TH407C Telehandler progress:

Initial design was roughed out in CAD. Chassis was prototyped to confirm the driveline layout is functional (see video). Final parts are being ordered now to verify dimensions/fitment against CAD model. Currently the lift cylinder will collide with the front steering servo, but I think I found a sufficiently small HV servo with acceptable torque (115 oz-in @8.4v).

Hydraulics still work after being shelved for a few years. Pump inlet/out were drilled out to M5 to use readily available SMC banjo fittings. Also ultra tiny 1.2mm lines are required for the tilt cylinder. This will kill the pressure and speed, but it's the only way to keep the telescope functional with hidden lines. I'll need a larger custom reservoir too which is a bummer
