Quadrotrac

[nick disjunkt]

Hi Steinez,

I thought that you might be interested to see that the British MOD is auctioning off a load of incomplete BV206 for sprares or repairs.

http://www.mod-sales.com/tender/listing.htm

Lots 107 - 136

My guess is that they wont fetch huge bids.

Hope this helps you.

Nick

If those frames/tracks were in the US I would so be all over one.

Wow, some cool looking stuff. If you had a million you could buy all you needed...:Wow1:

Would be really awesome to buy a Hägglund drivetrain... :Wow1:

Turned the missing axle bushing today cause the lathe already was a hell of a mess:

 

[chilliwak]

Stienez you ROCK!:Wow1:

Finished the second axle today:

Here you can see the movement of the axle:

Lowered the front car down on two skates:

Barely clears the garage door:

Made it:

Put the axles back on:

Close fit:

Overtaking the rear car:

Perfect fit:

Looks like everything fits:

I am so happy to see the Quadratrac on its way to a new home. Maybe one day it will come to Canada!:wings:

How are you getting on in your new workshop?

 

[chilliwak]

Any updates:Wow1: Steinez?

Sorry, i`ve been really busy with the new shop. To start from the beginning:

Bought a new bandsaw:

A new TIG welder:

Moved a lot of stuff around, in this picture the automated saw to make some room:

Then i brought in the new shaper:

Finally looked like something:

Then i bought a new mill and brought it home:

It`s really nice to have a huge crane that can handle a 5000lbs machine without any effort:

Now it`s filling up:

Then i started moving my stuff from the old shop in:

Filled the drawers:

Hired the crane again to bring the mill and lathe out:

Hauled the Quadrotrac to the new shop:

Got the mill all set up:

Resurfaced the new cast surface plate:

Then i started building a post mounted jib crane, that`s 4x4" solid stock in that saw:

And this is where i`m at today:
