Tractor backhoe - homemade

Can't imagine the amount of work, time and money......

Were you able to find some heavy wall tubing to make those, or from solid round bar stock?

It's made from round tube...got no problems with materials, everything is available you just have to determine optimal size..

Your English is better than mine.

Glad you were able to design for tubing. I used to have to help set up a 10 meter long trepanning machine and another honing machine for tubing. We would typically bore about 4-8mm out of the internal diameter ID on the trepanner and then hone for finish size and smoothness. Usually in the 175mm zone, +/- about 40mm depending on size of oil field operation.

(I honestly don't remember your native language)....

My native is Croatian. What you wrote is a Slovakian word. I only take 2 mm off inside and 1 mm on the outer diameter to get it right

Sorry about that.

My friend at work is a young man who's parents were missionaries in Croatia. He grew up over there and speaks the language "OK" he says. He's going back to Croatia soon to visit old school friends he made when he was young. He is now an aeronautical engineer working as a mechanical engineer.

You built your own cylinders!?

 

[BFreaky]

On the rk 525 yes. This time I got all the new cylinders, factory made. It saves me alot of time. None of them have rod ends so I'm gonna make and weld those in place

 

[texasranger556]

Ahh, that makes more sense. I thought you may have built your own cylinders on a lathe given your skill and desire.

Looking forward to the rest of the build!

 

[BFreaky]

I made a few cylinders...but you can't save much money compared to the new ones because of the time it takes to build one. If I had a cnc lathe it would be a different story.
