Thank you Jordan for turning my photos around.👌 Hi Tony, It has been way too long but I am excited to get them running now.
I am at present making an adapter plate out of 25mm plate. AS I don't have any wide enough and don't want to buy any more, I have chosen to weld two pieces together and machine then as one. For the job they are doing the join will not be an issue.

Once again they are side ways I just resized them smaller as that maybe the problem.

Quite a slowish process to make these, but they need to be quite exacting.

The drive motors are from a Komatsu skid steer loader with a two speed function.

They are a really good fit and should be really simple to drive. Perhaps someone could tell me why they are al sideways.

Are you taking the pictures with an I-phone or I-pad ? If so I understand that they use a different system to define which way up photos should be and the forum can't read it. You are not the only one to have this problem.
Great progress on the tanks and it's good to hear from you again.

David
