HENDRICKSON HEAVY DUTY PULL TRUCK MODEL PROGRESS

HENDRICKSON HEAVY DUTY PULL TRUCK MODEL PROGRESS

This picture shows the shape of the frame and the flatbed with the dovetail and the rear tube . You can see the hooks, lights , mudflaps in place and the rear swivel hitch. Below the frame you can see the left side fuel tanks and the ladder . The top railings are also in place in this picture. The picture below this one shows the front angle. Next on this project I will start designing the cab .
Jason Hasert and the Hopkinsville, Kentucky visit to the Garnettes Farm Video. We did not get it quite done.
SNOWY MORNING IN GAYLORD- We got a couple inches of snow the last couple mornings and this morning it has been snowing steady and we got about 3 more inches. So it looks like I will go get the tractor after lunch and do some plowing.
SNOWMOBILING IN GAYLORD- I will also get the Ski-Doo out and go for a ride for the fifth day in a row. This will be my ninth day of riding it this winter. So I am getting a little enjoyment out of it after all.
OFF ROAD TIRES FROM GERMANY ARRIVED – I ordered 24 tires like the ones on this truck model at the Indy show in Aug. Yesterday the UPS driver delivered 12 of them. I guess the other 12 will arrive some other week. So now I will have ten tires for the Terex Titan Haul Truck that is on my list of projects to build this winter. They are very cool looking tires. I also used this style tire on the last LeTourneau L-1800 Loader model I built. I plan to also build a Michigan 675 Loader with them when I get more of them.
I put in a new order yesterday for 24 more of them. Tires are very hard to get as you can tell. It has taken almost 6 months to get these 12 tires and rims.
