Re: LilGiantsConstrCo

Carp, I have two 4206's, one has 3 valve hyds, the other has none.

Tom, stick time since 2002, indeed all good fun. :cool:

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo

I saw a bucket, i was just suprised to see an actual seat down there.

Wow, i didn't realize that's been going on since '02

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo

My seat is "up there", that's the back of my shop. ;)

I got my 1st my hydraulic construction model, Liebherr 922 excavator, from Stahl/Leimbach summer of 2001, finished building it Feb 2002. Basement enlargement project started winter of 04 - 05.

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo

Another B50! :eek: Love the new pup setup, going to be a badass dumper :cool:

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo

Looks real good Joe nice welds. Ed

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo

looks awsome Joe. your fleet of trucks will beable to move alot of material.

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo

Thanks for posting the pics of the new truck. I’m sure this one will live a life of good use ��. And nice work on the hitch!!

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo

Wow you built those 1.5 B50's fast!! Does it come painted? Looking forward to this beast hauling dirt.

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo

just currious if you put all the dumper trucks in a line how many feet long would it be lol :D

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo

Fast?! What are you being funny? :thinking: :D :p I'm not fast, I got these 3rd week of July, spent a week degreasing all metal parts & painting so paint could cure fully while I do my harvest... threw my back out the next week & couldn't do much anything for 8days, leaned on my neighbor to load out 5B's for me & do some desicating on peas, got through harvest ok by myself, but my lower back issues have bugged me all winter, couple hrs in the shop a day hunched over working on projects is all I can handle... turning 50 this yr, feel like 80 most days. :(

Anyways, just about done with this adt & pup :)

I made a valve divider block from brass for the pup

This dump cyl was on the trk, right side... the flexible hose going to the "T" I think I made it a bit too short, box going up/down - changing angles tugging a bit on this fitting broke it loose from the tube. Pipe goes up to top of tube & broke loose from that soldered joint... buffed the paint off, resolder, repaint, put it on pup after dinner today.

Got the box on the pup, put oil to the cyls

https://s13.postimg.cc/shxydvhzr/010.jpg

This is where the connection is for the pup hyds

https://s13.postimg.cc/njafzc6h3/013.jpg

Got a leak, hoping I just over tightened the fitting & crushed the seal too much... put on a new fitting with some thread seal... give a couple hrs to set & try it again.

Made up some exhaust pipes from 5/16 Plastruct tube for this adt & the others

https://s13.postimg.cc/z8efncuvr/014.jpg

This air cleaner is 3D printed, used an 8mm magnet to hold it place for pictures & filming, leave it off during regular use so it don't get so dirty.

And I'm motivated to get busy putting this WA500 wheel loader together next, it's only 4yrs next month that I've had it :eek: :D :p ...been using it for spare parts on occasion for other models that needed repairs, still missing a couple parts that'll hopefully show up next month.

https://s13.postimg.cc/dyqtcimav/017.jpg

Degrease the cyls today & paint them yellow

https://s13.postimg.cc/6irjqq6bb/018.jpg

The drive belt on my lathe is toast :( ...having a hard time trying to find one locally.

https://s13.postimg.cc/yivnavzg7/008.jpg

I was looking on https://www.mcmaster.com/#drive-belts/=1booul2 (I see the link won't go directly to page I was looking at; it's the T5 series timing belt) My operators manual gave the dimensions 124 x 1.5 x 15 which is metric for teeth - depth - width When I measure the length I get 584mm & pitch is 5mm

Gonna be one of these 3 belts :thinking: ... would the difference in lengths compared to # of teeth be b/c of belt thickness? :confused:

T5-575-16 575 115 5 Urethane Gray -13° to 176° 1679K518 9.10
T5-610-16 610 122 5 Urethane Gray -13° to 176° 1679K545 9.51
T5-630-16 630 126 5 Urethane Gray -13° to 176° 1679K522 9.51

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo

Got er done... well except for the decals & a couple of other bitty parts that'll show up in a few months.

Trying to pull the steep grade with pup in tow, the rims on the tandem axle were slipping bad in the tires, I had to pull hard by hand to get the truck up the hill... I really hate gluing tires... not sure what this gasket maker goo will do, smeared it on today, see what it's like tomorrow. :thinking:

Broomed off the ramp, nearly 5 gallon of clay powder/dust, very slippery. Road is wearing down bad!

https://s13.postimg.cc/z5kyd7fqf/026.jpg

https://s13.postimg.cc/3ymb9c24n/027.jpg

Soaked the roadway with water, sprinkle on the fines, soaked it some more, rebuild the surface to make it smooth. Lay down some asphalt to protect the surface. ;)

https://s13.postimg.cc/8kifhp33b/028.jpg

The fines pile grew a lot in the last week!

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo

Now that is a lot of goodness, and hard work done. Really enjoy watching the progress a lot, and with new machines on the plant new challenges shows up. Heavy traffic can put some roads on a test for sure. hope you can adjust for a smooth haul road and get it where it needs to go. I could not resist to mess with one of your pictures.........a drone pix of your site....looks like so 1/1
Hope you don't mind i did this.......[IMG]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4708/...be2693c3_b.jpg Gianr by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]
Looking forward to vids....crunch crunch.

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo

Really nice work on the new truck Joe. I was curious how the dumping would work with the pup but now I see.

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo

Thanks for the photo's Joe

You are getting some building done this winter... I would guess you powered up the trailer as well ?

greg

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo

Did you just zoom the pic Bo? It does look moreso 1:1 :cool:

Thanx Tom. The dump area is almost too small for this combo.

I do have a 2x25 Sabertooth in the trk & a power wire coming from the cab Greg to put power to the axles on the pup, don't really want to b/c cornering makes it act weird... I have some hubs with one-way roller clutches that I made up for the 8wd 4206 cross dump, but took them off b/c I discovered I sometimes needed 8wd in both directions with that rig. I can't make that alteration till I get my lathe working again... ordered belts from McMaster yesterday... the slow bus through customs. :rolleyes:

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo

Hey Joe.
I turned the pic. counterclockwise a bit to most of the revealing wall was gone, and cut out the footprints from the Giant..........lol Would love a similar pic. with your New awesome haul truck in there also......keep snapping picture plz.

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo

Came out great Joe looks awesome :cool: A serious dumper right there.

Re: LilGiantsConstrCo

Thanx Brandon, I like it too... get this rim slippage problem solved, then hammer down!

A vid showing the 963 leveling the fines pile, had to reload the vid b/c the original kept pausing for reasons I do not know :thinking:
