Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
I was making the steering cylinders today. The wheel lean function makes the job a bit harder as you need to have ball joints on both ends of steering cylinder. The piston diameter is 8 mm.

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
Thanks guys
Next job is to make the center shift lock cylinder. I just got it drawn, and I might start machining it today I attach a picture of the 14M parts catalog so you know what cylinder this is. Happy New year 2019 for everybody

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
I see you have been using your Lampert welder on the front control arms. How well are the welds holding up? I was hoping to get one of those rigs this year but it never made it into my budgit this year.

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
So far they are holding up. I was slightly worried about the welds, but now I have taken the front axle apart several times, and it's still intact. That profile is 3x4mm so the seams are quite small.

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
I haven't done much machining this weekend, just drawing parts. Mainly the drawbar and the circle. I thing I have to spend about half of the build time to drawing the parts, so it's not just machining

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
Hemi
Superb workmanship and really inspirational project. I have question on your homemade cylinders. Do you use a specific steel for the rod, ie precision ground drill rod, or regular steel? Also what type of oring? Silicone? Viton? I really want to try to make a working cylinder for a dozer. Love the grader - masterpiece! Best regards, Bob |

For the rods I use 1.4021 stainless steel. I'm using both Nitrile and Viton o-rings.
