D8R +463 in 1/5,6

[D8R]

Did get laser cutted part this week, still gets very exited when new parts arrive. And there is some times supprises, forgot one part and had some minor miss alignment on some others



Did blade cylinder piston cover, don't know if this is a CAT part but it makes sence. Pusherarms was also modified, the right one with an extra cylinder cover plate.


Left one with 3 different holes to set angle of blade and new square push arm


Still to do on arms are the ladder steps on outside and a more prototypical conector (end) to dozer


On blade I made some more details, covers for cylinders, holder for GPS reciver and blade angle reader with cover.


1st time I did mill a part like this,


GPS antenna made, lenght to be adapted as soon I have correct heights.


Some parts for ripper tooth control was also cutted, here some TIG welded together (new expirience to me)


Cutting windows for cab on hold due to computer problem. Have an old Windows 98 computer with CAD program. The printer broke down and is not possible to replace with a newer one (needs higher than W98). So now I need to find spare parts to get out the drawings to use as guides.

Could you save/export as a PDF and print elsewhere? depending on the filetype you could export the plot file, just a suggestion but i've no idea on such an old version of Solidworks.

Keep up the fantastic work can almost smell it running
