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
Fantasic parts! Great job...!
|
Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
Wow! this one will be watched! thank's for sharing this cool project.
Cheer's, Neil. |
Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
Beautiful work! We all appreciate the dedication you are making to Freddy! I will be subscribed for sure.

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
Nice work, I'm glad to see someone building a 24. This should be good.

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. |

Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
Wow. Amazing. Seems the construction models builds just keep getting better and better all the time. Awesome.

Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
Had some time today to work on the rear housing assembly.

Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
Bearings presssed into the differential housing.

Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
Secondary housing with Tandem mounting flange assembly and final drive bearing housing.

Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
Rear housing assemblied without the internal gears and final drive. That will come later.

Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
Wow, another amazing build. Can't wait to see it finished.
|
Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
Wow nice bolting. What size are those bolts? Looks a bit challenging doing the ones with the button heads in the blind hole (unless it was done on the machining center)
|
Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
Wow, that´s beautiful:) Will there be a chain drive to the wheels ?
|
Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
Good grief those axle housings are phenomenal! I really don't know what else to say, except keep the updates coming, as you progress with this!
|
Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
I looked at this last night right before we headed out for dinner. The first thing that came to mind was Holy Sh!t!
What you've done so-far is truly amazing to me! Please keep the pictures and info coming! Reg |
Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
Very nice looking build.
|
Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
Wow, that´s top-class! Really inspiring. Those flanges with the ribs seems like a complicated job. How did you do them? Are you using a four- or more axis mill?
By the way, looks like you are using stainless steel. Right? Stefan |
Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
WOW, I'm astounded the craftsmanship. Way out of my league.
|
Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
I wanna do inappropriate things to that axle housing :O
|
Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
Beautiful work!
Very inspirational. Thanks for sharing. |
Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build

The bolts are M2 x .4 and they were drill and tapped on a machining center. |
