Re: Another Tigercat...

Thanks guys. This build was a real challenge for me. Not in the sense that the pieces were too hard to make but I just struggled to stay working on it. I lost interest in it many times because I was...

Re: Another Tigercat...

I have been waiting for some motors to be in stock at the Robot Shop for months. They are supplied by Servocity and I could have bought them there but for some reason their shipping to Canada is...

Re: Another Tigercat...

Thanks KP. It needs some work but I'm happy to finally see it fully functional. I put some foam in since the videos and there's no more flattened out tires now!lol

Re: Another Tigercat...

Yes the valve seems to work OK with no leaks now that I used some loctite between the halves. I could have machined grooves for O rings around each valve and that would have been better but I was...

Re: Another Tigercat...

I didn't make the pump itself. My father in-law machined the inner case on a cnc mill to fit some internal gears that I had and then I machined the outside down as much as I could to decrease the...

Re: Another Tigercat...

Thank you very much guys. I still have some details and paint to add on the skidder but I must say that I am happy to see it fully functional. I think a smaller hydraulic pump would be a nice...

Re: Another Tigercat...

I got a few of the kinks out on the skidder today(literally). It turned out that the issue with the blade was a kinked hose so I shortened it up and that solved the problem. The valve block was...

Re: Another Tigercat...

Thanks guys.

I was thinking the same thing Nate. The cylinders for the grapple have enough exposed rod that i could put a helper spring on there. I think I will wait and see how often it opens...

Re: Another Tigercat...

It's nothing fancy. Just silver solder. I don't need to run a huge amount of pressure on this one so it should hold up fine.

Re: Another Tigercat...

Well it has been a long time since this thing has had any attention but for some reason I got a bee in my bonnet the last few days and threw it back on the bench. After about 3 days and over 30 hours...

Re: Another Tigercat...

Sorry Earl but this thing hasn't had much attention in a long time. It has been on the bench, looked at and put back on the shelf several times but no progress has been made. I would really like to...

Re: Another Tigercat...

It will get a little more detail but will never match the KW. I plan on adding some screen to the side windows and some cylinders to operate the hydraulics:rolleyes: but that's it. This is one of...

Re: Another Tigercat...

I still have a lot to do on this detail wise but at least it has some badging now.

Re: Another Tigercat...

A couple pictures of the pump mocked up in position. I won't hook up any hoses until I make all the cylinders.

Re: Another Tigercat...

I managed to put this together today. My father in-law made this pump up for me back when I started the EC300 but I ended up buying a Jung for that instead so I thought I would give it a shot in the...

Re: Another Tigercat...

Yeah I kind of got burnt out on this build and lost interest. The tires are from a New Bright Raminator truck. I just happened to ask the local hobby shop to keep an eye out for tires with chevron...

Re: Another Tigercat...

Well since the 850 is nearly finished and there is a show in a month, I thought I should get the 630D back on the bench and see what I could get done. I had stolen the ESC to get the 850 going so a...

Re: Another Tigercat...

Had the day off because of the weather so I spent a little time mounting the hydraulics valves and such.

Re: Another Tigercat...

Thanks a lot guys, I just hope it works:o! It is a bit of "f"ing around but it's really not that bad with a DRO on the mill. I used the plugs out of the valve I had made months ago and just made a...
