YOU ARE AMAZING the things you do with metal are stunning would you ever sell one simply the best work i have ever seen here wow

[Stefan]

Thanks Jack! Finished the ball joint ends for the cylinders.












At the bottom right you see scrap parts from the spherical bearings from which I extracted the balls and the bearing inlays.

This is fenomenal!

What to say
and at 5am, you must be kidding Stefan.

[Cooper]

Nice work on the bearing extraction.

[Stefan]

More than overdue as the old cloud provider disabled the direct picture linking (luckily the old links are still valid). In the meantime the indexing bar and (all) cylinders were finished.

WOW!!!!! Looks terrific! Only thing is, where are the grease fittings on the bearing blocks???


Just kidding! This is one outstanding build.

[Stefan]

Thanks Lynn!
The grease fitting seats are at the arrows. They just haven´t been fitted yet. The central grease hole is barely visible in the next pic.





Not kidding

You just got elevated to a master craftsman I was looking more for a grease fitting in the bearing block not the ball joint itself. What other thing have you put in this work of art that you haven't shown us yet?!?!

Second thought- you are way above a master craftsman!!

[TRUCKMAKER]

So why can't I see the pictures, Lynn you got x-ray vision. Been following this from the beginning, first time I'm not seeing it?!

[AbelVincze]

Me neither... Whould be good to see these pictures too

[tc1cat]

Nice clear up close pics!! No idea why you can't see them.

[sparkycuda]

The build is well beyond my imagination. Just can't believe this is a model. Amazing craftsmanship!

[jack van]

[AbelVincze]

[Bo Wallen]

Oh lordi lordi ......When awesome goes Brilliant ..... Just waiting for the miniature grease gun to be made.........

P.S. Grader is on my must have item list.

[Stefan]

@All: Thanks a lot for the positive comments.

@Lynn: Ok, I was kidding a bit The grease fittings will not be operational - but coming to think of it...

@Kent: Hope you can see the pictures now.

@Jack: Yeah, haven´t had it all put together for a long time now, so think that would be a good idea. But no such pics at the moment. Sorry!

@Bo: Hopefully someone else builds the miniature grease gun Maybe some day in a very far future my second grader will be for sale

if this is a 1/8 scale what do you expect the final weight to be around

[Stefan]

Simply based on scaled down real weight I estimate it to be at least 40 kg. Extra implements like ripper and front blade not included.
