First i improved my notcher: Then i started building the articulated joint... Further mockup, could work along those lines:

Started building the articulated joint today. I`m going to build this first before i place the radiator, exhaust and stuff... The bearing for the left-right-motion will be made from a wheel hub. First i trimmed down the brake drum: Was able to remove a broken bolt with my mill: To...

It doesn`t have to be up high, but it only grows on special places, considering sun/shadow and temperature. You have to know where to look for them... Parts of it. We also followed maps from 1915/16. It get`s more interesting if you`re away from all the paths... Well, there a no huts where...

Thanks. I really just wanted to build a Hägglund, but now i`m happy about my tools too... Put the mill at it`s final place: Added a light: And built a dro for the x-axis: Also got this angle block and machined the edges:

First i finished the seat mount today: Then i started making some room for the mill. There`s a before and after pic each: Then i cleaned all my new tools and stuff from the anti corrosion oil: After that i picked up my "new" mill. Loading it on the trailer: Arrived at home...

Not sure but i think it`ll come in handy all the time. But for now i`ll use it mostly to notch tubing... Thanks man, i just came back from holidays. Report here: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/72841-Steini-s-travels/page2 Reconnected the chassis to the frame today. Front...

Then we headed down south to the "Lago di Garda". Still looking for relicts from the first world war:

Just returned from a trip to italy. First was some skiing at "Stilfser Joch": Some italian roads: Then we left for a two-day hike along a supply path from the first world war. It was higher than 10500ft elevation all the time:

Yes it was replaced. The L300 did get a really worse fuel mileage. The VW is bigger and needs about half the fuel, it also is a TDI. Has also a lot better towing capabilities for towing the Hägglund...

Looks like the Chevy get`s some more love this year... What`s the problem with the rear differential? I hope nothing substantial?:Wow1:

Unfortunately not, but it think i`ll build one... Made the front driveshaft today: Also made a cover for the belt sander because it kept shooting sparks in my face:

Damn, i just don`t have time to work on the Hägglund if i continue buying machinery:

Started working on the Hägglund again:

Man, i wish i could be travelling with you. Have fun and make sure to greet all the people i know...

Tool time again: :wings::wings:

Yes i do. But i already postet this for sale, because i want to buy a mill...

I think i`ll try it with a press... Worked on the frame. Nice to have a notcher: Start of the rear spring mount: Then i built a new notcher:

Started with the new frame today: Spring mount: Start of the engine mount: I need to flatten out the front spring a bit. Any ideas on that?

The cog is actually pretty low, ist just looks very high. The weight distribution is also really good, there shouldn't de any problems. I also was able to lower the engine a bit with the new design...

I could mate the front diff outputs to the drive sprockets with the shafts easily. Problem is the placement of the engine. I can`t put the engine in the front and i can`t put the drive sprockets in the rear. So the power needs to be transfered across the vehicle from the rear to the front...
