Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Having seen your previous work, I know that when it's all did & done, it'll be well crafted, & look amazing.

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
me thinks RW is getting serious about diggin out the barn & getting an INDOOR play area!

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Thanks skeeter, and yes!! Have the perfect project for many years to come. Once I get the time I'm going to make an indoor screening plant. Large scale!! Well still scale to our equipment but want to move a lot of material. I have a lot of dirt that has been dumped for fill from rock raking /seeding yards. Perfect to haul into barn and then use the scale equipment to process. And best part I'll gain that wasted soil back. Might take a couple weeks to process a couple yards and then just a couple scoops with 1:1 equipment :). But it is an endless supply with a purpose. !!

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
That'll be great to see you fab that up Cooper... you build a Vario sized excavator & a couple cubes could be done in an afternoon. ;)

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
That payloader will move more material then any
Excavator could |
Re: Great Dane excavating co.
That axle is looking good RW, looking forward to more updates!

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Update,, still have some minor things to change but gettin the gist of it.
http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/...psgfhqn0fh.jpg http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/...pstpvqntay.jpg The drive shafts are long, they will be cut to size later http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7qk3aawo.jpg http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/...psk5h4td8h.jpg And I left enough material in relation to rims and hub to be removed if tires shrink more than anticipated from the mold process. That's kind of difficult to calculate precisely. (At least for my redneck engineering) |
Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Oh and bearings will be farther onshaft for a retainer to keep them. I just don't want to pres them in yet. And I'm going to eliminate the chamfer between the two axle parts , I don't want that gap. Like I said still working on some fits and tweaks :)

Beautiful!

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
:popcorn: That software for your mill opened so many doors for you.

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
About how much machining time do you have in 1 axle? Your machining is outstanding!!

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Been a while so some data dump,,,
The back axle trunnions, http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/...psjyo1pg56.jpg http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/...psyyljqkqr.jpg http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/...psowlqah4b.jpg http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/...psz0qs9tcp.jpg http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/...psysxfis6f.jpg Steve (Ihbuilder) gave me the good idea of pressing on a piece of stainless for the bushing. Now the bushing material will slid against steel instead of aluminum. Thanks Steve:). The back axle oscillates something like ?? 10 degrees. |
Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Front axle/frame mount
http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/...pslfzdqafa.jpg http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/...ps54futvhh.jpg http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/...pstycqwyxm.jpg http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7ieksv8o.jpg I still have to drill holes in axle. Wasn’t sure about how everything was going together at time. Still have a bit of the redneck engineering, build parts first then figure out how to fit them together :)!!! |
Re: Great Dane excavating co.
And now working on the frame that pivots along with mounts for turning rams
http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0ldvzazc.jpg http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/...pszkvdi75b.jpg Building them to accept a tab and slot construction that will align and be welded together . On the 1:1 no hardware is visually in frame as they are cast and welded pieces. So I didn’t want any screws visually and welding is needed. http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/...psujhbzvb7.jpg Still have to cut holes for the steering rams and bolt holes. These pieces required 6 different set-ups. Time consuming,,, as another said welcome to the machineing world :) |
Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Wow :D There are several leagues in this hobby, and you are playing with the very best. Looking forward to more pictures.

Do they require another step to get to finished thickness? |
Re: Great Dane excavating co.
This build is amazing.....and huge! Looking forward to seeing it in person one day. Think it will make Cabin Fever 2018?
