This is the heavy hauler that I built to haul the excavator and loader that I built for my grandson. The tractor and trailor have 50 wheels and is five feet long. Wheels all turn, tracks move, excavator goes up and down and all parts on the loader are functional. The flat trailer unhooks from the front so you can unload the excavator from the front of the trailer.

Yea, if you don’t mind where did you get your plans. This is great. I’m making a dump truck for my grandson from scratch right now and I found a book about wooden toys and it just does’nt give enough info to make the toys. what you’ve made is what I’m looking for. And my grandson, He can’t wait. LOL. mike

Plans for “Heavy Hauler”
All plans came from Toys & Joys, but I did some major modifications. Some were as follows:
Tractor- pattern #66-Streched frame to accommodate third axle, added some detail, horns, antennae,second exhaust etc.
Lo Boy Trailer- Patt. #64- modified goose neck to allow it to hook on either tractor fifth wheel or intermediate trailer. This took some doing in order to keep Lo Boy level- required a full size drawing. The intermediate trailer is all my own design as is the last trailer.
Excavator-patt. # 65- the linkage from bucket to cylinder won’t work as designed! You need to look at a real one.
Front End Loader- patt. # 67-The plans do not call for the axel to be articulated so it is difficult to get all four wheels to sit evenly on flat surface. Second one I built I hinged the rear axle – solved problem.
Plans or no plans let your imagination be your guide!!
Hope this helps.
