Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
If you fellas want to stick to scale that's the proper steering wheel. doesn't need to be round or larger. There's just a small rod through the centre operating a valve under the floor.

Really looking forward to see this, especially since you went with the kit, will it be Bell yellow? An little update on my 470, i took it apart today for some modifications, paint and service, undercarrige will get some black powdercoating, new swing motor will be installed and will re-build the stick and bucket cylinder, i think i might have damaged them a little when first assembled, will replace all o-rings. I also have a 4th valve coming from Frank that i will install as well, plan is to make some additional hydraulics for a tiltbucket or other hydraulic attachments. More on this later this week i hope. |

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
Your cyls starting to drip? My stick cyl is seeping a little bit, but I think it's mostly just when digging hard ground - run at max press constantly, don't see any pooling in easy digging.
Are going to use a hyd mechanism for your quik-tach? I'm thinking about narrowing up my digging bucket 20 to 30% & making a GP bucket 50% or wider than stock.

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
Yes, I built my cyls too Kalle. I used lots of white Lithium grease installing the o-rings with a precise curved pic. I got spares too.
Seems odd though that they might fail already, I pretty sure I'm well under 100hrs and I changed oil at about 30hrs... The brass tubing on mine is quite a bit different than yours (they did that).

Nope Joe, though i was gonna go hyd for the new one i still wanted the 4th valve for something else then just a qucik coupler, so it will most likely be a low geared motor that push the mechanism in and out. A motor controller i have found will be used to run the motor on a 3 pos switch. I hope to have some CAD:s from the guy who does that later this week. Will PM you about this. I have also thought about making a larger bucket, some kind of mass bucket, with or without theets, dont know yet, also a better grading bucket will be made, my friends uncle have a plasma cutter, i will ask him to cut the pieces out, will have to make some templates first. |

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
Looking good Kalle.
Is that a different hose on the bucket cyl, more flexible than what's provided in the kit originally? Is your body tall enough to fit the vertical swing motor without cutting a hole in it?

Nope its the same, i use a heat gun to soften them up a little bit, then you can form the a little like you want, and when they get cold they hold the shape a little better. I dont know yet really, but i think i may have to cut it up a little. |

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
Heat gun, good to know, thanx Kalle... I tried to make mine like the OEM and it kinked!
