All,
I am pleased to announce a summary of a John Deere Forwarder I built over a year
ago - but havent been able to post it until now. Approx 30 different views of
the design posted on Brickshelf. See link below
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=69144
The pictures start with the finished project and then gradually disassemble each
of the main pieces to reveal what’s inside. Sorry for some of the blurry
pictures. I will get them right the next time :-)
Some of the key spec highlights:
- full 8 wheel drive, with advanced portal-type boogie beams per wheel-pair
- 4 electric motors for all wheels, pneumatics pump, and crane (rotation), and claw (rotation)
- onboard battery box
- 4 speed gearbox - including reverse
- scale sizing
- 6 cylinder engine
- pneumatics cylinders for articulated steering (2), crane (4), and wood bunk extension (2)
- fully multi-axial and suspended articulated steering, with drive shaft
The core chassis design was quite demanding due to its compact size and advanced
transmission, and integrated suspension system. It took may attempts to get the
basic structure in the right place. Fun stuff!
Here are some links of the real thing:

| Wow! That things is amazing! I especially like the rotation and "hinges" for the claw mechanism and the extending boom. The steering systems looks solid, I've failed quite a few attempts on creating one of those in the past. Will certainly look at (...) (20 years ago, 10-Feb-05, to lugnet.technic)
