Haven't even finished my two artillery munition vehicles, but have already started on a third vehicle. This time the predecessor...
It's funny how small the world is! But this time it won't be another head-to-head race! I am just randomly trying out which parts ought to be new and which I could reuse. @Charlie CI have the intention that the wheels were an evolution of steam traction design indeed. But nevertheess there was a patent specially for artillerie tractors, the so called "Pöhl-Rad":
Hi Peter,
It is indeed a small world...
As far as I can tell, the vehicles are basically the same apart from the front wheels, a different back of the cabine and the back of the vehicle has a fixing point for the Lastenverteilergerät and room for 2 small planks and 2 wedge thingies used for loading a gun into the Lastenverteilergerät.
Arie, your 55hp tractor looks very good. I especially like the brass frame! The fixing point for the Lastenverteilergerät is reinforced by beams as you can make out in this drawing and the picture. The Lastenverteilgerät itself is a nightmare for CAD work
