Good Day everyone,
after more than one year of planning, having spent more than 250 hours in front of my PC I finally started working on my beloved Steiger Panther IV. Back in 2017 during a road trip I visied the Fargo Plant in Fargo, ND ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I got to take lots of photos in 2009 back in Australia that really helped. ![]() ![]() ![]() 11 years a batchelor and a masters degree in engineering later I was finally capable of designing one in Tamiya scale. Since I live in a metric world I used mostly 1mm, 1,5mm and 2mm sheet metal that gets welded together using my Lampert U5 welder. Lets start with the cab: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Next step axles and frame. ![]() Last edited by Quad-Dog; 03-06-2021 at 05:59 PM. |

Very nice, looking forward to following this. Were your parts cut out with a laser?

Continued with the axles. They will later on house two motors each for decent traction. ![]() ![]() ![]() Base of the cabine and part of the main frame ![]() I love the spotwelding ![]() ![]() Continued on the main frame: ![]() ![]() Done... ![]() ![]() |

:O This is so cool! I'm not planning to do an engineering masters degree, but I can probably manage 11 years of not marrying anyone. Do you think that's enough for me to be allowed to do an awesome build like this?

Beautiful work
![]() I have a 1982 Panther CT-1325 that my dad bought new. It has the 3 piece front window for a wider, more rounded cab, I luv that tractor! It was a big tractor in its day & decades more advanced than its competitors... I still use it today to pull a heavy harrow with granular chemical applicator, I get a few days use from it every spring... it's gotten too small to pull anything else, unfortunately... they don't make 'em as quiet & comfortable as they use to.

Thx guys
![]() I´ve actually been thinking about looking into building the CT-1325 ![]() Had a little play with the 3D printer ![]() Checked the tread ![]() And checked the interior ![]() Built a few steps ![]() And put the cab on top of the frame ![]() |

Fantastic metal work, integrated with 3D prints takes it to another level.
Nice work... |

That's really slick!
I love how you did the chassis tab&slot thing. The printed parts are looking good

Thx guys. Printed parts will be replaced. I´m not satisfied with the surface of the parts. Would need too much grinding.
I´ve done some testing what tires might look like. ![]() ![]() Not 100% sure if it will be the left or the right one... ![]() ![]() |

What is the material the tires are made from?

Hi Kerst,
as all white parts, they are made of PLA. The tires will be casted in black silicon like material. |

More welding:

Those parts look beautiful, and nice job on the tiny welding!
That machine is going to be a beast.
