Mog, what’s the back story to this machine?

Was it built for a specific purpose or was it an economic means to get an opportunistic yard find mobile again?

Mog, what’s the back story to this machine?

Was it built for a specific purpose or was it an economic means to get an opportunistic yard find mobile again?

I got the machine for free but needed a set of sprockets and tracks (totally worn out) so it sat in my field for a year or so then someone needed a final drive for a kh33 so sold him both
then I had a few days spare and decided to get it mobile
I didn’t need the machine so didn’t want to spend any money on it and as I had the axles though a duck was the way forward and a cheap fix the wheels came from the scrap yard for free too as did the transfer box which I fitted a hydraulic motor to

Now the ‘clever’ bit was the drive pedal in the cab I used the same spools as the two track pedals but joined them together with a bar that was off Center so as you pressed the pedal first one spool would got to full travel than as you pressed it more the other spool would then operate giving both sides of the pump to the travel motor, so had a two speed set up on the pedal then a little single acting ram with a spring on the end pulled the lever on the transfer case giving me a further two speeds

It work really well for a bit of an experiment but in the end cut it up and fitted the top half to a boat as a dredger as I needed one for a job I had and after that job sold the dredger and made a nice profit plus had the experience of fooking about with metal for a bit

Guessing steered from the blade lever ???

No the blade lever worked the blade
a set of pipes to one track motor went to the single drive motor then the other set went to the steering and the case drain pipe that used to come from the track motors was used to power the hi low range ram that I fitted

Sorry that went a good while back

 

[Mogman]

Bought a trailer last night 7’x14’ (I wanted 7’x12’)

needs to fit inside this when running back empty

so set about chopping 2’ out of it



then a bit of hot glue

got some galvafoid paint for the welded bits, going to move the axles forward a bit tomorrow and hopefully the new 12/24v lights will be here too oh and going to fit a ring instead of the ball coupling (for piece of mine while towing plus not many people have a jaw towing hitch so can’t borrow it)

 

[Mogman]

All done now 12/24v led lights all around

and a ring hitch fitted

Had to make a drop plate for the hitch on the lorry


See how it shapes up tomorrow

 

[DaveDCB]

Very tidy job!! … even a new tow bar, shiny!!

assume the dropper comes off easily for 'normal' running, or there's going to be some gouged roads about

What’s the intended use?

 

[V8Druid]

What’s the intended use?

think Mog said lightweight ducting for the air con units he installs

 

[Mogman]

Forgot to take a picture of it loaded but this is empty with the extra deck on the body installed

on another note after i‘d been to the end of the world last night I got back for dinner and finished this project

got the table from the ‘yard’ before the fire

then scrapped a few packing line conveyors so go the motors and variable drive units off

and a rather large four jaw chuck that I had laying around and came up with this powered and tilting welding table just need to make a couple of small wheels on a stand the right height so I can weld pipes etc.

I still think it’s so you can take up pottery!

What’s this fire I keep hearing about?
