steve b Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Looking good , have you got a casting supplier yet? theres a good company nearby to me that would be more than capable of handling the work, if you want the details I'll pm them to you ... It will be good to see it in the metal at the show Cheers Steveb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollythelw Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 are you going to be using the planetary gearbox on the upper shaft John? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl hurst Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 An update of progres so far, To get an idea of actual size i have put a 150mm rule alongside the casing, today carl and john have completed the 2 speed gear housing and fitted the gear train,we just need to finish a bit of milling on the main case and then that is finnished,ive got about a day on the lathe to finnish the fidley bits,the ones that take an age and it looks like you done nowt,I think we are still on track to test on suday but will see how tomorow goes,if not then it will be following weekend, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bull Bar Cowboy Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 An absolutely beautiful piece of work John & Carl,……….. B) Looking now, I am guessing that you used the original MM drive shaft to drive the Gearbox from the motor ……………. I am also guessing that you may have the MM gearbox in there as well ?

Ian Hi Ian for this prototype we have chopped the MM shaft shorter for speed and used the MM toggles only all the gears are custom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boothy Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Lads, All I can say I was totally impressed by the speed power and I worked a treat 1st time out. Flew through a lot of varied tests and I like it, I will upload a video of it through some deep sand and mud as soon as I find how to and the lead for the phone You will without question be impressed.

yella 90 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 great job guysm was very impressed obviously everything wasnt smooth as was 1st outing, but it was a good 1st time out for it anyhow shame we spent more time looking at the underside of twiggys bonnet when you making me one then dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro_Al Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Looks like a really nice job guys. Just for someone who doesn't speak 'winch'... What are the advantages of this winch over what is commercially available (H14 etc)? Just curious, sorry for the dumbass Q. Nice to see some proper machining. Cheers, Al.

I did also wonder this, if its using the same pump, motor and gear ratios as the Milemarker Type R, what is the point?? Also is it my imagination or is it bloody HUGE? Still some excellent engineering there, no doubting that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yella 90 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 from my view of looking at it, id say the biggest advantage is getting rid of the tie bars you wouldnt really need to worry about bunching abit like the 8274 but thats just in my eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boothy Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Its roughly the same size as a 8274 and I think it will fit where a 8274 will fit, Look at the size of the drum its huge and should hold a good length of some seriously thick rope, and like big green says no worries about bunching, which on its own is a massive advantage, it had about 70 foot of 12mm on yesterday and it looked lost on there.....(bit like me in Tesco's) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
