rack even more! That is really nice. Did you make a die to bend the reinforcing ribs on doors on the cabinet like that, or just wing with a sheet metal vise grip?

thanks Nate , the doors are my 1st attempt at 3D milling now that I know for sure I got 10K spindle ,it'll go faster

I like it Headache rack looks cool too, very sharp detail. Makes me want to build a daycab tractor just to be able to mount one of those on the back too!

[Brian in PA]

Lookin good Steve!

[SmallHaul]

Looks great Steve. Very professional.

[Espeefan]

3D milling? Wow, no wonder they look perfect!

[pugs]

Looking good Steve. You'll find even a 10k spindle feels way to slow at times... mine is anyway.

That headache rack is a real big ticket item. I wouldn't mind one of those on a future truck.

Very nice update Steve. Your parts are top notch.

[glorydays24]

Yes sir Steve, I agree, the headache is off the chain.
That look's really good behind the cab.
