Deerepower Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I didn't like the fixed front axel on the truck so I converted the front steering axel (and fitted the newray wheels to it) off a britains truck and fitted it to the newray truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akey Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 That working steering really makes the truck! As for "Hiabs".........they seem to be scarcer than hens teeth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deerepower Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 That working steering really makes the truck! As for "Hiabs".........they seem to be scarcer than hens teeth! found a model unimog with a hiab on it today at a caboot sale and is about the right size so doing a bit of mods to fit it, not a bad hiab the legs pullout and go dowm like the real ones and I've altered it so you can fold them backwards in transport postion for extra ground clearance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deerepower Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 The Hiab looks the "dogs b*****s"!......... nice piece of kit, pity they cant be bought "of the shelf" cheers mate I've looked all over the unimog for who makes it but can't find a thing. I've now removed one exhaust so it sits better now when it's folded up and removed the spare wheel and refitted the fuel and air tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihatepoundland Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I like the steering a lot, clever stuff. Coincidentially, I also have a M.A.N truck with a hiab, well technically an Epsilon, I took it off of a siku log trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deerepower Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 cheers 1HP the steering makes it better in my view can now have it looking like it's turning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 The steering makes it mate, working on that myself as well as and when I can between other things. As for HIABs, rocking horse sh** is the term I am familiar with so a lucky find with that mog mate. Good one chap. Now get back to the ag machines and leave these trucks alone will ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
