Hitachi Zaxis 870 LCH
So I have ordered one of Vario's excavators.
I chose their Hitachi 870 to make it fit in with my wheelloader and trucks. Pictures of the machine can be found at Vario's website http://www.vario-earthmovers.com/mod...zaxis-870.html

Re: Hitachi Zaxis 870 LCH
Thanks guys
It's almost three weeks since I ordered it so it should not take so long to get it home now. If I understood them correctly, it should be ready to ship next week

They sure do look good, going to have to save my pennies if I want to get one. Oh wait Canada just announced they will do away with the penny!

Re: Hitachi Zaxis 870 LCH
Yes i have.
This is really fun. Very well packaged. And on the inside, one servonaut S20 I serched like maniac for this square part on the engine, i was going to send Vario a mail and say that they have forgotten it. It struck me then that I had seen the sheet metal pieces elsewhere, but where?? Well inside the chassis, only took me an hour before I found out. Hidden under the plate, and there it was. Engines in place. Start of the bevel gears. Drive wheel. The beginning of the chain drive to the sprocket. Well i forgot to take pictures because it was a bit tricky and didn't went my way. One pin one piece of plastic and you have a long way to assembly the tracks.

Re: Hitachi Zaxis 870 LCH
Thanks everybody for nice comments
In order to attach the drive properly, I had to grind down a slight edge so that the gear in the gearbox went free. Here it would have been a little more pictures but sometimes when things go well you forget In all cases the drivesystem are now fully assembled. Therapy work two of these, one of this and one of this and the rollers are done. Suddenly all 24 done. Drivesystem mounted on chassis.
