Hi Ramon!

Another Volvo! And you rarely see a scale compactor. Two excellent choices! ;) (Anyone built a paver yet?)

Very nice project! You have my attention, and I'll be checking for updates.

Is the rear axle solid? You might need a differential to make it steer. With it locked it may not turn.

Re: Volvo SD200 Compactor
 

Unique build and great start so far. Looking forward to updates.

The rear axle is solid, I did a test run with it and ste steering is no problem.

the Chassis ready for gluing. I use the UHU endfast 300 glu and then for 5 min at 150 degree in the oven, super strong.

Very interesting, i wil definitely be watching this one to the end

Re: Volvo SD200 Compactor
 

looking good Ramon I like the fine work on the cab

Re: Volvo SD200 Compactor
 

Great project. I can't believe you use glue to assemble! I've never heard of that glue...how does it compare to JB Weld?

UHU plus endfest 300 2-K-Epoxidharzkleber.

It is possible to put this in the oven for 7 min on 150 degrees the glue get stronger when you heat it up , up to 3000n/cm2.
If you have to glue another part to the part that is glued the glue will stay strong. dont overheat or leave the parts longer than 7 min in the oven.
after the glue cooled off you can sand it drill in it and paint it.
It is not possible to powder coat the glue.
I used the glue on al my models and some are 8 years old and no problems.
I dont have the option to weld or solder the Aluminium so this glue is perfect.

Re: Volvo SD200 Compactor
 

Wow. This is turning out incredible! Your cab is amazing. Is it separate pieces off your CNC mill, glued together as well? The fit and finish is amazing. The whole compactor looks flawless right now.

Re: Volvo SD200 Compactor
 

very nice looking machine. I like your setup of the powered roller.
