4-WD,4-Wheel Steer Mini Dump Truck

4-WD,4-Wheel Steer Mini Dump Truck TRUCKS Conversions 18-6-36 I built this 4-WD, 4-wheel steer mini dump truck that's powered by an 18 hp Briggs & Stratton engine and a hydrostatic transmission. It's fun to show it off at threshing reunions and other gatherings. People get a kick out of it. I built the truck 5 years ago. It runs at speeds up to 20 mph. At one time I mounted a snowplow on front which I could angle from side to side. The axles and 6.00 by 16 tires are off an old Jeep. I used 5-in. channel iron to build the frame. The 4-ft. wide, 5-ft. long hydraulic dump bed was custom made and I welded it onto the frame. The truck has two front seats. I used sheet metal to make the hood look like a Model A car and automotive leaf springs to make the bumper. (John J. Cable, RD 2, Box 225, Hollsapple, Penn. 15935 ph 814 479-4149)
