Another Tigercat...

[RCP57]

Sorry Earl but this thing hasn't had much attention in a long time. It has been on the bench, looked at and put back on the shelf several times but no progress has been made. I would really like to see it operating but I just can't seem to muster the interest needed to build the cylinders and air cylinders are hard to find(expensive) in the strokes I need. I have all the necessary materials just not the determination....

Well it has been a long time since this thing has had any attention but for some reason I got a bee in my bonnet the last few days and threw it back on the bench. After about 3 days and over 30 hours in my shop this is what I have...

Completely one off hydraulics, pump, valves and cylinders(some of these parts were already made). They even work!...well kinda One cylinder in the grapple has a leaky O ring and the valve for the blade is out of whack. This was my first attempt at soldering anything like this so I was pretty relieved when none of the joints leaked. At least not yet...
