The LM 846 is a more common wheel loader than the LM 845, with the same tire size all around and 500kg heavier.
While the 845 was better for forestry work due to larger front wheels, the 846 is a versatile loader for various materials.
Based on the LM 845 from Giants Software, here is the LM 846 from 1972.
Features:
Different wheel options with same dimensions on all four wheels (reworked rims/hubs)
Authentic LM 846 decals
3 new store options
Updated ZF axles front and back for maximum torque
Three Engine options:
Volvo D50B – Standard 115hp 5.13L inline six-cylinder engine
Volvo D60A – 125hp 5.48L inline six-cylinder engine with more torque and higher rpm, costing 5000
Volvo TD70B – 180hp turbocharged 6.73L truck engine with updated torque converter for higher top speed, costing 15000
Reworked gearbox with High/Low gears, 2 forward and 2 reverse speeds, matching the real machine
Reworked weight and center of mass for authenticity
Enhanced engine sounds and torque converter sounds for realism
Known issue: The H/L gearbox lever doesn’t work perfectly yet, working on a fix
Author’s notes:
I own a Volvo LM 846 from 1974 and was excited to find the LM 845 in the Giants Software Volvo Pack!
(The 845 is almost identical to the 846 except for the wheels). Based on my experience with the 846, I aimed to make this mod true to the real machine.
In Sweden, it’s common to swap out the old D50 for a turbo truck engine, so I included that option.
I’m new to modding, but next I plan to add turbo sound to the TD70 and a store option for LED working lights.
I do not claim credit for the original mod; credits go to Giants Software for the LM 845’s realism and to Adub Modding for the rust shaders!
