Volvo G990 Grader

This time I have some pictures from the building of the rear frame.







My first hard soldering job in over thirty years. A bit overheated


But o.k. looks better after cleaning.






In the original machine these bars are the ultimate attachment points for the rear frame installations including the engine, the cooling fan with its casing and the engine cowl. In all essential only the tank (between the frame bars at the rear end) and, of course, the tandem axle have separate attaching means.














Weight as shown 3.8 kg (8.4 lbs). B.t.w. the weight of front frame, as shown in an earlier installment, is 6.2 kg (14 lbs).
