Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader

Wow it's really starting to take shape:cool:
What grade of aluminium are you using? The endmill is leaving an awfully nice finish without any coolant or cutting oil.

Re: TheMachinist

Thanks Greg.
This little guy is going to be fussy as to the terrain it runs on, with smooth tires and no suspension it will have to spend it's service life on hard sufaces.

Re: Butler Bros Mark 5 logging truck

the bolt patterns are just dimples with a center drill. Once the rims are painted they will look better.

Re: Butler Bros Mark 5 logging truck

Yes they are a nice lathe. Where I work still has one from when it opened in the 1930's. Simple design and quite sturdy.

Re: Replacement tires for Wedico 740

If the tires are just slipping on the rim and are still in good shape I could turn a new set of rims with a larger diameter to fit the tires. If you don't have any luck getting new ones.

Re: Butler Bros Mark 5 logging truck

The truck will be 1/12 scale and I think there were a few different versions of the truck but not many were produced. Steamer knows a fellow in Victoria who worked building them and has info on them.
