Default Wedico CAT 966G II to Sweden

So this is my wheelloader, i buildt it last year in March. I dont post all pics here, there is almost 150. Link to all of them http://s1089.photobucket.com/albums/...66G/?start=all

When everything was unpacked i was thinking "wtf is this it cant be a loader" it turned out i was wrong Some pics of the build







Cheted a little bit.







Alongside the Sania t-cab hevyhauler.



Call me crazy but I threw out all wdc electronics in the trash before I even tested it. I changed it to Servonaut instead.
Here is the SMX soundmodule, i now its wrong but i just have to have the Scania V8 sound with a screaming turbocharger



S20 (ESC) and BMA (hydraulic ESC)



First testdrive outside.



More to come...

Nice loader and nice photos.

Question: My Friends's Wedico Loader has 4 tiny screws that hold each wheel to the axle and in your photo it looks like there is one bolt holding the wheel on? is that true?

Thanks

There are 10 small screws that hold the rims together and one bigger in the middle that holds the entire wheel in place.

Thanks, they must have changed that on the newer loaders.

Maybe they have, my machine is number 708.

I decided to expand the hydraulics of the machine so i can have hydraulic accessories.
First thing i have to do was a new radio i choose the 10channel Sanwa SD-10G.



New holders and hoses on the arms.







This was not cheap, new controlvalve and some other things. The pistons is for a snowplow, more on that one later.



Its a tihgt fit.



The enginebay is really full



Snowchains could be a good idea.





Some plowing pics









Oh and a little movie to

The hose holder idea is cool. The lines on my 2 lift cylinders are the only hoses I have problems with getting pinched.

Looks like a nice setup. Who makes the quick attach system? Or is it custom?

Changing the drivetrain in a CAT isn't as easy at it seams

Motor is nearly in place just a few millimeters lower.



Front driveshaft is to high up as you can see in this picture.



Put the pump in to see if it works as i thougt.



Filter in the same place as original just put it on the other side.



Valves at the back of the machine.



I can now put un twin NiMh or one bigger 3s LiPo battery.



As you can see NiMh is a bit higher than the LiPo battery.

Done just a little bit more today.

Split the original holder for pump in two pieces so i don't have to make a new holder for the hood. Here is th right side.



Not much left of the leftside.



I placed the valve as high and far back as i could.



Filter hanging upside down.



This is how it looks under the hood rigt now, it's not easy to take a good picture on this.



Got to fix the twisted hoses
