Re: Volvo G990 Grader
Stephen, your project just keeps getting better and better! The drawbar looks amazing. The circle guides, and every other part that you made, to make the draw bar a complete assembly is just incredible. I'm glad you are sharing even the little details with us.

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
Hi Stephen
I was going to ask if you were willing to sell this as a kit but after seeing some of the tools and gear you used to make it there no way I could make it at the moment. but I love the work you have done so far. From Cameron.

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
Guys, thanks for the nice comments!
I made ball joint parts for the blade lift (here only loosely fitted). Luckily I managed to find some stainless balls of correct diameter (11 mm). Unfortunately they are somewhat too narrowly cut in the direction of the hole, what causes a step when fitted on the axles, especially the conical ones. Will have to camouflage that later with some filler. Thanks for looking. Stefan Last edited by Stefan; 11-07-2017 at 01:28 PM. Reason: Link repair |

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
I second that making holes in stainless that small is quite a feat. Ed

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
OK, sorry, I think there's misunderstanding here - I cannot take any credit for making those holes, the balls were extracted like that from off-the-shelf ball joints. But I did indeed drill the holes in the front balls shown in posting #137.

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
Thanks perry and "JDH429"!
@ Kingcam2: No, not much to show. Going even slower as usual at the moment. Made a bending jig for some brackets. Will show later. Even if a wanted to, I don´t think I would ever have the time to make a kit of it. Stefan |

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
Well, thanks a lot, but I fear you will have to wait for quite a while
Anyway, was just going to show the parts which arrived today. Looks like a water hydrant but is actually the circle turn valve - body and cap. Needs machining, of course: M3 threads for the fittings and a lining for the spool. And here when painted and installed Stefan Last edited by Stefan; 11-07-2017 at 01:33 PM. Reason: Link repair |

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
The answer to the first question is written on the box. Hint: It´s not "FRAGILE" You just have to upload your 3D CAD drawing and send them some bucks. The material in this case is stainless steel. Actually a powder which is laser sintered in a 3D printer.

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
wow alot to read from start to finish several times!! very interesting!! so whats up for power train plans? please say diesel LOL kidding, very cool didnt know 3d printers could and were capable of doing that. The circle turn system is very complicated in 1:1 running two cylinders flawlesly in syncro to rotate the table gear always blew my mind watching them. good luck with machining them!!

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
Fancy! I still can't believe that things like this can be printed. Incredible. Those are some nice looking fire hydrants!
