1/10 Liebherr Excavator R 984 Litronic

Then the tube needed a clean-up. For this i made a simple 4 jaw chuck, whitch worked really fine for this light cut. After this i made some brass cubes for connecting the pipes. Again I made a little tool to chuck the square stock centric in the 3 jaw.

Ah, Permatex! Amazon supply this stuff in Germany. I'll take a try on the cylinders for the next model.

There are more pictures from the cylinders, so here we go. Pic 1 and 2 is the bucket cylinder (equal on the R984 and the R9100). Pic #3 is the stick cylinder (single on the R9100 with a much bigger diameter, 30mm bore and 18mm rod), pic #4 is a hoist cylinder for the R9100 and the last pc shows the front end of the R984-hoist cylinder in detail.

Hope, those many pictures are not boring you guys!

Ah some more of you excellent work. The tube bending is hard I have done some on my excavator. Ed

I just found out, that there is no picture in my album just showing a completed cylinder, anyway, here a last pic for now from the cylinders.

Then I wanna continue with some railing work i did for both excavators. It´s all brass tubes with 4mm diameter, just the same as for the hydraulic pipes. The railings in the last 2 pics belong to the R9100. I used a small tube bender and a microflame to heat up the pipes before bending. That makes the brass soft.
