Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
Looks great. The 24M is a big one:)
Nice thought to dedicate this build for Freddy´s memory. |
Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
What an entrance:eek::eek: 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!! |
Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
Can't wait until I can draw 3D stuff like that! (Taking 3D classes this spring)

Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
How many are you making:eek::eek: Missed the extras in the background of the last pic!!!

Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
Nice looking work. Looks like 5 axis cnc machine? What kind?

Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
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.;)

Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
Heck of an entrance! Freddy would have dislocated his jaw seeing this! Fabulous results so far. :cool:

Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
Nice work! I am envious of folks who have cnc machines, while I stand over my manual mill for hours trying to make a small part.:D

Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
Good start so far! Cant wait to see more.

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. |
