raildogg Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Not sure if it's the right place for this. I am thinking about doing a scratch build of one in 1/25th scale. I am the worlds worst net surfer and can't seem to find the over all width of one or even the common tire size. I have this though they use small earth mover type tires. What is a small earth mover? Every one I've ever seen is huge big man. So does anyone know what size tires are used on small earth movers? I must have a known dimension to scale the images I've used as references. HELP!!

raildogg Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 I have seen those spec sheets but they don't give dimensions or tire size. I think they may be a vehicle that has many user defined specifications. I may not find one measured example ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raildogg Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Almost. On that sheet, in the upper right hand corner, is one pictured very close to the one I want to build. A " U " frame tractor type. I have an image from the patent application I found on Google Images. The necessary information I seek is the very large rear tire. What are the dimensions, i.e size, width, height, rim configurations, that sort of thing. If I knew the outer diameter alone, I could scale my cad drawings and get the size very close to the real thing. I think this will make a fine trailer load, real big stuff!.
