i may have to grab my back carriage vertical supports to help disperse the load on all 4 corners, not just the front 2. I'm thinking bc of the weight of my power plant, and where it will need to be located (won't know any rough locations yet, until i get the raise/lower linear guide boxes built and installed) to keep the drive wheel shaft within acceptable length and location, either behind the band wheel, or behind the carriage vertical support. Now, I'm still not sure if I'm going to use a winch or utilize the same motors and gearboxes WM uses. after looking at an LX150 that was loaded and ready for delivery, i found out nearly everything i need to get my lifting mechanism up and going. for the longest, i couldn't figure out where the "extra" chain would go as the head if lifting. So, i visited the portland, or WM the other day and finally figured out the lifting mechanism. but iv got 1 fall already, just need to buy another if i can find a sprocket to fit the chain. may be less cost and fabricating to using that method. which heyyyy, they already have the chain installed on the chain fall, just find a sprocket to fit the chain, run chain to connecting tube, run a loop from a hand crank, or lighter duty electric motor, and go to town. but what about running opposite? those chain falls/hoists have a leaver that has to be moved to change direction, or, pull the chain the other direction. a double chain hoist, with a crossover tube connecting both together and a single sprocket and a loop of chain run to a winch. mount it low, use pump, mount it high, use water hose. so mount it on the bottoms, and use a low psi (NMT 15 psi) fuel pump to push fuel upwards. i was going to mount my fuel cell at the bottom, on the outside of the carriage, so humping 1-4 5 gal jerry cans, 4, 5 or even 6 ft in the air to fill them sounds crazy. I think finding center would be easy, but it would be keeping that cg nearly all the time, to prevent binding on the guide rails, and i think i can do it. it seems most of yaw are 3hrs ahead of me.
