The main driving force will be oil. Therefore, a low-power motor capable of driving the oil pump is necessary. At first, I chose a single-circuit oil pump with a volume of 10 cm³. However, this will greatly limit the potential of the loader. Practice has shown that when all consumers - motors...

On wheels

Just slapping on the boom, tipper plate, and both hydro cylinders now!

Dabbling between tasks, slapping some paint on another car!

Sliding the hubs into their spots! We're talking cone-shaped fittings, snugged tight with a nut and cotter pin.

Oh noes, I'm just rockin' a regular milling machine here. A turret mill? Nah, ain't got any gigs for that yet. It's like, totally overkill. Anyways, back to the grind! Slapping these hydraulic motors right where they belong – one per wheel, naturally. We're talkin' 560 Newtons of raw power...

I also apply epoxy primer to the hub. It shouldn't rust.

The paint has dried and now I can put it on wheels. For this, I need to finish the wheel hubs. I specifically use regular car rims so that in case of damage I won't have to look for special ones and pay three times more. I have already turned the hubs on a lathe. It remains to make holes and cut...

I think it turned out pretty well and, most importantly, it's unusual. I haven't seen this kind of color on work equipment before. I need to think, maybe I should make them my "Colors"?)))

Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate it! Now, the continuation. So, I hung the parts of the loader in the air and started painting. First, the epoxy primer, then the enamel. Unfortunately, I miscalculated the amount of paint, and the front part received less than I would have liked.

Of course, this is all a joke, except for the fact that I was forced to change the direction of my workshop. The orders stopped coming in, and I had to become a full-time auto body repair specialist. Yes, retraining took a lot of time, effort, and money, so the forklift assembly work had to be...

Under the threat of causing serious injury, they work much more carefully.:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: I tried so hard... Sweat streamed down my face, my hands shook, and at times, the breath left my body. But... I did it. I survived and even received a reward for my work.

So, I chose the best training option - DANGEROUS. I found a madman who let me tear apart his car. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

I began with my friend's hood. He brought me some paint, and I fixed some minor dents and painted the hood. Completely free, even though it's a commercial vehicle. It was a good experience to discover I'm a terrible painter.

Hello everyone! I’ve been away for a few months without sharing my progress on building my loader. Now it’s time to paint it, and before diving into this exciting task, I needed to learn and get the hang of it, as we say here in Russia. I bought the necessary equipment, converted part of my...
