1:35th Wilford power shovel B

[Bernhard]

A few more parts will complete the crawler tracks.

[Bernhard]

Now 32 idlers need to be turned ...

... and drilled.

[Bernhard]

The drive rollers are 3D printed parts.

[Bernhard]

The tension rollers are also turned.

[Bernhard]

And these are the bearings for the drive and tension rollers.

[Bernhard]

The track links are also 3D printed parts.

[Bernhard]

With this, the first crawler track can be dry fitted.

[Bernhard]

Now a few more small parts have to be manufactured:
The brake pads for the band brakes.

[Bernhard]

The lever for operating the band brake is so small that I put it under the microscope to photograph it.

[Bernhard]

2 levers for operating the differential lock in the rear axle of the Fordson tractor.

[Bernhard]

All parts put together for a test.

[Bernhard]

The drive chains are etched parts, glued together from 4 layers each 0.3 mm thick.

This subassembly is now complete. The parts will be assembled after painting.
