here's the link to the pic of the complete assemblies when they were still in the yard i bought them from
http://community.webshots.com/photo/...53353449qWxmOz i will pick the rest up one day as it's still at the yard, just need to get my crane truck on the road first. i went down yesterday with a labourer and fitted the bogie assemblies (in the rain) things didn't go too well as i ran out of oxygen for the gas axe, broke the only grinding disk we had, couldn't get a weld on the hull as the stick welder wasn't up to it and the plates i had manufactured didn't line up with the bolt holes on the bogies but apart from that it was easy  anyway we got it done, just need to get a welder genset and fix it to the hull properly then it'll be time for the crane and flatbed and the 100 mile trip to manchester, once it gets here the pressure to move it soonest will be off and i might be able to enjoy this hobby for a change !rick ps. too late hanno they are fitted now, i will let you know how it goes good or bad i'll put the pics up. lynn i've got a 800 kg hitatchi, belting little digger and fits in the back of my van.

I guess if it doesn't spew the rubber out, she'll do the job.
I was picturing a slightly larger digger...... about 30 ton......I don't know why.  Just looked at the original set up. I'd say it was for moving power poles

ok shaun so this begs the question, who will be the first to make a carrier tracked trailer and will the rest of the carrier owners from the forum ride round the arena in it at beltring (in pink mankini's).
 just had a thought better scrub the mankini's incase people think we're a french army re-enactment group.rick
