Re: Bruder Cat Excavator Conversion
Tyler. Don't know if you thought about this, but you might try to fill the Bruder boom with expandable foam. Make sure you leave relief holes or it may overfill it. That stuff when it dries is fairly...

Re: Unit Cable Hoe
Hey Scott. I thought that maybe those wires were for track heaters, so you could work in the snow.

Re: Steamer
Thanks guys. Yes it's a little different for the transfer but it sure can lift a lot. Next time it'll be a full transfer setup.

Re: 140H Grader
Truly a museum masterpiece. But you've taken the next step and made it operate as well. What have you got on your plate to top this one.

Re: Unit Cable Hoe
Scott. The car body works very nice. When the upper is on there and you have cleats you should be able to go anywhere. I'm surprised at the power the servos have.

Re: Leimbach pump tip
Thanks Scott. Yes you can change the seals but it's quite a job too. The seals are in the motor side of the pump and are held in with what I would call a seal head. If you separate the motor and...

Re: TheMachinist
I'm amazed at the torque of these small servos. Nice idea you had with the arm and roller. I can see all kinds of uses for this application now.

Re: The Machinist
Way to go Jordy! Dirt track looks impressive. How heavy is the camera and do you think it would pick up some logs. We could do some Heli logging at the truck show.
