Another Tigercat...
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 |

Re: Another Tigercat...
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...
Sure did! Cheapest way I could see to get two heavy duty ring and pinion sets... I even smashed apart the motors and used the shafts(modified of course) and bearings. Later I'll cut them to length and connect them to the rest of the driveline. I'm headed out to the shop soon to bash some more tin.

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?

Re: Another Tigercat...
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...
It's been over a month but I spent a little time welding on my skidder today. I have some time off coming up so I hope to have more time to devote to this.
