Mounted the track assemblies and put everything were it`s supposed to: Then i started with the frame. Leg room will be tight...

Thanks. I`ve always been jealous when i was in the US and saw all that cheap stuff. But yes, you get what you pay for, but a few things are useable... Finally started working on the Hägglund again today. I continued fixing the track assemblies, so the grousers won`t hit them anymore. First i...

Thanks guys... :smiley_drive: The belt sander really needed a spark/dust guard, so i made one today. Started with a barrel: Added some speed holes: Drive wheel guard: Removable grind wheel guard: Everything together. Needs paint bad: Also mounted my "new" grinder: This thing...

Thanks guys... Machined a new shaft today: Everything together: Works great:

Finished: Unfortunately it doesn`t work well with the 2 3/8" holesaw that i need, but works well with the 1 7/8"...

Started building a notcher: Will hopefully be finished tomorrow, then i can start the new frame...

This is one point but the main point is the missing rigid connection between both cars. Imagine driving on a slope and the rear car starts slipping downhill? How could you control that with brake steer? Really dangerous... They have open diffs and this is the only real disadvantage besides the...

This was replaced by a VW. Will be for sale soon...

Yes, when turning you`re loosing power to one track. Hydrostatic is the only real way for a tracked vehicle... No it won`t. I tried this with a 1:10 model and it works like crap. I also wouldn`t feel safe driving without a fixed connection between both cars. I wouldn`t be able to control it...

Don`t worry, this will take quite a while until it`s finished. I think at least 1-1,5 years to go... There`s no need to run it solo. Also brake steer is the worst way to steer a tracked vehicle and won`t work on a articulated vehicle... This is how it`s sitting atm: Time to start...

Hi, thanks for your post, i really like to discuss things... This won`t be possible, because there`s no way to steer the front car alone. It will be ram-steered, so it needs the second car to attach. I can`t steer the front unit by the brakes, with the added reduction the differential would...

This is called a transaxle setup. There are three outputs on the tranny. Front left wheel, front right wheel and drive shaft to the rear axle. Now i rotated the engine 90° so the left/right shaft go to the front and to the rear. The rear axle output goes sideways and is not really needed. It...

I just wasn`t happy with the chains any more. Shafts will be much better... Where do you see a problem to power the rear car? Left axle shaft goes to the front, right to the rear... Started removing the main beam today. It`ll be completely rebuild so the drive shaft is on the inside... Got...

They will be almost straight when finished... :coffee: Will be a lot more interesting: I`ll be sitting on the gas tank, on top of the drive shaft... :Wow1::ylsmoke:

Sad start today: But this will just be better: A few thoughts: The engine will stick out a bit more on the rear, but this will be covered by a hood. Should look similar to the fuel tanks on the BV206. Because of the driveshaft i can`t use my tank anymore. This is what bothers me...

Thanks. The updates are real time. First thing i do when i come out of the shop is to upload the updates. It`s all about priorities, i`m working every free minute on it. It`s like 8h at work and another 4-6h in my shop every day... While building the beltsander i had some time to rethink the...

We put in new breakers that shut off slower. Same amperage but other characteristics. When the motor starts turning it needs a lot more power than to keep it turning and this pike is what kept blowing the breakers. With the slower units it works just fine... Finished up the motor mount and belt...

That's it. It's the same word for both in german...

This will be converted to a sanding disc... Yes i do. Why not? Everything is fine and according to the law... One of the advantages if your dad is an electrician...

Started mounting the motor today:
