The Volvo polybag sounds cool, especially seeing as I missed 42030. -
I very much doubt they'd fit. The diameter of the old hub is too wide at the back.
-
Thanks for the responses, guys! I have, unfortunately, just discovered a hiccup - the newer wheel hubs don't have the clearance to fit entirely on the front axles. They stay on if the backhoe is stationary, but they roll off when it's moved.
-
Trendy hoe.
-
"Smaller than an actual F1 car" would be my guess.
-
Now that would be kewl.
-
Can you actually steer this thing now?
-
This has three more parts than the skid steer, and that set has a fair bit of detailing and complexity for its size. I'm hoping for a repeat performance here.
-
That would be something new(er), but keep in mind telehandlers are usually referred to around Europe as "telescopic loaders".
-
You're thinking of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Marc Isambard Brunel's son.
-
In the interest of accuracy, I feel the need to point out that ripper blades are called "shanks".
-
Woah-ho! Nice work! Fortschritt machinery has a rather unique shape and you've captured it brilliantly. Great use of olive green as well - looks like that colour was made for a model like this.
-
It's even been described as a Technic set, so odds are that it's gonna be a Technic set.
-
I don't think it is.
-
Got you covered:
-
Going by the price point, I'm guessing this is gonna be like 42121's B-model; if the 9R designation is correct, though, it'll have wheels rather than tracks.
-
So creative and unconventional, and a perfect recreation of the original machine! Amazing work.
-
Don't be discouraged. You might want to try the generic help topic if you need any further pointers. Maybe try and get a little further first though.
-
That's the spirit! Keep trying.
-
This means that the actuator will be situated off-centre. Remember that you'll have to find a way of powering it as well - are you hooking it up to a motor directly, or using a gearbox?
-
I honestly think using a different design would help. Plus you can always integrate a PTO and similar structure so the attachments used with the Xerion will still work.
-
Only if you have a C+ battery box. Plus you'll need to reconfigure both models to fit it and the motor.
-
Well done, Jon! Great to hear you're enjoying yourself with the D11. The smaller tracks actually look pretty decent as well.
-
No, you're going in the wrong direction. Plus you don't need so many U-joints. One or two should suffice. Like @Jurss says, a little more info on your overall design would help.
-
Yeah. With the manual axle out of the way, you could use these pins on either side of the input end of the actuator to attach it to the beams.
