hey everyone here is my bulk feed tanker its 90% done it needs some little details too it. so i wanted to show it off once again as really my only secound scratch build i learned alot from it and will use it for the next one. i printed the decals at home i applied them about 5 times and tried every way thats posted on here and couldnt get it too loose the outline of the hole cut out decal

i sprayed the truck in a dull coat instead of a clear coat, becouse the real trucks after the first month dont have a shine to them. they never get waxed or cleaned right. and i wanted to get that in paint and even down to the hazed over look on the rims.

this kit started out as a snapper 359. i streached the frame moved the fuel tank to under the door and added the steps myself.

the orange box beside the steel color box with black fan is the blower, a p.t.o spins this to make air and blowes feed out the pipe in the rear of truck into the bins at farms, the box is to cool the hydrolic oil to truck. when feed isnt blown its unloaded via the over head auger system.

as you can see i plummed every line for the oil lines to operate the booms. thats contained in the control box at the left rear by upright auger.

the tank is a 3inch piece of pvc pipe the drop axle is made from scrach parts from another snap kit 359 . the big boxed half way back are called bag boxes(the 50 pound bags of feed get put here ).

ok anything else you wanna know just ask, im sure there is more to tell once its 100% ill post final pics but like i said i wanted to show it
