M1010 K30 -- Budget build (Back from the dead and considering 54" springs...)

Today I scouted some more trails
I filmed it while driving, so it's a little shaky:o

Cool video. You were looking for trails? Looked to me like you making youjr own trails! Was that a head cam? Looked pretty steady to me. Nice.
 
Thanks, yeah by scouting I meant making :D
I held the camera with one hand, but tried to support it some against the roof.
Nothing I can recomend doing while wheeling though :zombie8:
 
Yes, it's for the front locker (Eaton E-locker).
One of my favorite mods so far :D
 
I hope you don't mind the way this thread has evolved from a build thread to a pic whoring thread:whistle:
Cause here's some more :D

I went out for a spontaneous little wheeling trip tonight on the trail I scouted this sunday.



And we all know that spontaneous means trouble right:rolleyes:
At the top of the hill my front drive shaft broke:doah:



At least I had a really good parking brake:haha:



I tried pulling myself out with the winch and 2wd...





But finally the winch wire got loose from the winch drum :doah:

Then I enlisted a friend with a K20 to pull me out...
Here you can see how well he did :doah:



Once more I had to go and get the tractor...

Here's the drive shaft:




I thought the front yoke consisted of one forged part, but now I realize that the splined part was only press-fitted a half inch into the yoke :eek1:
And the yoke looks really weak:eek1:
(It wasn't my welds that gave away)
I think I'll shorten whats left of the yoke and weld the square tube directly to the fork.

And here's the movie :D

I fixed the drive shaft today.
This time I welded the tube directly to the "fork"

Then I installed what was supposed to be a "heavy-duty" U-joint (Precision #280) :surepal:

Yeah right, heavy duty my ass!
I broke it almost right away :angry1:

Where can I get solid U-joints, without the grease holes?
 
Something isn't right if you snapped both sides like that. Even a 1310 can take a TON of tq before it will shear like that.

Almost looks like the shaft couldn't spin in the cap, or something bound up, or you got a very defective joint.

X2 something else is wrong.
I have a 1310 in front and never broke one changed them when they were going bad but never broke one.
It seems like the problem was there when you broke the first time because that looks like something else is wrong too.
Is the shaft sliding ok and enough :confused:
 
I think you're right guys.
The drive-shaft must have bottomed out :o

When I first designed the shaft it was OK.
I made it long so it would be as strong as possible, therefor it had a very small margin for bottoming out.
But I've installed angle shims to get the pinion up since then.
And the way I welded the shaft this time it got about 10mm longer when fully compressed as well.
So that must be it...



And here's the video of the carnage :D

I checked it yesterday, and I think it's fine.
It didn't leak any oil at least:crazy:
 
I've mounted a winch on my bed now....











































But maybe not for the purpose you had thought :D

Now it's the perfect moose hunting truck :deal:
Only 2 out of 11 mooses needed the use of an ATV to extract them....
