Looks good

Is the cylinder custom made ??

[hauler_10-4]

Great job Brian. Good to see your going with Hrydo's instead of a screw drive. Its so much more scale looking. What pump are you going to use? I need to find a mini pump for the folding disc i been building.

Jeremy, I am using the UMS pump. Its real cheap and works great for this application.

Amazing detail Brian......she's coming together nicely!

Brian, I really like the tank steps. Did you cut the vertical step uprights by hand?

That gear reducer fits pretty well. Glad to see it was the answer to your problems. I read your other thread, asking about it, with interest.

Brian;

I looked for the other thread on your gear reducer but could not find it. Is it for spur gears or belts?

Nathan, thanks, I cut those by hand, but I cheated. I found some material that already had the circle cut in it, so all I had to do is cut out the step bracket from it. It was a very time consuming task! I'm still not completely happy with the screws but I had trouble drilling/tapping anything smaller, so that will have to do... for now.


Thanks.
