Looks very nice Kalle.

I bet you are happy.. I want to see and hear more videos og it in wet snow.. it sounds great!

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
 

Looks too purty... squirts some oil at it, then empty your vaccum into the box. :D

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
 

Looks very shinny, Joe I just laughed my _ _ _ off at you comment, I think if he did dump oil on it and then the vaccum it would still be cleaner than your iron... lol

Thanks Elliot!

Im sure happy its done and it looks good, i will make some kind of snow video as soon as im done with the 470, there is always something you want to finish before you can play! :)

Thx Joe,

Haha! My vaccum bag is always empty, i rather stay in the garage then go home to vaccum cleaning my flat! :) It will get dirty as soon as the white stuff goes away!

Thx! Im pretty sure youre right about that last scentence! :)

Thx!

As soon as spring comes around i will get out and get it dirty for sure, i think i have the perfect spot for some mudding! :)

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
 

Very well done. Great looking machine!

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
 

A little more done on my quick coupler, i painted it, added a sticker of a Swedish brand that makes rototilts, attachments and quick couplers, I also tryed it out in the snow yesterday, it got all wet, i just let it sit over the night to see it there would be any rust problems in the cylinder holes, i did lube the cylinders, worked all good when i tryed the coupler next day.

So im very happy all in all so far with it, im going to waterproof the cover part and do a water test later on to see how waterproof it can get.

Here is how it lookes now, ill try to make a better video this weekend.

Truck looks great --- but you already know it is too clean! The electric quick coupler is a real gem. Very clean install and looks to be positive-locking - sometimes a problem on the real ones.
Great job on both!

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
 

Thx! Yea, i did get it stuck the other day in a very sticky mud, was even hard to pull out by hands, its dirty now! :)

The coupler works good for me this far, might be different in 1:1:s, do they get stuck or what?


I had some playtime yesterday, i did a trench and it was a lot of fun, especially to let the water through from the water puddle! :)

A lot of the material i filmed was direct in the sun so i had to scrap alot of video.

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
 

I've had trouble with my mechanical coupler getting jammed with mud.
I have a Cat 305C CR mini excavator.
Yes digging drain ditches can be a pain due to mud, packing everywhere!
Look's great so far!
Cheer's, Neil.

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
 

Good video-your models look good and seem to work really well. Nice job!

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
 

Yes i can understand that a mechanical coupler get stuck in the mud! :) I have operated a few different Volvo 140:s and they had hyd couplers and they got stuck as well sometimes when the bucket had sat to long in the coupler and rust and other effects made it stuck.

But some "shaking" with the bucket and some light pressing made it come loose at last. :)

Shouldnt be a problem on the scale coupler i hope!

Thanks alot! :)


I also turned down 2 more comfortable stickgrips for my radio, turned out pretty good, im all new to machining parts, i wanted to make them a little concave where i hold my fingers, but i couldnt figure out how to make it concave on the manual lathe, very hard to turn it even over the whole part, any tips?

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
 

Nice vid Kalle and nice canal as well. Its nice to dig with a purpose as well. Where was the Bell ?

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
 

Thanks elliot!

I cant dig without a purpose, sure i can but i get bored after 5min, i have to do something that will be something, thats much more fun! :)

The Bell was in the background, there will be a cleaning up video from the same place where i did the trench, the Bell will take care of that! :)
