Re: D8R +463 in 1/5,6
How to turn a bowl shaped part?
Well, do not have any radie-turning tool for lathe, so had to do as good as possible with normal bits and then making the last steps with a file. Doesn't feels good working with file when lathe is running. Have seen some solutions on net, anyone having suggestion, all input appriciated, need that if making some wheels for next model. Aircleaner top bowl Anti skid plate mounted outside cab, and got some nice cable for GPS, here just testing how it looks. Cables are those that stores selling phones use for safety (prevent stealing the phone). There's different sizes of cables, this one was the smallest one and has right diameter of the spool. Connection in both ends will be remade. When building models, you should always keep eyes open, useable parts are everywhere! Dan |

Nice job on the pre cleaner Dan. If you had a lot of those to make you could make a wooden pattern and spin thin aluminum over it.

Re: D8R +463 in 1/5,6
Thanks guys, me to waiting to hear it.
But found out that aircleaner was missing something, here the real one and model A little hard to see, mesh should should be finer, but this done for durability. Have learned from shows so far that visitors can't read (signs say DO NOT TOUCH) leaning, peeling, and looking with the their fingers Here a close up pic, don't know the reason for why some holes missing but that's the way its looks.

Re: D8R +463 in 1/5,6
Nice detailing again, Dan! Really incredible. Don´t want to push you*, but I see the original air cleaner has some kind of flange at the bottom

Re: D8R +463 in 1/5,6
Did not get it started will not say anything now until I have done the start.
This weeks evenings (have max 2 hours of time/day) redid the connections between machine and pusharms. (old photo some years ago when planning how cab should be done) Was never happy with the simple solution, did mill new ones from a bar. Amazing how much time it took, did use an old steelplate (have not yet made that cheeseplate Reg used) to mill some parts at rotary table. Didn't separate the 2 parts until almost finished, have a swivel bearing inside Had to modify the bolts to fit inside swivel and getting as much movent as possible The new connectors welded to pusharms, looks now like proto Dan |

Havn't figured out how to move dozer without starting engine. Today I have to remove gears in hub reduction but that will not be practical to do every time machine is moved. Don't know how much force needed to get hydraulic motors turning. This weekends update: Steps om push arms was missing, did weld a 6mm steel rod on and increased height with some welds, grinding down to get the anti slip pattern. The rear part of engine comparment was finaly done Connection to ripper is with quick couplings (will use same outlet for scraper), was not satisfied with the small blocks, did make new longer with a recess to take strain from bolt when cylinder moves. Of course, first one was made with connection wrong Planning for some painting next weekend on new or remade parts. Still windows to cut, make the connections at cylinders, but no more new parts on "to do" list. Goal is to have model running 3 rd weekend of june at a show north of Stockholm. If everything goes as planned it can be done but still not convinced that all hydraulic will work flawless from beginning. /Dan |

Re: D8R +463 in 1/5,6
Hey Dan, do you have room to tee in a couple of high pressure ball valves
On the drive motor's? That would give freewheel to the beast! Cheer's, Neil. |

Re: D8R +463 in 1/5,6
Dan,
Have you tried just opening the valves up that are there now? You could do some smarts with the servos... Its gotta be easy to run the receiver and servos without the motor? Cheers, AP |

Neil, there's not room for anything more inside, it's cramped! Will test these when filled up, until then go without gears. Yes Lou, have tried to follow what's shown on tube. I know of one BIG norwegian D11 (1:4 750kg=1600lbs) that has not been seen there yet, guess that will come when snow/winter is over. FOUND IT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MxKX_bhwRI /Dan |

Re: D8R +463 in 1/5,6
Looking really good Dan. As far as moving it, not much different than todays skid steers and track loaders. If engine dies, it sits where it is till fixed, no moving it without something to pick it up. Don't ask how I know (new perkins engines aren't cheap lol ) Old ones had a manual bypass valve you could turn out to beable to tow them, new ones with hydraulic released parking brakes can't do it.
Does the guy with the 1:4 D11 have a build thread anywhere?

Re: D8R +463 in 1/5,6
D8R-the dozer is looking great! If you want to see how a good operator works, check out D9Joes videos. He is by far the best operator I have seen. Looks just like a real machine working. He is the class of the field in my opinion.
