LifeTrac II: Frame
Posted by Marcin
Here are some additional details from Sean’s video documentation work regarding the frame of the open source tractor – LifeTrac – Prototype II. William discusses some of the details on the frame, which was introduced in a previous post. From Sean’s videos so far, I like this one the most so far for its aesthetic qualities. You can read more about LifeTrac Prototype I here.

Using bolts is fabulous. Will there literally be no welding at all? You guys really are building an erector set for civilization, huh.

There will be a few welds where bolts are impossible, such as wheel mounting plates – but the welds are not many.

Very nicely made documentary material, good work Sean!
Can’t wait to see the finished version
This will be a huge benefit to OSE and hopefully attract a lot of new true fans

if welding is a problem, then why not make a datalogging constant current/constant voltage AC/DC MIG+TIG+Plasma cutter with HF starting, controllable pulse duty water cooled open source welding machine ?
it can’t be all that hard to vastly improve on the DIY designs and incorporate stuff from the commercial welders (and re-use some of their parts and consumables, like the tips and welding whips)
