Mounted some of the last parts:

Did some cardboard engineering today: Burned it out: Tapped it and drilled some holes: Made mounting brackets: And tacked it on:

Drilled and bored out the retaining block: Milled it down: Cut an angle: Welded together: Turned down the lever: And knurled it: Welded it on: Finished: Didn`t have longer, or the right tubing, but that looks great:

Thanks guys. Can`t wait to finish it too... Continued turning the dies today: Both finished: Don`t have hydraulic tubing yet, but copper fit`s: Bored out some flat bar for the lever: Welded some round stock in the bigger die and turned it down: Turned a bushing for...

You nailed it. Just need to build a fancy one, but i`m out of ideas now... Ok, so i decided that i`d like to use hydraulic tubes instead of hoses where it`s possible. So i need to build a tubing bender. But to built a tubing bender i need to machine some dies. To do this i need to make a radius...

Got the hydraulic valves today: Changed the lever direction: Cut a mount: Center punched the mounting holes : Bolted it together: Mocked it up: One side tacked on: Did some cardboard engineering: Tacked it on: Drivers view:

Started by making the left side panel today: Then i made the left floor panel: And the right one: Made a cover for the winch line: Mounted the first shifter: And the second one:

Yes, but i doubt this`ll be a problem cause this machine probably won`t see many hours compared to a excavator or something like this... Finished the first three bushings today: Mounted both inners, so i could start with the floor: Didn`t like it, so i started over. But i have to...

Well, haven`t found out how to control hydraulics without valves? :smiley_drive: Will have a total of 8 hydraulic valves in two circuits. Circuit 1 is for the steering,at about 2600psi. Circuit two consist`s of: -tilt ram, floating -front end loader, floating, -winch -front aux 1 -front aux...

That`s what i think too. More electronics means more stuff that can break... Btw., just bit the bullet and ordered some hydraulic valves. Seven to be exact... :Wow1:

Thanks... Turned the boogie axle bushings today: Turning plastic creates a big mess: Finished. One missing because i screwed up. Well, it`s just $20 worth of plastics and cleaning up that mess again, right? Parts pile is still growing: Also got another shifter assembly to use for...

Got the two pressure gauges today: Wanted them to be illuminated, so i tried something: Perfect:

The postman shows up every day, and the pile of "parts i need to find some room for" grows steady: Then i continued working on the boogie axle bushings: I eventually finished it, also tested the hydraulic oil temp gauge:

Looks like i finally found a solution for the shifter. After some (read: a lot) research i found out that the Daihatsu Terios has way longer shifter cables than normal cars do. So i went ahead and bought a shifter with cables: When mounted here there is about 6-8" cable lenght left for...

Bought some steel today: Then i continued working on the axle bushings:

Mounted the combination switch today: Then i started building the bogie axle bushings: Drilled them: Sawed them: One cut, three missing... Here`s a vid where i show all the funkctions yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuxU5Y7Iu_M I`m also thinking about the shifter linkage...

Didn`t know it, but found out now that it`s a diode. It sits between the wiper and wash motors so that when the wash switch is closed the wiper motor also runs but not vice versa. Continued on the wiring harness today: Had some help: Finished. Where the knife lays is the cut between the...

Decided to go with the oem wiring instead of building a custom one. I`ll also use the oem dash. But i can`t use the speedo, and don`t want a dead gauge in the dash. So i pulled it apart: Cut it out: And placed a volt gauge: Then i started messing with the wiring loom. Plan is to reduce...

Went with an elbow and locking collar...

Thanks, but i just copied it from Pistenbully. Started with the steering valve today: Made a mount for it: Tacked it on: Bent the lever: Perfect fit: Now i just need to build something like a quick removal device for the lever, otherwise it`s getting a bit complicated to get in...
