Re: 140H Grader
Rob, your work is amazing! Wood, brass, aluminum, whatever material you use, you seem to have no problem getting your parts to be excellent duplicates of the 1:1 machine's parts. Glad to see you are gaining some ground on this build. It's going to be an awesome model when done. Can't wait to see it.

Re: 140H Grader
I managed to get a couple of significant pieces done this afternoon. I wanted to us my Robart 2'' stroke cylinders, but needed a clevis to work....so i got on the lathe and bandsaw and WALAA.
Finster, i have solved the internal tooth ring, i am using an r/c motorcycle chain and sprocket for the drive gear. I soldered the chain to the inside of my circle board. It is pretty true for just eyeing it in. Steve, I am still trying to reach your 'master' status Lorenzo, I really didn't measure the diameter, I just kinda went from the patterns, i will take a measurement Dream, I am going to run as much hydraulic as possible. I haven't used a switch 8 before, i just know that i need quite-a-few 3 pos switches so i can center my valves

Re: 140H Grader
After seeing many of your previous builds, you constantly amaze me with what you build. No matter what material you choose, it seems like you master it with no problems. Can't wait to see this monster running around at one of the minitruck meets.
Keep up the GREAT work!!! Lynn |

Re: 140H Grader
Thanks guys for all the supporting words. I am beginning to make a little headway on it. I will soon begin work on the interior. It's a fun project to build. I have to figure out things as I go along and the guys at the local Cat dealership have bent over backwards......twice to help me. I am learnign how to use my mini lathe and make some parts. If I had the skills of U expert machiners, I would be further along.

Re: 140H Grader
I think you're doing just fine on this build. Did you machine the lift pieces?

Re: 140H Grader
The lift pieces are made of wood (6 joints).

Re: 140H Grader
REALLY beautiful - it amazes me how it looks like cast iron after the paint ..... just boggling. Interesting comment about the local guys ED - even the business owners that I tend to frequent are helpful ...... at first I thought they would think me kinda nuts and such for 'playing with toys' ...... now I think they're kinda jealous ........ They all work hard for me ..... and others .....

Re: 140H Grader
Looks awesome. You definitely would not know any of it is wood after that paint. Do you do a layer of filler or something to get it that smooth? Have you looked at the Airtronics SD10G? Not sure it is enough channels for you, but all the switches are 3-pos. The F-14 is expandable enough that it would work but with all the decoders it ends being a lot of radio gear.

Re: 140H Grader
The circle and moldboard assembly is looking just great! Nice detail, and really like the novel approach to the circle gear - we often don't recognize a chain works from both sides and doesn't have to be the moving part. I agree with the others, how you make wood look like cast-iron is a wonder. Keep it up!

Re: 140H Grader
Lil bit more on the moldboard assembly. Got the braces done and the cylinder bracket made for the blade's pitch. Gotta clean all the solder up. I will sandblast all the metal before i prime it

Re: 140H Grader
I am going with the AT SD10G. I just got the nerve to sprang for a pump though, so the radio will be early next yr, after the holiday season.
Sand, sand, sand, then cover with fiberglass cloth and afix with CA. The CA fills 99.9 % of the cloth......sand, sand, filler, sand, sand.....rub ur fingers across it, then sand some more......then prime/paint Quote:
