Default Re: Cat 340D Excavator build

Hi Rob,


For the stick I am tempted to leave that motor in place, have been online looking at videos of real excavators at work, and the stick speed is about like that. If I go faster, it wont be by much. The bucket speed may need the faster motor. Guess I'll find out when more is together, and see how it all looks working as a system. I need to open the side of the boom up again anyway (sure it wont be the last time! ) to fix the cable rubbing issue and do the limit switch work. Six screws and the side panel will pop off, so that is easy (glad its not painted yet). There is enough room in the boom that I may go up a level on the gearmotor to a stronger one, I think that I have to stick with this size for the bucket motor, the stronger ones wont fit there.
