MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
Hello Fellow RCT&C Forum Members and guest.
In Respect to Freddy Gear Drive and what he has created here with this forum I am dedicating this 1:16 Scale 24M Motor Grader build in his honor. The CAD work is about 75% finish. The time in this build will be (has been) long and expensive but it is coming together – slowly. In Freddy’s honor… Front Axle CAD  Parts and the assembly...  Pressing the bearing in place...   Adding Spacers...   Piviot in place...

What an entrance
 Your dedication of this build to Freddy is appreciated by all. Now for some ??? What tires are you planning on using or are you going to make them? Hydraulics or actuators? Keep the pics coming!!

Can't wait until I can draw 3D stuff like that! (Taking 3D classes this spring)

Amazing what can be done with the proper equipment and the will to go at it. I like the small bearings added to the pivot points.

Heck of an entrance! Freddy would have dislocated his jaw seeing this! Fabulous results so far.

Nice work, I'm glad to see someone building a 24. This should be good.

Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
Hey everyone - thanks for your good words. Of all the models that I had built over the years this one is the most difficult by far but is easily my all time favorite!
tc1cat - The tires are designed by me and are solid core rubber. I cannot take credit for the process because I had paid $$$ to a shop to make them for me. The plan is for full Hydraulics. Some I will machine myself and some I will have a shop do. How many am I building? - One maybe two. Parts that are very complex and $$$ I had extras machined, just in case I want to build a few more. pigeonfarmboy - Why wait till spring. There is great FREE CAD software that has full function but with some limitation... after 60 parts you cannot save the assembly. I have been using the Pro version for many years and it is really easy to use once you understand the basics. Here is the link for anyone that wants to explore 3D computer design software: http://www.ptc.com/products/creo-ele...eling-express/ Are you taking classes for SolidWorks? I also run Solidworks 2012... very powerful but way harder with complex designs. pugs - You are right about the 5 axis, not sure on what kind was used because I cannot take credit on the machining. Many of the front axle parts I had paid $$$ to have machined. modelman - I know how you feel - I had spent many hours standing where you stand! I'm soooo glad I do not have to do that anymore.
