New Project (Tank)

[Tippman Guy]

Well here probaly tward the end of september i will be continuing the Tank project. Currently i have new floors installed along with some new electrical things and a new drivers seat! However still needs alot of stuff done to it!... Electrical stuff is still beeing worked out and also working on installing a second starter and on off swich in the thingypit along with more cooling fans for the mortor and a fues box for all the other electrical components.



Above is a Picture of the new electrical stuff battery box and key for battery disconect...



Above the on bord air compressor is working once agien however in the prosses of fixing it i broke the air line so i will need new one... Not to mention a small hydrolic leak from the drive motor that i think only needs a new filter and more oil!.It just tends to drip everywere..lol



New drivers seat with a head pad for those ruff areas of the field!



And the most current issue is TIRES!... the weird size that they are is makeing it hard to find cheep ones...lol... but the old ones are well past time to replace... this one has a side of it blown out due to dry rot....lol...



Not to mention that the whole thing needs new paint on it!....lol... the turit is made but also needs paint on it becuse it is raw steel....so i store it indoors... however the cannon on it is more like a flame thrower (with water)...lol.. but still in development...lol...

you could just try & find some old rims & tires off an old ATV or maybe a large lawn tractor. that way the whole thing would be higher off the ground too. it not to hard to mod rims to fit a hub.
the next time at my farm Ill look around to see what I have that could work. what size is the bolt pattern on the hubs? from the pics it looks like 4 bolts, about 6 in apart. how big does the center hole have to be for the center bearing to fit the rim?

Well actualy i can not get any bigger becuse of the frame... and if i go any smaller the drive lever will drag so they have to be an exact size of what i need.... i found a set of rims and tires for $300 but still looking around.... dont have the extra cash right now for anything becuse of shcool starting up... thanks though!
