D8R +463 in 1/5,6

[D8R]

Have still some parts to do, one major assembly is the hydraulic control for ripper tooth. My big steel cutter can´t be used right now, don´t have any electricity in that shop anymore (mowing out) so did some CAD on needed parts to be laser cut. Will probably take a couple of weeks before getting the parts but feels good to have this going. Also the sheet metal parts for hood will be done at same time. Those parts are the last to be manufactored (exept for new windows for cab), I hope. Then testing will start

Some printout from program, all major parts, in total this will add up another 60 parts




With some yellow paint on. This cylinder will not be hydraulic operated, don´t have any valve position or RC position left. It will be spring activated, push cylinder rod in and ripper can be adjusted. Maybee later it can be changed to a electric cylinder but don´t think it will be used that much.


Since working with ripper assembly this was removed from dozer. Have never had it without any attatchment so got some photos, this way with scraper it will look like some bigger machines at McAninch.




Will come back when parts done
