Even een update voor de liefhebbers ,
we hebben alle tijd nodig om Wierden te halen , dus de website is niet
echt bijgewerkt.
Foto gemaakt op 8 mei , spuitwerk bijna klaar, we zijn aan het opbouwen. |

Dit is de koppeling , een 4 plaats centrifugaal
11" , gemaakt door Adrie v/d Veeken
(Wickie Power) , hopelijk gaat het wegrijden
nog controleerbaar. |
|
Building still in progress ,frontweight
carrier
finished , with a drop , steering system
is now hydrostatic , we are waiting on our
11" clutch , all should be ready for inspection
in Ahoy.
Cooling system is electric and our intercooler
system is again connected.
Battery box is ready , to handle 2 pcs Optima.
That makes it possible to skip the alternator.
We still have faith that we will be ready before
May 20th. |
|
The hitch is finished and built
to ETPC regulations.
Also the wheely bars are finished. |
|
Rh side finished with footplates/pedals/fender.
The spacers give us much more room to work! |
|
This is the final result with
the spacer fitted.
|
|
As we have trouble with our
footplates and pedals we decided to make a set of spacers ,
The tread is being made by Lesley Poetoehena , from
Whispering Giant. Thanks!
This is how Lesley looks after 32*M18 holes! |
|
It's on 4 wheels again , we are
now preparing the
hitch&wheely bars.
We are really suprised by the size of the 24.5*32
they are real "mickey mouse" size.
As we were used to 38" wheels , the tractor looks much
smaller.
We specially thank the "Seaside Affair team" for
their help in shipping the wheels. |
|
As you can see a lot of grinding
and welding took place.
A very solid construction we think.
|
|
This is Siems masterpiece , the
tiebars.
A lot of handcrafting is put in it , but the footplates
fit on it and the pedals are working |
|

|
This week we hope to
recieve the rear wheels
then it is rolling again! |
|
A lot of hours again , finishing
the front axle bracket,
but again we like the result!
|
|
In Zwolle we scored a stainless
steel fuel tank , this
tank already has some experience overseas as it use
to feed Allisons.
Our special thanks to the Bandit team , who was so
kind to sponsor us with it.
And Gerro Haan for the help in this matter. |
|
ROP completely finished , Siem
is making a testride.
As you see , power steering + real dutch wooden safety shoes.
Wooden shoes Rocks!!!!!!!!!(says Siem)
|
|
Picture of the RH side , we will
keep the shell fenders
next is building the front axle. |
|
Picture on the 7th of Januari ,
ROP has 3 stands
now , chassis building in progress |
|
Sofar finished , our supplier
for the bended tubes
made a mistake so not all tubes were delivered.
Another Left to right tube will be added. |
|
The 1st tubes in its place. |
|
The start of the Rop being built
, all the loose tubes
have to be matched. |
|
Here you see part of the diet ,
empty lift cover made
place for a steel plate to have the ROP beiing
welded on. |
|
This is seamless pipe we got
from HCC in Middenmeer |
|
The extension plate is being cut
in cooperation
with Martin van Echteld. |
|
We got in contact with Rob
Polson who wanted to sell
his rear wheels with tyres ,so we are now the proud
owner af a set of Midwest wheels and Firestone's
All traction 23° single cut 10ply.
So the rear wheels you see on this picture will
be fitted under the 8010.
