I've been somewhat reluctant to post this build because it has already been done by others(greatly I might add) and I kinda feel like I'm being a copy cat but I like the machine so here it goes... 1/10th again... Tigercat 630D...
Two brand new griders were destroyed for this build...RIP:D |

Please ignor the rubber bands... I ordered a rotary table and chuck today to drill the bolt patterns in the axles and wheels/hubs.

Re: Another Tigercat...

How did you break your griders? :( Can't wait to see the finished product! :D |

I didn't really get much done tonight... lame. Too much time looking at pictures and not enough time turning the images into real life, or scale life:confused:.LOL |
Re: Another Tigercat...
Well Thanks. I've seen your work and I'm sure you will do just as well if not better than my stab at it. The tires look much better than the ones I used for sure. When you say mills, does that mean pepper mill/ grinder?

Here's the grinders I used... Under $20 each at princess auto. They had some for less online but they were out of stock at the store nearby. As most of you have probably figured out I'm impatient and wanted them that day.
I haven't decided how to power it yet, all I know is that it will take a lot to spin 4tires this size! |
Re: Another Tigercat...
Looks like you are well on your way to another great build. Nice work!!

Re: Another Tigercat...
Rcp57. Hot Dog!! A Tigercat skidder,They are great machine and it will be neat to see it powered up and moving a turn or two of logs. Keep up the good work, looking forward to the finished model. Fred

Re: Another Tigercat...
Reg. looking real good. Just sent a couple of emails for the 630D. The 635D is a real monster, with the tandem axles. Are you setting up a logging show on the coast.

Re: Another Tigercat...
RCP 57, I used the Tigercat web site for most of the specs. I had the same results as you trying to deal with them directly but after the fact they were a cut above using the completed model in their company magazine. They are good people and most likly quite busy. Your best shot at getting it right is the 1to1 behind your house. You no doubt looked at the Tigercat website but I will enclose the link. Fred
