Got about $700 worth of hydraulic tubing:

The bender works great:

Glad to see you back working at it Steinez!:wings:

 

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Doing my best getting back to work, but this stuff is really expensive. Was about $700 for the tubing and another $500 for the connectors and stuff. But i should get it the next days and then i can start to bend some tubing...

Ouch thats spendy, But hardlines will be worth it!! Cant wait to see this thing done.

 

[chilliwak]

I know these things are at a high cost Steinez. You should see what I spent on my rigs this year!:Wow1:

 

[chnlisle]

Julian,
Winters on the way. Will it be done?

 

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Well, that`s the plan. Not actually be completely finished but ready for some test driving. If it`s working i`m planning on building a grooming sled for it so i can use it, before finishing all the small stuff that will be left to finish it.

Going to start bending some tube tomorrow. Just need to find out how to do this, so the finished tubes actually fit...

Started building the rear body panel today:

Drilled it:

Needed some washer to reinforce it, so i made some:

Everything together:

Tacked on:

Then i started bending the easiest tube:

Finished:

Fit`s great:

And the second one:

Getting close! All the little details eat some serious time!

 

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Yes, it takes an insane amount of time...

Tried to figure out how to run the lines using some welding wire:

Then i started bending one of the more complicated lines:

And of course i messed it up, but at least i could save part of it for another :

 

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Started with the second line to the front hydraulics:

Got the fitting mounted:

Installed:

Then i made the first line to the left auxillary circuit:

Man I love watching this thing come together!
