Tractorman810 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 well this was bugging me all the way home on the bus today, stuck in a big traffic jam,so had to put my thoughts into plastic when i got home, not 100% on the side ram positions and deff need to get some slightly bigger wheels for it, but the basic idea is there, just needs to fine tune it ,bodys no where near done as i have been doing the high lift at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEBRITFARMER Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 To quote your signature "If anyone can tractorman can" :P :P I see many orders coming your way for these Sean FAB FAB FAB :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I think you have it cracked there Sean, the only thing I can see that might be wrong is how you have linked the scissor lift part..... I think they would normally be fixed top and bottom at the same end and the opposite end would slide in the runners..... you have it fixed at the bottom on each end. (does that make sense??)

Tractorman810 Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 yeah that does make sense jas, did wonder about that ,esay enough to change it round ,would it normally be the front thats fixed or the rear, guess it would be the rear looking at it infront of me, as that would make the laod more stable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I would say the rear for load bearing purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 no 10 mm flat head nails mate, 99p for approx 500 for a cheapo store round this way,cds,or the range as they are now called, just cut them down to lenght that i want for the rollers ect i drill out a hole through the chassis then cut a wider section to fit between the chassis, glue the arms to the end of the wider part,sit into place then slide a smaller part through the holes in the chassis from the out side to form the piviot point, almost like making the rams but not so big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 i will try out a set of tims ,they may well work ok,other wise i will have to hunt round toytrac,the mf200's are deff to small i feel ben as for more, i may be tempted to do a few if i can sort out all the niggly finishing bits on this one ok, like the lift arms ect, will let you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bahiafen Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Sean Look what i've started Couple of pointers, soory if people have already said but system so slow for me fix scissors at the bottom back end and pushfrom the from fix rams about 10% down from the drawbar on the bottom and about mid position on the top idelay bottom should be channel section and slider would run in that rams should be inside the frame 2 rams on the scissor and one for the body single set of marstons and voila you've built it for me saved me the bother Again top effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 mm get the idea with the legs, but the rams wont go inside the sicissor bit not enough space, the marston one shes based on has the rams on the outside of the chassis like tis,will move the lift rams back though when i re-set the arms ones fixed at the rear just not the other, but after a look it will stop the body sliding along over the rear of the chassis with the wheels on it,will have a play atthe weekend all being well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
