Rear Assembly

Machining the rear section was completed this afternoon. As can be seen from the photograph, the rear section (that mates with the entire assembly) has been assembled & bolted into place. Beneath are the swivel mounts (with bearings press-fitted in) that will mount onto the rear & locate the rear hitch.

Hopefully by the end of the week the entire rear assembly wil be complete. Once assembled, testing of the platform can begin, with the drive mounts fully assembled and secured.

The final act of today was to set up the mill ready to machine the casting blocks for the wheels. If this is completed, casting of the wheels could be performed on the weekend.
