Liebherr R944C

[Ulrich]

Hi folks,
some weeks ago the 944 came in for a general service inspection.















After some years of hard work he got new cyls, a new and larger hyd pump with a new tank and some improvement on the undercarriage. The electrics are gooing to be newly assembled.

Excellent - time for a service, at least you can have it up and running for the summer!

Slightly off topic... the wheel loader in the back ground, do you have any other info on it?

@Elliot: I hope I´ll have it done till summer. As always way to much projects for constantly less free time. The loader is a Liebherr L550, at least the prototype in PS. You can see the first parts of the tail-frame in brass. If requested I can post some pics, but what you see has been lying there for almost a year. The styrene is already becoming yellow ...

Lots of projects on your workbench Ulrich, will you be ready for the springtime shows? How many shows do you attend in a yr? Do any landscaping in your backyard?

Who's the maker of your hyd parts? What size tubing are you using? What is the volume of your pump?

@Joe: Thanks. Last year it´s been one event, so it only can get better. Still no backyard, so no landscaping there. Maybe at the end of the year... As I´ve always wrote, I do envy your playground.

The cyls are from Martin Kampshoff, some parts as the tank are from me. The valves as always from Ulrich Meinhardt. The pump is a Jung 4xxx? (gotta look that up) The tubes are 4/2,7mm on the main cyls, 3/1,5mm on the secondary system and between pump/tank/valves it´s all 5/3mm.

@Stuff: the sticker says "playsafe", so it kinda matches. If it´s not ready to play you can´t get hurt. lol.
As I wrote there´s no time to finish the loader, as well as the 904, 954,...

And I see you making a new loader too.

Whoa! it just blows me away sometimes seeing some of the machines that get built on here!

Thanks for the photo's Ulrich.
Is the 944 a scratch build machine or did it start out as a kit ? Do Martin and Ulrich have company web sites ?

Cheers

Good morning folks.
@darkrider: thanx. Still there´s always room or improvement as you can see.

@greg: the excavator is completely scratch built, except the motors and electronics . The guys I mentioned are like friends of mine. The first hyd system almost eight years ago was made by Leimbach. That one I bought. The metalwork itself is "homemade".

Ulrich doesn´t have a webpage, you can only reach him over dicussion boards.

Martin has one: http://www.modellbau-kampshoff.de.tl/

Just found two more pics of the tilt-bucket. This one for example was milled out of brass. Still better looking bolts are missing.





You can also see parts of the quicklink to attach buckets.

Hi Ulrich, if and when you get time to finish the wheel loader project, I'd be interested in seeing the progress, it would be useful. I'd love to have a go at building one.

Thanks
