Default Re: Cat 374 Excavator build

Got the bucket done .. It was a day of distractions so i made a whoopsy on one of the teeth and another on the back of the bucket - oh well The teeth are mild steel and i still have a few burs that i missed
I have played with the pump , but was only getting about .5 lt per minute ,So too slow without changing motor combos to find the magic number , i was running 2500 rpm to the pump. Although i found that old PC650 thread and noticed he used an industrial pump . It turns out i can get a 1.6cc pump for between 150 - 300 Aus , A 250 kv motor for $100 Aus .So i looked some more and found a 3 spool valve with 1/4 fittings that i could easily mode to take servos instead of the levers , just like the guy with the PC650 - he is a member here , but i can not remember his name . So it looks like i will give up on the home made pump and buy industrial as i have the room . More on that next week .
