Beautiful machine, would be nice to have a realistic looking operator in the seat.

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
Wow, awesome model. I move the real ones a couple times a week. We have about 20 in our rental fleet between Deere and Hitachi which are the same machine. Is that plumbing on the stick for the bucket or a future hammer???

That's cool, I work with these machines as well, both excavators, wheel loaders and dumpers, though ours are Volvo, boss is a Volvo freak! The plumbing on the stick is for the hydraulic tilt bucket, maybe for more attachments later. Thanks for all nice comments guys! Here are a few more pics of the bucket. |

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
Thanks everyone!
I have finally painted it, but I do have some leakage problems with the M3x2mm swivel connectors on the lower hole on the cylinders, I have a hard time getting them to seal tight, I have had best luck with locktite 542 but also that gave after when I accidentally rotated the swivel, any tips on these or similar connectors? can't be much larger. Here's some pics and video. [/URL] |

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
What you doing making movies indoors this time of yr Kalle?!
The swivel leak - what threads into the cyl or the hose on the barbed or the swivel joint itself leaks?

Hopefully I'm going home soon and hope for good weather this time. The swivel joint, where it contacts the cylinder body, lower hole on cyl. It's the M3 one's, there isn't much thread that goes into the cyl and I also don't think that the little o-ring can handle the +20 bars, I got one tight but I think I was lucky there, I need to make a new more bulletproof connector I think, feels like they can start leaking anytime! Or maybe turn some thin aluminum washers (0.8-1.0mm) instead of the o-rings?? Last edited by Azonic; 07-01-2014 at 11:50 AM. |

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
Today I made a aluminum washer 5.5x0.5x3mm for the swivel connector, seem to work just fine so far, the washer and some Locktite 542 probably made it to seal like it should, more testing tomorrow!
Also started to wonder what to make of the original kit bucket, I dont have a straight cut bucket exept the grading bucket, but I really like it with the teeths! What you think? |

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
I went with a straight cut, it's nice to have one like that as well.
Today I started to make a ditch and the tilt bucket worked great, no leaks! It's quite hard to run the tilt bucket, it's quite sensitive so you have to run low rpm and slow movements on the sticks and potentiometer that I run the bucket with. Need a little more practice with it, here is some pics, video later this week. Last edited by Azonic; 07-06-2014 at 04:57 PM. |

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
Looks great, like you could just climb into the seat and start digging!
