Finally got the grader out in the dirt, I'm uploading the video right now.

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

What an awesome model you have built, respect!

How about a stick control video? :)

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

This is truly an amazing build with a lot of detail and time put into it. With that being said now I have to be "that guy". Why with all of the detail that went into it why did you stop at the wheel fasteners and just use plain old lock nuts?

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

My plan was to make covers for the wheel hubs, but totally forget it:mad:
So it's back to the machine shop;)

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

I know what you talking about it is always one more thing.

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

Absolutely a superb job!

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

That is incredible. Thank you so much for sharing. Please keep the videos coming.

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

Incredible machine you have built there :)

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

The model seems to work as well as it looks!! I like the last video the best. That's just me personally,but you can see the whole machine and the work it is doing. I really like when it has a full blade with the sand rolling off the blade. Looks like a real machine. Great job!!

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

I would love to see a video where you show the full range of motion of all of the machine. I know you built a lot of the real functions into it. for instance does the blade shift side to side, do the front wheels tilt, does the cab and boom pivot for tighter steering etc...


Thanks, Again your machine is incredible.

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

WOW that works very well! Can you roll the blade forward some? That would work better for maintaining sand and gravel and the material won't collect on your blade.
Next test get it in some damp clay with the blade back like in the video and lean the wheels to keep the front end from sliding sideways.
Great job!!!!
