MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build

[pugs]

Do you work around a 24m? How did you get all this detail figured out? It looks awesome!

Wow! This grader is amazing. Still trying to get my head around the size of it. The molded-in tire markings make them look real, rather than just large rounds of rubber. What are the dimensions of the tires?

Waiting to see all the pieces come together as a machine. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the Wow! Ken and everyone else that has stopped by to checkout my build.
As for the tires... The diameter is 130.5mm (~5-1/8") x 54mm (~2-1/8") wide. The weight with the aluminum wheel and rubber is 751g (~26.5oz). Once I get the frame together I will give you a scale reference of some sort.

Hey Pugs... I had never been around a 24 or even anywhere close to one or any grader for that matter. All the details of my design came from what I found in pictures and videos from the internet. I did a lot of research on this model to get it as close a possible to full scale. I still have a lot left to do.
