CAT 14M3 Motor Grader

I decided to start building a new grader. It's going to be Cat 14M again but this time the newer 14M3 model.

I'm using Fusion 360 to draw all the parts.

This is what I'm trying to built:

There's couple of reasons, it was very fun project at the first time (or have I just forget all the not so fun parts:)) and I think I can make some areas better.
Also there's not too many grader projects going on over here.

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader

I got to the mill today, but it did not go quite as planned:mad:
The front frame is so long that i had to disable my limit switches on x-axis to get every millimeter in use. I of course at the other end my table hit the end and lost some steps. I did not noticed that right away but when I did, it was game over:mad:
The pocket was machined from two directions, and the left one wen't well, but on the right it lost the steps and the pockets did not quite meet:o

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader

This weekend I managed to machine the lower portion of the back frame.
I also took it on video and I will upload it to Youtube. I speeded it up 2-3 times so you won't get so bored :)

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader

I've been drawing the bogie axle lately, and i got both of them half machined.
I'm going to go with motors for each wheel this time.

I shot a video too, but it need to be edited sometime soon.

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader

Thanks for the videos, it's always interesting to see how pieces are actually machined out of a solid block of metal.

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader

It's coming along great! The parts are looking beautiful.

What gearmotors are you putting in those walking beams?

I have 75 rpm motors that I was thinking to use. When get the tires, I must check what kind of speed I'm going to get.
