Must have done something right, a few spots in that vid I could of swore it was the real thing.

Joe, Your outfit looks so real I had to study it to make sure it was a model. You know it would be kinda interesting to have a thread on the best videos of the various builds to be voted on by the participants of the forum. Maybe each member if interested could enter their best video over a period of time and then have all members if interested vote for the best overall. Could be the best of the year or some other time period. Just an idea. Fred

Thanks a bunch guys. Greg, the bar was set long before I ever got into this hobby, just trying too keep up.

Fred, I like your idea, we need more inspiration on here and that might just do it. One of you mods bring that up next board meeting, please.

WOW That looks excellent! The lighting really does it justice too. By the way; Are those leaves from some giant prehistoric tree of some sort:D:D:D

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

Thank you guys.

It will cut about a 1/2'' at a time but that is because the cylinder bottoms out. However after today it may get new cylinders that will dig a little deeper.

Been going to try and build some cylinders for about 2 years now, well today I successfully made one and put it on the scraper. The crowd cylinder that I bought was a 6'' stoke and I needed 7'' so I hooked it up and it works really well. I was wanting the crowd to move faster as well so I put a big ram in it and it doubled the speed of the crowd. I'll get better pics up of it all tore down, it is totally rebuildable through the gland end.

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

thats cool i was going to do the same thing on the tilt cylinder for the D7 and 82-30

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

WOW Joe it doesn't look like you are going to need the push bar on the back of the pan the 9 does a good job of filling it on it's own.:cool:

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

Well joe-you gonna show us how you made the cylinder or is that "top secret".:D

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

yea we need a step by step and where to find the parts lol i was going to bore mine out and have them nichol plated and the stem chromed and just use O rings in it

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

Don't tell anyone Tom.lol

Here is the cylinder all torn down. The bore is 1/2'' and stroke is 7'', with a 5/16'' ram. The material is all from McMaster-carr.

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

Great looking work

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

Yes, Very nice machine work Joe. What size threads are on the packing flange?

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

why can't a guy use regular metal like cold / hot rolled steel for what we are doing? and hone them real fine inside?? would it work? i was thinking i would have the inside and stem nickel plated but it would be nice not to have to do all that when boring and honeing would work i mean how much hydralic preshure do they push ?? in psi i know 10 bar or so but i donno what that actually is lol and i know it has to be smooth right? any detailed help would be great:) that is one nice pan and cylinder you have built very cool
