CAT 14M Motor Grader

Great looking Grader. I'm curious about the weight. I fear you might not have enough weight to make it perform up to your design standards.

I´m estimating the weight to be little over 10 kilograms, is that enough, will just have to wait the test drive results

I got the wheel lean cylinder done. It was very difficult task to do, due the limited space for the cylinder lenght. I use only one o-ring in the piston and in the rod seal, to get the cylinder as short as possible. It has total of 18mm stroke. It appears to be holding the pressure (15 bar)
The wheels lean a bit more to the other way, but will just have live with it

Ari, you are doing a great job. As far as weight, i don't think you will have a problem, since yours is made from aluminum. You're looking at about 22lbs @ 10 kilo. You may have to add some shot to the tire for traction. I have not weighted mine out yet but I think it's tipping the scale somewhere around 35lbs.

Keep up the good work!
