Re: Mercedes 2626 AK 6x6

Hello, Berdn: Unfortunatelly there are no news to talk about. The poor Merkabah waits and waits. It does not mean that I have lost interest, at all, but the focus has shifted and, for the most part, there is no place to work on her. Do not know when I will go back to the project. Hopefully soon. Bes...

Re: Mercedes 2626 AK 6x6

Hello, Madoxen: Thanks for the vibes. Unfortunately the project is still paused due to the the complexity in which the house project has sunken in. Regular work has also been very demanding in terms of labor and time which has not helped the cause neither. Anyway, even if it seems tough, as always, ...

Hello, tooFATtoDRIVE and lura: Hope you and all the good girls and guys are okay. Sorry for not being around for a while, but I have had nothing interesting to post about the Merkabah in the last few months. The house has got all my attention and it is an ongoing and neverending project on its own. ...

Re: Mercedes 2626 AK 6x6

The prefilter box, along with a couple of plastic pieces for the cabin, was also painted with a lot of hands of black paint. I could not find, though, the big metallic clamp that I had fabricated quite a long time ago. 19413.jpg So, I had to take a rusted metal sheet from the surroundings and cut a ...

Re: Mercedes 2626 AK 6x6

19389.jpg Due to the multiplication of the tasks asked Ramón the builder to accomplish, the building of Eduardo’s house went on at a very slow pace, though the quality of the work and the amount of steel and concrete poured so far gave it the name of “The bunker”. 19387.jpg As a side note, I was in...

Re: Mercedes 2626 AK 6x6

The problem was to keep the big and heavy bikes stable while descending from them once you bring them on the elevator, stable and safe enough to apply the straps to definitively lock the bike in place. This was critical, especially for ...

The recycled platform morphed into a very nice, light and strong ramp for the bikes to be serviced on the lift.

It was irresistible to put both Spare II and the Merkabah together to compare them.

That weekend I forgot about the Merkabah, leaving the fluid gasket to cure properly and the expectations to lower a little. If it did not work I would surely have a stroke. I went on with the building of the lifter for the bikes and decided to make a test to see what the good things and the flaws of...

The race of the planetary gear carrier bearing was not exactly, exactly the same, but it was okay. I destroyed the old one but will skip the carnage for your comfort and show only the final result. It was hard to do it without damaging the planetary carrier so it is worth mention it. 19175.jpg 19177...

Initially, I wanted to park the truck behind the garage/workshop, hidden from the view, but Ramón had cleaned and flattened the earth there, preparing the soil for the projected orchard. So, Spare II would probably rest in peace for a long period of time right in front of the garage. Not the most hi...
