Hitachi Zaxis 870 LCH
So I have ordered one of Vario's excavators.
I chose their Hitachi 870 to make it fit in with my wheelloader and trucks. Pictures of the machine can be found at Vario's website :) http://www.vario-earthmovers.com/mod...zaxis-870.html |

Re: Hitachi Zaxis 870 LCH
Congratulations ! !
Let us know how long it takes to receive it and if you enjoy putting it together. It sure seems to be a real dirt moving machine... Enjoy Greg |
Re: Hitachi Zaxis 870 LCH
Thanks guys :)
It's almost three weeks since I ordered it so it should not take so long to get it home now. If I understood them correctly, it should be ready to ship next week :) |
Re: Hitachi Zaxis 870 LCH

Re: Hitachi Zaxis 870 LCH
They sure do look good, going to have to save my pennies if I want to get one. Oh wait Canada just announced they will do away with the penny!

Thanks everybody for nice comments :)
In order to attach the drive properly, I had to grind down a slight edge so that the gear in the gearbox went free. http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...H/P4193536.jpg Here it would have been a little more pictures but sometimes when things go well you forget :( In all cases the drivesystem are now fully assembled. http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...H/P4193539.jpg Therapy work :p two of these, http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...H/P4193540.jpg one of this http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...H/P4193541.jpg and one of this http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...H/P4193542.jpg and the rollers are done. http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...H/P4193543.jpg Suddenly all 24 done. http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...H/P4193544.jpg Drivesystem mounted on chassis. http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...H/P4193545.jpg http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...H/P4193546.jpg |

Re: Hitachi Zaxis 870 LCH
It sure looks good when everything is clean and brand new! :cool:
Did you machine flat spots on your gear shafts within the track drives? Locktite every grub screw as well! It takes alot of torque to move this heavy model around. ;) |
