Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
Thanx Calum :) Maybe next month have a vid of the lil screener, vibra screening large lumps & rocks right now.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ps5vwgpdyr.jpg If you noticed in the last video @9.10, the painted cab ADT struggled to get out of the hole? Reason being, all the weight on the middle axle and much less weight on front & rear axles allowing them to spin easily, stealing all the power leaving the middle axle with no power. This B50 has a 2x25 Sabertooth in it b/c it was pulling a pup & I wanted separate power between the two axle groups for turning... now I've wired the middle axle to the 2nd motor driver and the front & rear axles on the 1st motor driver. The DIP switch on Sabertooth left in Independant Drive, radio mixed the two Sabertooth channels... problem solved! It'll likely walk up the long dirt ramp out of the basement better than it ever did before too. ;) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psgxdfdezp.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psybaxcfgc.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psmo4ak6t5.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psgtkrftaw.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ps99yzchqf.jpg |
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
I put new teeth on my digging bucket June 2015, I was noticing the other day how much they've worn... same narrow teeth as the 450 bucket... about 4mm shorter now.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psxq0bopbg.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psxhoi0twx.jpg Sharpened them up with the side grinder this morning http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psvybbupgk.jpg Getting the south side soaked up to chimney this week. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psjqqhphzv.jpg North side has been drying the last 10 days, now I can drive on the surface & not gum up my tracks with muddy clay. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...pskpju5nvj.jpg Ripped a straight edge. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psal83vj7h.jpg Start the next cut trying to keep a level bench. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psw7up6wbf.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psru0hcag6.jpg Getting some screening done. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psxel62ayy.jpg Do some crushing next month, if the lumps are dry enough that it doesn't clog up my crusher plates. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ps2ef6qnt4.jpg Did some hauling a few days ago, my mod with re-powering the B50 axles didn't work as well as I had hoped, get a lot of weight on the center axle & it still doesn't have enough umf!! to get over the hump. A thought just come to me now... center axle is Slave on the mix, so maybe if I jack it to 120% so center axle pushes harder :thinking:... and I need to re-glue my tires to rims with that black tar crap again :(, I can see them slipping... yucky stuff to mess with. |
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
Bummer to hear the re-power option wasn't as effective as you'd hoped it'd be.

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
Been playing with the settings again today & still not getting the even pulling power from the brushed motors anything like the brushless... keep tinkering.
Finished up the north cut yesterday http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psfhfj0qjl.jpg This'll be the last pass in the NE to do, next month maybe http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...pshhxfi109.jpg Today I worked at cleaning up this big mess under the stairs http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ps5ywzuutz.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psgvsaykys.jpg These rocks to go to the crusher http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...pswolvfsfn.jpg These rocks go to the pile in the lean-to, to be hauled away in my Ranger this summer. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...pshjniymvs.jpg Used the lowboy too to cart out these cement blocks & wood http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psbnj2ku6t.jpg Load too heavy for 8wd, had to give it a push by hand some of the way http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psgjldpme4.jpg This load of rock was too heavy for the brushed motors, had to give it a helping hand up the dirt ramp too, but the trk backed up the steep crusher ramp on its own... making me wonder if I reverse the motor leads on the Sabertooth, reverse direction in radio programming, maybe I'll have more power going forward then :thinking: ...the Sabertooth is at the back of the cab below the steering cyls, I'd have to pull all the guts out of the trk to get to it. :( http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psqcvnlqsp.jpg Brushed trk got demoted to garbage hauler http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...pswhtho3iq.jpg Brushless trk hauled the next 6 loads of rock out to the crusher http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psoc2x6e3o.jpg 7 trk loads http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...pskfuybgiv.jpg Used the 450 bucket to hand bomb a sample into the mini crusher... an rc activity for the JD450 next week. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psb3qohodi.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psgphbzo0z.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psazufmfwv.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psimruqg7w.jpg Gonna try & break these cement blocks with the Premacon jackhammer using the newer JD850, it has a 4th valve in it, just need to make a quick coupler plate to mount it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psnu0phv4a.jpg The 1st load of rock, I started to dump half the load into crusher & jammed it about 10 seconds, had to dig all the rocks out to get crusher moving again... dropped the rocks in by hand a few at a time after that. Made a couple vids while I was at it. https://youtu.be/OlP8omrQM-0 This quick vid, one really hard rock that I was playing catch with... and the last rock jammed & I stopped the vid. After I got the rock out, I dropped in again & it broke right away... https://youtu.be/ZEEavvckpcw |

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
nice pictures joe, temps too cold for me to be doing any material moving, funny you are farther north and have an abundant of work and able to enjoy it!! well more jealous really :) I wouldn't say you are having problems, just pushing the equipment for more production! keep digging!!!!! you have a good set up and processing flow, something to reference in the quarry site engineering books ;) ive been looking at a lot of equipment pictures (mostly large quarry stuff) amazing how much planning goes into quarry design, road grades, road base material, distance to transport, ect,, your roads and grade angles even apply to our scale stuff, pretty cool in my opinion. id say you are getting the most in aspect to haulage,,, definitely when you load up the trucks ! don't dig too fast or before too long ill see you digging out for an underground hockey arena!! lol!

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
No Bo, I haven't done any test prints yet... I need to paint a test piece to put a sticker on it, maybe later in the week.
You know what's funny Cooper... ppl say to me that since I sold my cows a few yrs ago, why don't I go south for the winter, somewhere warm... I tell them I built a new shop a few yrs ago, that's my winter vacation area... they tilt their head & look at me oddly... they don't get it :lol: ...yes, running out of work is soon going to be a problem, next phase in the planning steps... grain prices need to double from where they're at today to make it happen though... I hope to set it in motion in 2020... then I should be good for 5+ yrs before I need to dream up something else. ;) :D |
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
I spent the weekend carving out the 2nd pass on SE corner
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...pskwb9zefr.jpg Some problems with the 850 that have been increasing over the last couple weeks... too much freeplay in the swing, erratic power in the tracks & a hydraulic leak... stripped it to a lot pieces yesterday & made a shopping list sent to Frank this morning.

I hope it comes sooner this yr. |
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
Joe, your equipment looks just like the real stuff - a leak here and there with oil saturated dirt, worn parts from extreme use, and parts ordered from the manufacturer. Still amazed at the quantity of work you complete. I agree with Cooper, your crushing & screening operation would be the envy of any real company.
Keep on diggin'! Ken |
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
after all these years you are finally going to put gravel down on the haul roads?? LOL
|
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
Thank you Ken, I don't know what to say other than happy accident :D
I was thinking of using the gravel to cover the damp areas that I soak for digging, make for a dry surface to keep the tracks out of the muddy clay. ;) The last time I posted was the morning before I went to the city to take in a seminar from a prairie marketing analyst; about 200 ppl attending & no doubt a few sickies in the group too, I just started feeling better this wkend. :eek: Getting some work done on the old JD850 last few days... pulled the boom off to get a better unobstructed view of the boom lines to look for a leak. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psywctae3s.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ps1y6bbbyj.jpg I capped the lines of the stick & bucket with Tamiya sized screws that fit snuggly to keep the oil from dripping everywhere... when I turned on the pump to pressure up boom cyls in both directions to see if a neoprene line had a pin hole, oil was coming out the other 4 lines past the screws :confused: ... that shouldn't do that :thinking: I pulled servos off & tried to hand center the valves, but the oil continued to flow out both sides of each valve... internal sealing issues ;) And the bucket valve (bottom valve in pic) has noticeably more oil atop it, I think that's where the leak is from. I'm gonna change all neoprene lines to new as well. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psdqisq1rj.jpg Fortunately I got a spare 3 valve on hand & it's a steel one too. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...pstycis323.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...pszzhujp9y.jpg I cut open one of the oil filters, some grit in it http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...pspo5qnna5.jpg It's so nice to now have a bigger mill to work on some of this stuff... my newer JD850 that I built the summer of '16, I drilled the swing motor hole large enough so the pinion gear would pass through, for the reason if I had any trouble with swing motor/gear I don't have separate the house from the u/c to get it apart... the mini mill I had before with a much smaller vise, the work piece popped out & I broke a very expensive drill bit :( ...simple job to do this time around :) I also slotted the 3mm holes a bit further to get tighter adjustment of pinion to crown gear ;) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ps1rtwdeoa.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psm2hq5ugc.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ps8i2qq3cz.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psos3lcnyk.jpg Got a new boom a couple yrs ago.. the old boom, upon close inspection, the steel shows very little signs of wear, but rather it's the GFR that is completely broken away from both sides is why the hole is so much bigger. When the kit was new in 2010, the left side of pivot, the GFR was broke out showing the plate steel. I tried to make it as good as new with JB Weld... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psldshkyzw.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psq49pe1dl.jpg Cleaning/repainting all the cylinders http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...pszkmflln4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psgkkyd61g.jpg And a quick sand/wash/paint on these two items http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psy70vofm9.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...pshtyhnmij.jpg I hope my goody box from Germany shows up before the wkend, it's been in transit since last Tuesday... could have the old JD850 running again Sunday. :) |
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
3 WEEKS!!! ...parts haven't arrived yet :mad: ...probably sitting at customs in Calgary :rolleyes:
...anyways, had this idea maybe my lil 450 could handle my home made screener, and it can, quite well too... I'll be getting a lot more use out of this lil 450 now. :) https://i.postimg.cc/859788Mr/006.jpg 2 loads of screened to 1 load of crushed https://i.postimg.cc/02gzcs9T/007.jpg Shot this vid with my IPhone & loaded directly to utube, a slicker way of doing things. :cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4wrfzLYhcI&lc |
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
Quick vid of my old WA500 pushing the back of the pile closer to the 450 hoe - screener.
https://youtu.be/N5Ie50gmtdw I did a tour vid through my shop just now, it's uploading, just about 2 gigs, probably won't finish till midnight :D post it tomorrow ;) |
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
9 or 10 video takes... 1st vid was like 40 minutes - 5gig whoaaa can't post a file that big! ...even with the last one, still made errors in what I said for different room dimensions, but got it down to 18 minutes... public speaking, not my friend.
Now using my IPhone 5s in the last couple videos vs 6yo GoPro, a better resolution & file size nearly cut in half. https://youtu.be/w50byIqCBgg |

I really enjoyed the tour video always cool to see all your models. look forward to seeing that scraper move some earth some day. is there any other piece of equipment you want or have your eye on adding to your fleet?

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
Thanx Evan. I've got a few ideas for additional trls for the B4206 to pull, might get a Carson track loader this summer or wait till next summer... haven't looked at the Euro exchange in awhile. I can't think of any thing else that strikes my fancy at the moment.
Talking with my "contractor" yesterday, who's also a farmer too, about my new house, instead of doing an RTM - a stick build is looking more economical, might start on the footings this summer & do the exterior after harvest... he's wanting to keep his guys busy when the farming is caught up... I'm thinking about putting the new house 2 feet directly in front of my old house, gives me somewhere to live while it's going up, when the new house is done, demo the old house, keep the floor to have a huge deck out back & cover the old basement. And of course that gives me a brand new basement to dig out, 50 x 32 x 7, have a short tunnel from old basement into new ... that should keep my fleet occupied for a while & present new challenges to do it entirely RC :D Finally got my box of goodies from Germany today... from the tracking #, package sat in customs for 12 DAYS! Ridiculous. Going to Calgary tomorrow to visit my brother & maybe a short visit with RC Sparks on Monday morning on my return trip home. I wanted to show him my old JD850, but it's in too many pieces to get it back together that quick... it's been a long cold day already working on farm equipment. |
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
awsome a new house is always exciting especially when it sets you up for even more rcing. the prices around here have dropped alot to try and keep there workers busy also. that's awsome your meeting with Aaron his gold mining episode are by far my favorite thing on YouTube. tell him I want to buy his 1/5scale loader I'm sick of shoveling my long *** drive way.
|
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
HAH! if memory serves correctly, that 5th scale loader was like $12k :eek: ...and I've seen it posted recently that the creator of it is doing another production run this yr... I can find out who it is that's selling them?
Ran out of gas for the day... (ok, I went to settings, then albums, then saved 1024x768... now pics are linked proper size to the forum again, thanx for the tip of where to look frizzen) https://oimg.photobucket.com/albums/...psgrcxxo9i.jpg https://oimg.photobucket.com/albums/...psuiimljgt.jpg https://oimg.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1yhvoupt.jpg https://oimg.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3evt9wa3.jpg https://oimg.photobucket.com/albums/...psikops8le.jpg https://oimg.photobucket.com/albums/...psnn7ppxdm.jpg https://oimg.photobucket.com/albums/...psdltytjxv.jpg |
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
12gs that's spicey. I know the last I seen it on his videos was it was in peices and not operating correctly. I wonder if he's new run will have updates to fix that

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
Enjoyed the video of the shop tour Joe, lots going on and its looking great.
Have you started the fumo dozzer yet? Never knew you'd bought one? |
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
Ok stupid question: Why does it say BANNED by your name? Is that just a joke or what?
|
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
Evan, having visited Aaron today I didn't even spot the 5th scale loader in his shop, so much to see & talk about, 3 hrs went by in a flash... when we realized the time I had about 15 minutes to pull my stuff out that I brought along to show him... really a great visit, Aaron's the same upbeat happy go lucky personable fella off camera as he appears on camera, great visit.
I was surfing his instagram account Sunday night and came across photos of the loader taken apart & Aaron commented on one of the photos that the price was $5000cdn... my memory served me incorrectly :D Aaron also gave me the opportunity to run his life size rc skidsteer, very smooth controls, easy to operate, sweet machine :cool: Thanx Calum, I got the dozer late July last year, it's about half done... this winter I seemed to be sick a lot, didn't get much of any building done, perhaps I find some time after seeding to get it together, run it a bit, then tear it down for paint... got lots of painting to do this summer on several models. I just being funny Brian :D :p I loaded up my gear Friday morning https://oimg.photobucket.com/albums/...pspsl9qxjw.jpg https://oimg.photobucket.com/albums/...psqhsshvp0.jpg https://oimg.photobucket.com/albums/...psc5swjf3a.jpg https://oimg.photobucket.com/albums/...psbal4kins.jpg Aaron pulled the JD850 out of my cab like it was a 20lbs model to have a look at it & then put it back in effortlessly :eek: if I did what he'd done I'd have been laid out on his lawn the rest of day, probably overnight too!!! :o We put our ADT's side by side, weight of each is about the same, his box is about 1/2 inch longer, my box noticeably wider, both travel about the same speed... https://oimg.photobucket.com/albums/...psk7g1lzua.jpg https://oimg.photobucket.com/albums/...pskp7rz6wx.jpg |
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
I wish you guys would have compared your 850 to Aaron's 4200, I would have liked to see the difference. The 1/5 loader is still there, it's just covered up and still broken. The axles in it were really poorly designed and tear out a set of gears as soon as you try to turn. He's had hardened gears made and it didn't help at all unfortunately.
|
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
Glad you got the pic size straightened out
I love the truck loading the big truck with machines. Was there video? Do we need the forum to do a firemission to monitize your channel before something with aaron goes live? |
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
I knew I took these pics Rookie... though I couldn't remember exactly when & where I posted them, found them on another forum. I got one of the early 4200's when they 1st came out in 2011 & it was a bucket of shyt right out of the box, hydraulic leaks & failed electronics, RC4WD screwed me over on warranty & I eventually gave it away to another member who wanted to rebuild it.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...1/IMG_0554.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...1/IMG_0555.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...1/IMG_0556.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...1/IMG_0557.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...1/IMG_0558.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...1/IMG_0559.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...1/IMG_0561.jpg Thanx for the info Rookie on the 5th scale loader, totally know what you're saying about solid axles, especially in such a big - heavy model; either a differential or motor at each wheel would be the cure for different wheel speeds in articulated steering. Something I just discovered frizzen with the recent pics loaded, seems I need to go to my settings "again" to preset out going pic size links before uploading or the pics will appear too large... I've been chatting with some one at photobucket, they say they're working on the issue. I didn't video it frizzen, it didn't occur to me as anything eventful, the trks aren't that heavy & easy to put in the cab, but the problem with the track hoe is it's length puts too much forward weight for my lower back to handle, it walked up the quad ramps easily. utube monetization... what a joke! utube kicked me out of their partnership program last yr b/c I didn't meet one of their "NEW" requirements, 4000 watch hrs per year... I got mentioned on a live stream.com this January & 20,000 watch hrs in a couple weeks... now 2 months later my adsense account still hasn't been approved... I did finally get my bank account "verified" last yr & Google did their test deposit of $0.58usd, but I haven't seen another dime... there was $1100usd in my adsense account... Google has made changes again & I don't know the path to find out whether the money is still there or not, and I've never found a phone # to call to talk a live person about it... whatever :rolleyes: ...I'll never be in the same utube popularity category as RcSparks anyway :) |
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
looks like you had lots of fun Joe. that truck of Aaron's looks good and has me really wanting one. my adt build hit a wall just cant find the time to work on it anymore. the loader is cool I think axles from a snowblower with it programmed to unlock one axle when you want it to turn.
|
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
Yeah the 4200 certainly isn't the best out there but after changing the electronics in mine it runs "okay". Still leaks all over the place though but that helps with the scale look. lol. That 850 looks like a monster!
I'd have to say my 4200 is quite a bit better than the Faroe track loaders we picked up though. They are terrible quality, but at the $1600 they were on sale for we took a chance. |
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
Yep! The Chinese get away with putting out crap & making a mint $$$ while they're at it b/c they can do it so cheaply, primarily exploiting their people paying them pennies per hr... that's why shipping is nearly half the cost of the model. :rolleyes:

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
Hauled this dry lumpy dirt to the vibra screener on Saturday
https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...psn2cmakbs.jpg I also got a load of pea gravel gravel from the pile outside, rigged up brushless motor adt to pull the pup without driven axles... pretty spooky going down with that much weight, brushless motors not great for braking! In this pic I was turned around to see how would do climbing up with so much weight - all 6 wheels pulled strong, adt spun out about midway where there is a hump in the road... but it still did way better than the brushed adt ;) https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...psaqyfgueu.jpg I dumped the pea gravel near the east wall to cover the wet dirt I soaked up a month earlier, worked awesome to keep the tracks clean. :) https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...psgdx75psa.jpg https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...pszffgaawx.jpg https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...pssdqmlug7.jpg Got BOMBED with snow on Sunday... forecast was suggesting 2-4cm... actual was 2 foot drifts in the fields, 4 foot snowbanks in the yard.

Even today (4 days after snow storm), a lot of snow to melt yet... maybe start seeding by the 10th... so much for a laid back easy go this yr with having help too... this hobby does wonders to help keep my sanity ;), Been digging the floor the last couple days.

The ol 850 looks awesome Joe! I think the video quality looks a lil better. That's pretty cool rc sparks lent that.

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
Too bad they don’t make that beast anymore. Looking foreward to more r/c action.
The GoPro is doing a good job in the dim light. |
Re: LilGiantsConstrCo
Are you sure? You know some one that tried to get one?
Yeah it does do better in low light than the old GoPro, and I noticed that about IPhone too, but the the IPhone produced just as good of quality as new GoPro at less than half the file size... |
