Liebherr 944B

[Stuart]

Thanks for the paint link Bo.

Here's a pic of the boom after cutting with the hacksaw:



Got it drilled and tapped today:



Am going to fit some brass bushes, it makes sense to do it now, may try to salvage the original first before making some.

Yeah I know that premacon and THS split, I've emailed them both but no answers yet although I did get a response from Premacon through this forum at the beginning of the week, nothing since.

Mine is 2 yrs old and was sold by"Liebherr-modelle" and has "THS" engraved inside the body parts:



I was just curious about the 4s, I think your right that mine will be fine on a 3s, the hydraulics seem plenty fast enough, I will check the motor rpm when its back together.
Cheers

Nice job on the boom fix. I think its even stronger than original.
I just came across the difference between THS and Premacon 944b and can be seen here: https://translate.google.com/transla...868&edit-text=

Yup... I think however that is for newer machines than Stu's... Or mine...

Stu,

I'll be interested to hear how you go with the new pump if you go down that path.

Cheers,
Ap

I think your right Ap, its for the newer models.

Found a buyer for my current pump/motor setup (my dad wants it for a project he's working on) so have ordered the new pump, will let you know once I get it.

Went to my local model club on Sat afternoon, the pump mounts make a big difference, you could hardly hear it over the bruder converts Video sorry for the music! twasn't me.

Cheers
Stu
