2/5 scale M60 tank move has been completed.

For only having 1/2 h.p , it rolled into place pretty good.

2 seperate moves too keep the 2x6 supports under the tracks.

One of the things that is in the way for the Hobbit Home Build, is the home made 2/5 scale M60 tank.

Unfortunately, i do not have a 12 volt starter battery to start the gas engine with .....

Hmmmm ... 🤔🤔🤔🤔

I do however have an ebike inspired mini portable power plant...

Spent the last 5 hours trying different configurations, and after putting all my toys away for the night, will be attempting to move this thing out of the way in the A.M.

I'll be darned ! It works. Noisy transmission without the engine noise thought.

Varethaned all the wooden pieces for the 26 inch round window, so had the rest of the day...

Lets work on the motor unit !!

[letsbuildahobbithome]

Oh, ya... i can work with this ...

[letsbuildahobbithome]

Had a busy day today....

Varethaned all the wood for the 26 inch hobbit window, and had to let it dry...

Lets work on the motor unit !!

[letsbuildahobbithome]

Test run number 2.

[letsbuildahobbithome]

First step in using an ebike for an interesting project, is to add a sprocket to the hub motor.

I now have a powered sprocket.

[letsbuildahobbithome]

Had an ebike given to me, with the request it be used in one of my projects .....

Hmmmm .... think i have an idea i can use.

[letsbuildahobbithome]

Gonna call this one a success.

Custom made, extra wide toilet seat for the kitties to stand on, and as an added bonus, its warmer to sit on than the crappy plastic seats.

[letsbuildahobbithome]

Window pass thru all glued up and drying....

Next up is assembly.

[letsbuildahobbithome]

Pivot frame is done !

Onto the wall pass thru...

[letsbuildahobbithome]

Window sash completed, onto the pivot frame.

With the new architect working on the Hobbit Home plans, its time to build this 26 inch round window...

Need to know the size of the mounting hole !

[letsbuildahobbithome]

Day 3 " the pad".

Used a concrete block in the center, to spin it into the right direction...

Unfortunately, it crushed not only the first one, but when the second block crushed, it snapped the pad.

Will have to trim it square, and continue with the move.
