Yup big!! Looks good!! Post some pics of how it works, insides ect. I'm always on the look out for how others build things, can always learn something and see the ingenuity of other minds :)

Re: Cat looking loader
Hay guys thanks for all the feed back! It's not ready for the dirt yet I still have to mount the steering cylinders,pump,valve body and esc. Then maybe a test run. Hop fully this weekend I can get more done and post more pic.

Re: Cat looking loader
Had some time to work on the loader. So I got one of the steering cylinders mounted I have all the brackets for the other side made so it should go quickly.

Re: Cat looking loader
Hello Radar very nice work so far. I see you use mostly steel that is good it will last a lifetime. Ed

Re: Cat looking loader
How come you didn't go with the TXT-1 axles? It's more than twice the reduction and a lot more mass grabbing with the gears vs just a crown & pinion.
|
Re: Cat looking loader
I used those axels be cause I had them I know thay won't last long. But I will look into those if ya don't mind send me a link were I can get them thx for the info
|
Re: Cat looking loader
Looking for a link I see the axle/trk kit was discontinued in 2012, but some good alternatives would be the Blackwell axles..
http://store.rc4wd.com/Blackwell-X1-...xle_p_451.html ... or even the Bully Comp axles (I've never used them myself) eliminating the need for a transmission, transfer case & driveshafts. http://store.rc4wd.com/Bully-2-Compe...le_p_3324.html |
Re: Cat looking loader
The txt 1 axles were the best. Too bad they don't make them anymore

The axle used in most German loaders and dumpers with a traditional driveline. |
Re: Cat looking loader
Nice - wish I had the skills to build my own!
Since short, ScaleArt has added a drive axle for wheel loaders to their catalog. Bit pricey though. 425 € with 19% sales tax and 358 € without the tax https://scaleart-shop.de/en/Drive-Te...l-loaders.html |
Re: Cat looking loader
you have cat paint and deere logos, but looks cool. Hope I can make one 1 day
|
Re: Cat looking loader
Hay thx I stole the cab of a ertl loader not sure if I'm going to use that one or try to build one.
|
Re: Cat looking loader
Got the last two ears tacked on the bucket and the connecting rod made. And started running lines almost time to test it. I will finish welding it when I know it works right

Re: Cat looking loader

Re: Cat looking loader
I need a new transmission the r2 2 speed did not hold up. I would like to get a r2 heavy duty trans for it but it is never in stock at rc4wd. Can any body tell me if the plan r2 will be any better or is there a better option?
And sorry about the pics i will get more up soon |

If i remember correct i saw some discussion somewhere not sure where. The HD one was way better.............wish i knew. After my last fight with RC4WD and delivery time, resulted in they changed most of the higher value parts out of stock on the site. just wonder why ? they order them from Asia anyway. So instead of looking on the site....waiting for stock....to come back....it newer will. Send them a mail ask what they have in stock of what you need and have them send that. And order what they need to ship from Asia Separately Just my 2 c |
Re: Cat looking loader
rcbrmin has some transmissions and I think they might be the same sh!t as RC4WD. Not sure if they have stock either though as I haven't checked.
