I am a big fan of your R984C!

Hi, what kind of soldering/ brazing? Silver or soft? Did you use any flux?

@Joe

well, yes... the bucket... don't forget the chains

let me just throw in the counter weight. It was milled from a solid Aluminum block 410x180x80mm with a weight of 16Kg. The finished Block is round about 5Kg and way too light. It will receive some inlays from lead to bring it to the necessary weight again. I try to bring it up to 17Kg. First some drawings, you can see the lead blocks inside the weight, how it should be finished and right from the mill.

Hi

I must say that it was a very good looking 984.
I can not believe how you make all the parts. Do you have the original drawings or do you have an excavator disassembled that you copy?

To my next question. I have repaired a 984 many times and my brother drives one at the job. He is totally in love with it.
So I have planned to do a small copy of the counterweight to his birthday, but I have problems with the drawings. then I saw that you've just made one of those, and one that looked very much like the original.
So I was thinking of doing a little long shot and hear if you stil have the cad drawings and if you want to sell a copy to me.

I would be very grateful if you could. I'm a little tired of climbing on the machine with my measuring tape
