Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader

What would something like this cost to have built?

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader

It's been a long time. I was wondering if there are any updates on project, did you complete it? I watch your latest video almost every day. I wonder if you still have a chance to upload a new video?
Thank you.

No complains on the radio, easy to set up and feels sturdy. I really like those side levers, that I use to lift left and right side of the blade on the grader.

Sounds like you've had some stick time on the grader, where's the videos?! :D

I still have some electronic updates to do. Also while setting up the radio, I found a leak on the blade side shift cylinder hose. I most likely have to change the hole hose, and of course, that's the most hardest one change.

Are you using sheet metal option in Fusion 360 to design these parts?

Yes I am.

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader

Those parts are looking awesome! Very nice!

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader

This project is nuts, it just keeps getting more awesome!

Plus that's some pretty sweet looking low profile Tig work.

I've got to second Lil Giants question. Videos?

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader

Beautiful work as always. Are you using a filler wire on your welds or just doing a series of spot welds?

Those are all spot welds.

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader

I thought so but wanted to make sure. I want one of those pulse tig welders so bad I can't hardly stand it. Keep up the amazing work.

Them lil boogers are EXPENSIVE! Around $8,000.oo U.S.D. for the one that is capable of welding any & ALL types of metals! There are cheaper options that will ONLY work on steel.

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader

I got everything welded in place:)

It looks more like $3,000 total to me, unless you're seeing some needed accessory I've missed, but I checked the website... it's about 2,500€ for the unit, magnifying shield, regulator, and shipping to the US. You should skip the regulator and buy one in the US, as I believe the bottle threads would be different.

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader

I test fitted the ripper to the grader, still needs the cylinder:)

And that just in time for Christmas :)

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader

I blasted the parts with glass before painting.

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader

It's slightly over 12kg (26,5 lbs), without battery and the ripper. I think they will add about 1kg.

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader

I got everything painted, the cylinder is still missing the piston seals.
