Diamond T and Trailer

[Dennis Jones]

I am sure Gill won't mind me sneaking in a few photos of our project. Still very much in early stages, tractor unit will pull 2 adults no problem. Total length is
9ft 6" or 2900mm. 24 wheels on trailer 10 on the tractor. Rear axles from 2 mobility scooters (complete scooters £50 each with batteries) front end off a 4 wheel scooter.

What can I say, excellent work!

You have given me an idea, but I don't think my wife will give me her mobility scooter.

Dennis,
Great project! You have a good start. The tyres look great, perfect size. Would love to have a truck transporter like this. Keep us posted.
Best regards,

A few more photos of the trailer and two videos (not very good quality). Including the weight of the truck, trailer, tank and concrete block I reckon we are pulling about 450 lbs (200 kg). Still very much in prototype mode though.

Hi John,
Hopefully we will have something ready for Tankfest in June. I expect your Firefly will be up and rearing to go by then !!!!
Have you sorted some R/c gear yet ? There will of course be a small charge for transportation (joking).

Will it pull my Tiger.

[Dennis Jones]

Hi John,

Pulling the weight is no problem it's just fitting the Tiger on the trailer might be an issue as the trailer was made for English & American tanks and had a 40 ton limit but we will see what will fit on it when finished.

That will be one cool rig. I love the Diamond T. If I could score me some tires like that I might have a go at building one too. Keep us posted on your progress!
Best regards,

Looking more like a truck now. Anybody out there know the best way we can do the louvres in the Aluminium bonnet ?
