Is your saddle trac a c-model or a completely custom build?  I'm just wondering as I bought a second 42054 to have double wide tires and was curious if I could build your model with the remaining pieces (heck I'd take the double tires off to have another tractor).

[efferman]

it is unfortunately not a pure c model. the partcount is comparable, but with many different parts.

I tried to gather a parts list by converting the LDD to Ldraw and opening in Brickstock, but I came up with some weird color combinations.  Magenta and Trans-Medium Blue parts that don't exist.  I'll have to try another time with your older file.

Are the red parts the revision off the original????

You can upload the LDD as a private MOC on Rebrickable, then program should give you a acurate partslist.

Hello everybody Efferman do you think you can make a movie explaining the motorized functions of the saddle trac or you can just tell me also would be nice plz. I'm asking because I'm putting or trying to put a ev3 in it and make it self driving to spray weeds on my parents pool deck but not spray in the pool.

Thanks!  This worked okay and I've begun to pull the parts from what I have on hand.  Started at 220 lots and now down to 118.

Glad I could help. Although I sometimes get the notion that parts are left out.

Hi Effe 

Second Bug (front connection)

  the fix ?result 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[efferman]

you think there is maybe a jump over problem?

[Siegfried Meyer]

Could be as the 9 long axle holding the cab was also miss aligned

[Siegfried Meyer]

 

@efferman Thanks again for sharing your creation  done with the model and impressed with your building style.  If you don't mind, I made some esthetic changes to the cab platform tell me what you think... & Happy New Year's wishes to all members , may this be the best year of mogging/modding 

Now some Eye candy (apologies pic's aren't the best)

 

 

Cheers

[efferman]

Great! How fine works the steering?

 

[Siegfried Meyer]

Works great just one turn more than I'm use to.  The steering mode selection takes some time to get the hang of but works really well

Adding Pic

The attachment is taking shape

Add pic don't want to double post

wow, really looking good guys...I have just a question, recently bought the Claas and loved to build it. However the turntable of the crane is still moving with the levers in neutral, do you experience this as well or did I just slip up with building this...?

 

[Siegfried Meyer]

It supposed to do that no error designed that way,  the same as the cab

[mzzl88]

thank you..

Do you know offhand, if the "Light Bluish Gray Liftarm 1x4 thin (32449)" pieces are really important to the build (color wise)?  They are a bit more expensive and harder to come by compared to Dark Bluish Gray.

[Siegfried Meyer]

I used 1x3  thin as I didnt  have enough too , I'm assuming that you are referring to the middle section at the bottom above the battery box. 

[efferman]

a special colour is not neccessary for function

[J_C]

I did not follow this thread: Is this a C-model? Or "out of the 42054 box" parts were used? Regardless the answer, it is great!

[efferman]

It is no c model, it uses only many parts from the set

I had a spare 42054 sorted into my bins and possibly a small amount of parts from other technic sets and need to spend about $80-90 in parts for the Saddletrac.  I hope that helps you to have an idea of how much of the 42054 is used (maybe 60% as a rough guess).

Thanks, I am in the picture now.
