8265 Front Loader question

[Darth Legolas]

Just a quick question, when adding the M-motor to 8265, does it fit under the hood? Also, can that one motor power all 3 linear actuators?

Yes and yes.

Yes and yes.

Thank God. I am about to get it, and I was afraid I might have to turn the bottom actuators manually even with the motor, or that the hood above the engine would have to stick up to accommodate the motor.

I'm just going to guess that the driving ring in there switches between the top actuator and the bottom, but if I'm wrong, don't tell me!

You're right.

Without motor 8265 is very annoing.

Thanks! Will watch it after I get it and build it... don't want to spoil anything! I still don't see how there's any room for that motor, but since there is, no complaints here!

You're right.

I'm catching on!
