Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
That looks great!
Is the outward connection of the side shift is not outwards enough, it looks like you have only relatively little movement to the right? In the original, the brackets sit much closer to the end of the blade. Is this a restriction because of the hydraulic cylinder? |

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
Ah yes, that makes sense. Hydraulic will be beneficial there.
Are you going for a rotary feedthrough for the blade tilt and shift? I use a spindle drive - it works very nicely and I get a lot of travel, but dirt is an issue. I am thinking about converting to a pull-pull winch - not sure, it's just a thought at this time. But for the high quality of your model, I feel that hydraulics is the way to go. Set with pictures BTW, could you tell me what diameter tube you used for your blade? Cheers Jens |

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
Ok, now I made the hydraulic cylinder for the side shift. It works much better than the earlier spindel , and it now has much more power and travel (50 mm both way).
Only drawback is that I might not be able to route the hoses inside the horizontal tube, and out in the middle I had to take them out straight from the nipples. There is also a small video clip of the side shift, and if you wonder why there is a bucket in the picture, that´s because I took the hydr. pressure from my excavator
