Collab 2020: Modeling Heavy Equipment (Backhoe)

[Adrian Bellworthy]

That’s great I can start on that file and update it and post it back.

The inner part of the rim is a little bit of eyeballing since I only have photos of them but no construction drawings. The rear axle itself is based on isometric and orthographic plans but I don’t have any precise measurements. And the connection with the front axle will be another tricky task.

[Ingmar Franz]

This is the connection between front and rear axle on a Cat 434F:

I don’t know whether there’are differences between the E-version and the F-version of the Cat 434 in that part of  the backhoe.

I love it @adrian2301, with all the boo boo’s I’ve been experiencing that crash helmet is most certainly in order. @Phil and @spikey they fixed me up and got me headed in the right direction on discord earlier.  Woot! 

[Adrian Bellworthy]

The adjustment is done. LINK.

Hey @ketre And @hellosudeepsingh I’ve got an image for you guys

And for @spikeyxxx @dostovel , @ryzen7 and for me we get a image for the axle 

[spikeyxxx]

Thanks shanr! Can’t get enough images;)

[Karen Trevino]

Awesome @shanr  thank you so much

[Adrian Bellworthy]

Made a DOG TAG for the front of our Puppy, or we can hang it on the gate of the Pound.

[Karen Trevino]

Very cool @adrian2301 !

[Ingmar Franz]

Thank you @adrian2301 for the adjustment. Now it intesects with the battery boxes:

It’s maybe best that you keep your chassis as it was since we first have to ensure that both axles are properly connected via the parts in between. 

I have found some higher resolution drawings of the chassis:

I’ve also found some close-ups of the rear side:

[Adrian Bellworthy]

The chassis is actually closer to the right size, I have taken from reference the chassis is the same width at the front as the engine compartment. and now with the alignment with the rear axle. The Battery Boxes are actually to close together (x-axis) or to deep individually.

These images will help me with the shape of the connecting part to the stabilizers, much clearer images than I had before.

[Adrian Bellworthy]

Actually second look tells me there not from 434e. first image is completely different at the rear where the swing frame is, as in your first image, our swing frame attaches to the stabilizer rails. not directly to the chassis. As in image 4.

Second image on the upright part where the loader arms attach has 3 holes on or dog.

[Ingmar Franz]

@adrian2301 It’s a Cat 434, but from 2006. That could explain the differences

[Karen Trevino]

Ok here is what I have so far, Trying this out was pretty frustrating at first but it looks better than I’ve done so far.
