Re: CAT 374D L
Well you're just on fire now!
I can see problems with that design with the holes not lining up just right & some outside interference (your hand) needed to make sure it locks fully into place... somebody I know has designed and built the ultimate failsafe coupler, maybe he'll share his secret with you for a 100% hands free lock into place every time. You're on the right track though, but you just need to redo a small part of it.

Re: CAT 374D L
Wow, very nice coupler Ari, that's the same way the new Premacon coupler locks, should work just fine! Great job!

Re: CAT 374D L
Well I was giving props to what you did Kalle, your coupler works flawless... I've done it hundreds of times now and no hand adjustments to get it to fit & lock or release. The only thing I'd consider changing is going to hyd actuated for a quicker change & no worries of the timed esc to get out whack and burn out the actuator motor.

Re: CAT 374D L
Works perfect! Thank´s for the video, Ari! I agree with all the other guys: This has been an incredible build. I really enjoyed following it.
However, as said in the video comment - the bucket is already dirty, so where´s that video? Regards Stefan |

Ari: Are you going to route new hyd lines for the coupler on top of the stick, under the cylinder? |

Re: CAT 374D L
A mighty fine machine you have built yourself Ari, anybody who didn't know you built it would swear it must be an EC-M model.
Now it just needs some fine tuning in the radio so the valves aren't so sensitive/jerky.

Re: CAT 374D L
Ari Outstanding build I'm near the end of my RH400 mining shovel build with hydraulics for cylinders so I know what you have gone through. Now you next problem is what's next, as like you and many others the building is the most fun.

Re: CAT 374D L
I took the finished 374 out to take some photos before it starts to snow
I'd like to thank all of you guys for your interest and compliments to this project. It feels some how empty not having anything construction machine related going on right now ,so now I must decide what next, what would you guys like to see

Re: CAT 374D L
I would like to see you build a haul truck to match the excavator. I think you could put one together quite quickly with your skills!

Re: CAT 374D L
I'd love to see a Cat 637 or 657 scraper.

Re: CAT 374D L
Amazing end result!
How about a Ponsse harvester or forwarder? Match good with "Made in Finland"! |
