Team Andy : mooch

[R9000]

Oooh. I'd love to see something with hydraulics, especially in featherweight. It'll certainly be unique - I hope it works out for you!

[PJ-27]

Did you make it to the GSL?
Let me know if you want a hand with anything and I can swing by. Are you building it at work?

hi pj, yes building at work on my breaks.
i'm hoping the hydraulic pump arrives by tuesday as i've started machining up the parts for the 2 stage ram.
i may well take u up on that offer, will keep posting here as i build.
unfortunately i never made GSL as had some commitments this end

[PJ-27]

Let me know.

Presser is still alive (from Team PCP -Pulveriser ). Had some demos last weekend.
The first hydraulic feather build, way back before 2010.

little update on mooch.
improvised a jig to hold the pump still.
connected an 18v cordless drill to it and saw regular 900-1000 psi readings over 3 goes.
means i should have 12560 pounds force from my ram less say 15 % for mechanical losses = 10676lbs
good start i think
