Project Mini Hägglund

[chilliwak]

Excellent:Wow1: progress on your new project Steinez! I am glad to see that you have a beautiful:Wow1: Subaru to make some awesome power in your vehicle! Before you know it there will be dual turbos on that motor and all will be good! Cool to see someone have the vision to make the project happen!

Twinturbos... :wow1: I think the 54hp are more than enough...

When i brought the Subaru home i was over the point of no return. So this has to happen...

Placed some stuff today, this is going to be tight:

This is about half of the wiring loom. That`s insane... :wow1:

I cant wait to see that 54hp:Wow1:monster come together...

Interesting project. What is your projected top speed? How are you going to deal with the potential balance problems associated with your unbalanced tracks? Tucker Sno-cats just adjusted their top speed on the 2000 XL to 16 mph due to this and other track/wear related issues. The top speed on our Pisten Bully's is governed around 15-16 mph, again for track issues. Our diesel Hagglund tops out around 31 mph in high range.

To be honest i don`t have any idea how fast this thing will go. But i think it`l be about 20mph for reasonable driving...

Any pictures of the diesel Hägglund?

I`m going to pull the engine out of the Subaru tomorrow...

Removed the engine today. Was a pain in the ***...

Looks like it`ll fit, i`m really happy about that...

Here are a few more pictures from removing the engine:

Also was able to have a look at a real Hägglund yesterday:

Got a lot of steel tubes almost for free:

About 20 shorter pieces are still in my van....

Also bought a saw, to handle all that stuff:

 

[24HOURSOFNEVADA]

Yeah, I can get you pictures of any part of it you'd like. What are you looking for specifically?

 

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Well, since i saw one in person yesterday i took pictures of everything i was interested in.

What i`m looking for is some information about the controls. Steering is with a steering wheel. Is it possible to lift the rear car? There`s a hydraulic ram that looks like it controls the up and down movement...

Is some of that pipe stainless or galvanized or something?

 

[Steinbruchsoldat]

A few of the smaller ones are stainless, a few of the bigger ones are galvanized. But most of them are raw steel..

 

[Steinbruchsoldat]

So, we parked the Justy for some good access to the axles:

Picked up the saw today:

After a bit cleaning, fresh oil and dialing in it runs like on it`s first day:

Bought it for about $200, the seller thought it`d be broken...
