Copper, truckmaker thanks a bunch

I've been giving this some thought since the hi-tech 645MG does a nice job of steering , I might give the firgelli actuators a shot for the blade functions . Anyone know the actual length of the 50mm stroke pin center to pin center closed ? I got plenty other places to put that pump and valves in

Well that's too bad... an all electric set up would have been perfect for this lil beast, all the extra space could've been used for steel & lead weight.

I'm really liking those crows feet, hoping it's sooner than later when you make another run.

right now it weighs in at 20lbs 9.5oz w/out the blade . the wheels are the majority of the weight (3-3.5 lbs a piece ), I suppose I could make them work . It's just moving the tilt boss on the blade back 10mm . Then I can fill the oil tank with BB's .

when I clean the mill out to run steel I'll throw them in the schedule .

Hey Steve, which way did you have the phone oriented?
That would make a fun meat tenderizer, HMM, now I'm in the mood for BBQ

I was going to go with firgellis (don't worry I got another place to use them ) but time is running short for cabin fever . Cylinder production is almost complete so ,WTH , get er done cap nuts and we good to go .







of course we throw nothing away stack is made from setup pieces and leftover tube . inside is a piston that had chatter in o-ring groves

Hey, Steve, looks like you hit another home run! How you got all that stuff under the hood is a magic trick in itself. Decals and glass will top it off. I really like the blade mechanism - just like the real thing.

You may have covered hydraulic cylinder making in another thread, but do you use single or double o-rings on the piston? O-ring for the rod packing?

Ken

TY . I use o-rings on the piston and an X-ring for rod seal/wiper . On these I put a o-ring behind the X-ring for the rod seal/wiper . seams to work well so far .
