Well, that stuff is worth more than my whole mill and accessories for it... Good that i didn`t pay the regular price...

Those bearing mounts are designed to be welded on, so the welds should hold up good, either way it`d be a bad design flaw from the manufacturer... Got some nice carbide tooling and cutting heads today: Made an arbor for the cutting heads: Those are some ************* awesome tools:

Finished the floor today. There`s enough room now:

Thanks guys... Enlarged the leg room a bit today:

Bought some steel today: Thn i made a mount for the front differential: Added a skidplate: Finished:

First i finished the coolant catch thing today: I almost can`t work on anything until i get the hydraulics figured out, so i fitted the gas tank today: Then i finished the shifter: If everything works out i`ll have the following controls: Small steering wheel for steering...

Finished the new coupler mount: Coolant is to cool stuff, right? :D Tacked it on: Everything back together: Then i wanted to start with the bumps: The lower two should be straight forward: But the upper ones will cost me some sleepless nights... But, i also have to add two...

Thanks for the idea, but i decided to redo the whole thing. First i cut everything off: Found a 3/8" plate with the right size: Slotted another one: This is how it`ll go together: Started welding it up: Also made a coolant catching thing for the mill:

Started with the steering today: Milled down the joint for the ram: Cut off the rear mounting point: And welded the two joints (what`s the right word for this?) on: Looked for a place to mount it: And started plating the mount: I think i should built something to catch the...

I own it. But, i`ll move to Canada in a few years. Not sure what to do with all that stuff then, probably going to rent a container and ship it or something like that... Big day today, because i finished the articulated joint today. First i machined the parts for the rear vertical joint...

I don`t think this would work, because if you cut off the kingpins there`s nothing holding the knuckle in... Finished both mounting flanges for the rotational joint: Drilled some holes and tapped them: Then i started with the rear vertical joint: Had some help from...

I can cut them off and weld on new ones, just like they do it on heavy machinery. But i don't think i'll ever have to replace them...

I always wanted a vertical mill and just bought the horizontal one because i didn`t have enough money for a vertical one. I planned to build a vertical milling head for it, but now i just love this thing and never needed a vertical one... And yes, i probably going to buy a TIG too... Today`s...

Hmm, next tool on the list is either a oxy/ace setup or a plasma cutter. Or something else i can get a good deal on... When the Hägglund is finished, and i guess it`ll take me at least another year, then i`ll start the next, improved version... Today i started with the piece that connects the...

First i wasted lot`s of time trying to build a demagnetizer. Well, it doesn`t work yet and i`m pretty pissed off about the wasted time: Then i started builting the front one of the two missing joints that allow articulation in the vertical plane. Tacked on the joints: Then i machined the...

Just the good old stuff...:ylsmoke:

First idea was to build something like a 2 link, but that wouldn`t work... Built a cooling system for my mill today:

First i built some shelves for my steel, so i`m actually able to find what i`m looking for. Maybe...: Then i continued working on the rotational joint. Both outer discs finished: The one in the middle: Assembling: I have no idea if that works or not. I guess i`ll find out...

Not much to show, just lathework to get the parts for the rotational joint ready: Also bought about 400lbs of steel:

Came up with the idea of a big thrust bearing for rotation between both car`s:
