Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
Hi steve-I am always impressed by you and 9w making parts from steel. I can't do that!!! I just ruin tooling. I guess that is the difference in a machinist and a backyard-hacker. Guess I will stick...

Re: Dragline Rebuild
I have some work done on the swing assembly. I got the holes drilled and reamed so that is the critical part. I still have a little milling to do on the plates and another set-up on the...

Re: Ny-Lint Mobile Dragline Conversion
Looking good jim-how long will the boom be when done? Your pulleys look spot on too. Did you lay-out the holes free hand? Also, good idea to make the bracing in sections. I did it one pc. at a time...

Hi Jared-anything going on with this model? I see it 's been a few years since you posted. I enjoy these older machine models. How about some updated pictures.

Re: Ny-Lint Mobile Dragline Conversion
Jim-I certainly am not a machinist but I will offer this. If you are damaging your parts with the chuck you may be over tightening the chuck. You will learn as you go but on small parts using less...

Re: Dragline Rebuild
Jim-the pitch is good. The sides of the teeth on the main gear are not cut on the correct angle. I had no way to do that. I think that is causing the jerky motion since the pinion is not engaging...

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
I can see the 2nd. one. How did you get that cat to stay on the trailer? The cat I had would have jumped 3' high as soon as the truck moved. :eek:
Can also see the 3rd. one. That's funny.

Re: Dragline Rebuild
Jim-the material is .025" thick sheet metal (a.c. and heating duct material) and I bent it into 1/4"x1/4" angles for the main boom rails and 3/16"x3/16" for some of the bracing.

I think that dragline has been restored and moved. I drove down there twice to watch it cross the road. Missed it the 1st. time but got to see the crossing the 2nd. time but the weather was lousy....
