Default 1/14 Grader Caterpillar 12F
Because I saw some graders in this forum, I want to show you the grader, which is currently on my workbench: it is a Caterpillar 12F. The original was build until 1973 and it was the last one with a mechanical controlled blade. The scale of my model is 1:14.

My model is based on a 1:50-model of this grader from Gescha and a original brochure from the cat 12F. Additional I found a lot of pictures of this grader in the internet.

I started with the blade. For movement of the blade I used a Faulhaber-motor with a planetary gearbox (dia. 10mm).

Here some pics:
