highway Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 nice!!!! that would be "cast by" not "casted by" I'm nit picking your text not the truck I'd hope you weren't nit picking the truck, since it IS your design! I like the red, it really sets it off. What are you going to have it pulling? By the way, Leo, those wheels and tires look great, too. I LOVE those drives!

huffanpuff Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Like it! The wheels are the first I have seen done. I always wonder how they would come out I like the before / after look on the wheels. Hey I need that dozer for my trailer I am building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris guthro Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 That is one nice build. Any more progress on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul B Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 That is one nice build. Any more progress on it? Thanks. I have been slowly making progres. I will try to get some pictures up soon. My modeling and computer time greatly diminishes once Summer and fire season arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul B Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 Here's a couple of pictures of the IH9400 that I took a month ago. I have made some progress beyond what you see here. I hope it doesn't take me a month to get new pictures up. I have been absent from my bench lately and have not been able to participate in any of the model groups/ forums. With it being summertime, vacations, and working for a department that is short staffed right now, I've been putting in a lot of time at work, 96-120 hrs a week. Work has also been busy. I have been to more vegetation fires this year than I went to last year and fire season has barely started. Call volume, plus recruit training, in service training, and on going projects have meant little down time or sleep at work and when I am home I am just flat out exhausted. So, I apologize for my absence and lack of comments on others work. I hope things will settle down later and I will be more interactive. In the meantime I am trying to squeeze a little modeling in here and there and trying to take advantage of the benefits of all the extra work.

Scalper Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Nice looking rig. she looks almost done. sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul B Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 Made it home long enough to get a little more done. The IH is almost done, a few little odds and ends left to finish up. With the tractor almost done I've turned my attention towards the trailer. I started with left over tub pieces from the gravel trailers I used for a gravel train several years ago. The tub is now stretched to 30'. The suspension is a modified Peerless log trailer suspension. Trailer wheels are the same resin repops of the IH 4300 wheels that are on the tractor. The rest of the trailer is being made from scratch and the parts box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Albion Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Paul, Excellent work! I really like that frameless trailer very nice. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul B Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 Thanks for the comments guys. Fortunately there was a very similar trailer at the ATHS national convention in Pleasanton, where I was able to get some good refrence pictures. You can find them in my Photobucket album by following the link in my signature line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
