hmm... so what is the length from center pivot to the bucket teeth in this picture (or what its reach @ ground level)?

The 374 is progressing beautifully Ari... but have you been spending any time with the grader outside this summer? Need more eye candy of that machine in motion, plz!

Once again Ari, you've excelled yourself. It looks stunning - When you taking orders

Technical question from a dumb *** ( me )

Shouldn't the super structure sit on a thrust bearing or can the bearing you fitted take the heavy load from above, ie side load??

Looks to me like you're just stalling off on building those track pads.

Looks great!

It's not a dumb question Elliot, I was thinking that myself but I think they will hold. If necesary I can attach bronce ring under the upper structure that will rotate over the ring gear. Those thrust bearings tends to be too high and they

The length from center pivot to the bucket teeth is 95 cm.

And what comes to the grader I have used it few times but didn't have my camera with me

Wow this is great! I was real interested to see how you did the swing. I think the dual ball bearings will be fine. My milling machine has a similar arrangement for the spindle bearings to keep the spindle from moving up and down and it can spin 3250 rpm.
