LR634 is HERE!!!!! Tracked loader

[avel]

I made a test piece out of laminated styrene to replace the stock link that curls the bucket. I know it looks horrible, hopefully my final one is out of aluminium and will look a lot better. I lengthened it twice because my measurements were way off, eyeballing it didn't work



Ok, the stock distance from hole to hole is 62.9mm. The new one is longer and the distance from hole to hole is 66.5mm.

This is the stock link.



Here is the modified link, camera wasn't moved. I didn't check the focus that's why its blurry and looks like the camera was moved.



Modified link again. Bucket curl maxed out, hitting the arms.



Stock link at a little less than maximum lift.



Modified link.



I forgot to take this picture with the modified link installed, but to get this range of motion I took out the glued on spacer around the curl piston rod that limits how much the piston can extend.



Here's a picture of the spacer. It is 15.1mm long.



Tracking says I should get the Orings on Monday, so hopefully I will have a video by then to show the new range of motion and/or any catastrophic failure
