Hi all a little bit more progress done today I've decide to put galv sheets on the rear tipper body here is what I've done so far

It's not far from me that one

Nice dude

Nice looking machine buddy I do like the artic steer machines

Wow what a great collection

Looks nice buddy

John Deere I think mate

Good work norm nice idea mate

Cheers for the nice comments I'm putting new turf tyres on the front because I bought a pair on rims off the bay cheap , and I'm gonna put the same as what's in the turf trak on the rear for added traction here is a pic of the new tyres !

ring me any time mate

First test video of the newly fabricated tipping gear

Had a good day today on the toro with the help of Sam I've made the rear hinge brackets and pivot pins and also fitted the hydraulic rams to it , I did a test run and all worked fine I just now need to get the sheets for the floor and sides, I then removed hope fully for the last time to finish off the bell housing , then we refitted the engine and then continued to make some throttle linkages so now it revs up by the foot and hand controls , so I've had a pretty good day , I've now discovered I may have to put a header tank in to the cooling system because the radiator s now lower than the engine and it seems to be struggling with air locks and pumping issues so I'm hoping to put a raised header tank in the system to stop this ,,pictures to follow !

That looks fantastic mate top job

Oh my god you lucky thing !!!!

cheers chris

Wow mark great haul mate

Hi all I've been busy doing different things on the project ive sorted the wiring out it now starts on the key I've swapped alternators with the original Mitsubishi one as this had the extra terminal for the rev counter which now works I've got the temperature gauge done , I've also fabricated a drive shaft for the hydraulic pump , and I've now started making the tipper body out of box section here is a few pictures so far !

Can't remember the brand but I got them from unity tyres . Com

Looking good Nigel

The nearly finished article at one of my local shows lined up with its siblings

That's a brilliant looking machine Jonathan any more pictures of it looks like you had a good time Norm

Just a quick update as I've got numerous projects on the go and one of my last shows of the season this weekend I've managed to put some led Hella head lights on the front

cheers mark
