Re: Boom/crane truck
 

Thanks Guys!
Chris,I hope they hold,There 10mm pistons.Hopefully won't have to run real high pressure.

Re: Boom/crane truck

Re: Boom/crane truck

Re: Boom/crane truck
 

nice work, all you trucks look great

Re: Boom/crane truck
 

Freddy - best to drop some of the quick connects. On my IH I took a pc board to make a multi channel y adapter - didn't have room for those pesky long y adapter harnesses

Gonna fit an MFU?

Re: Boom/crane truck
 

Thanks Guys!
Brel,the plate is from PMD,They'll be on the venders forum very soon.
Larry,you aint gunna see what's under the sand paper,unless you come here & I show you.:p:D
Chris, Thanks for the advise.
Managed to get a little done,the out riggers work via the motor. Still need to make some changes.But,for just putting together,I'm not going to complain.At least it's only small changes I need to make.
Here's a quick vid of the movement of the out riggers.Not using the radio,just touching the wires together.

Now the next vid is done via the radio. Don't have the rest of the hydraulic parts yet,so can't raise the boom yet.But! The rest works!

Every thing needs grease,but not till after it is painted.
Man,git the hydraulics workin! & I'm not going to know how to act.:cool:
Thanks for takin a look!

Re: Boom/crane truck
 

easy as pie!

Re: Boom/crane truck
 

those outriggers on neat Freddy. @We just finished hooking hydraulic lines to ours toady on the 60 Ton. Gotta put the arms in and feet on tomorrow and hope to have most of the hydraulics running. Got about 40 gallons in it now. Prolly gonna take another 50 at least. Now I just have to remember to take my camera with me next time.

Re: Boom/crane truck
 

I have been using my Bees Wax with my scroll saw, and man does it make a difference. I wished I would have remembered this from the beginning. Thanks FGD, keep up the great work!!!

Re: Boom/crane truck
 

Thats an awesome boom truck Freddy! It seems to have no problem at all yanking that weight around. I'd be interested in seeing what it can do with the boom sucked in and raised all the way, once you get the hydrauilics installed, thats where you get your max chart.

Re: Boom/crane truck
 

Freddy -a little tweaking and it'l be smooth as silk
