Hi! I just finished working on an alternative model of the 42114 set. I add large 107mm agricultural wheels to make the model look better but its possible to build it only with bricks from the set. Below are a few words about the model CAT 627K! Dimensions: Length 69cm, width 19cm, height 21cm Number of bricks: 1901 Photo of real machine for comparison: The idea to build a scraper was born almost a year ago. The project failed then, but I came back to it this year. I started the construction with a "boul" to make sure that the Volvo A60 - 42114 set has enough panels and liftarms. The next stage was the modification of the gearbox. I wanted the model to work with the official Control+ application profile. The scraper tractor has very little space for mechanics, so I split the gearbox in half and built a front axle into it. The real challenge was the bowl lifting mechanism. After a whole day of testing, I managed to build a linkage mechanism that imitates this function very well, even though it uses only one actuator. I used the second actuator to control the ejector. There is a second manually operated gearbox in the rear of the vehicle. In the first mode, the ejector moves while driving so you can empty the bowl automatically. In the second mode, the ejector is controlled manually. To change this, you just need to move the z16 sprocket. At the beginning, I was worried about whether I would have enough bricks to build all the details. So I was initially working on a scraper number 621K which does not have an engine at the back. However, it quickly turned out that I would be able to build all the details of the 627K model, such as the dummy engine or fuel tanks above the rear axle. I was very surprised that the available bricks managed to create a very nice looking cabin and front wheel mudguards.

Hello everyone, For the new contest on Eurobrick, i built a scraper like this one: Functions All functions are pneumatic: - Steering by 2 pneumatic cylinder V1 2x7 - Ascent and descent of the bucket by 2 pneumatic cylinder V1 2x7 - Ejector are actionned by 2 pneumatic cylinder V2 2x11 Compressed air are produced by a pneumatic pomp small V2 and a L motor. In front, there is an 6L fake engine pulled by front wheels. Pictures Here is the first picture: Now I have to build the front of the vehicle. The rest of review later
