Re: Dragline Crawler Build

Tom,

My original plan was to motorized the truck and swap the crane from one to the other. I had to cut the big hole for the crawler slew but I can mod the truck bed to make that work. I...

Re: Dragline Crawler Build

Lou,

Thanks for the tips. My parts might be here Monday so I can see how stuff fits. If I'm lucky I might be able to use what I ordered.:p

Got a bit more done today. Actually took some video...

Re: Dragline Crawler Build

Thanks for the nice comments guys!

I started mounting the swing gear on top of the frame. With any luck I will have the crane in place and digging dirt by the end of the weekend.

I need to...

Re: Dragline Crawler Build

Got the top plate split so I could mount both motors. Ended up making new smaller drive pulleys just cause they would fit better and the speed reduction will be good. Still haven't made a decision...

Re: First Conversion: Bruder Delta Loader

Kyle,

In your last video the bucket and boom works really fast. Is it possible to slow that down on your transmitter programming or is it just the way the geometry of the servos and attachments...

Re: Dragline Crawler Build

Tom,

If I don't know for sure on the O rings. My master plan is simple pulleys and O rings just until I get the pads working the way they should/need to. Then convert from O rings to that small...

Re: Dragline Crawler Build

Tom,

I made a round 1/4" plate to raise the swing gear just to get it up off the deck so the pinion had a bit of clearance. So, I think I can flatten the top of the motor clamp a bit and then I...

Re: Dragline Crawler Build

Steve, that sounds interesting, probably beyond my machining abilities, but interesting! I will have to find some pictures and drawings of that, I'm not sure I know exactly how it looks?

Re: Dragline Crawler Build

Motor mount. About one time in ten or twenty I feel like I machine something and it turns out like I planned. I had some 1-1/2" 1/4" wall aluminum tubing, cut off a chunk, had to square it up cause...

Re: Dragline Crawler Build

Ya, the button head was a bit larger than the 1/8" pad and I didn't think it looked as good as the cap screw. I might put a bunch of them on and look again, but I think I ordered them a bit too long...

Re: atlus like excavtor

Cos,

Is the Undercarriage and track pads all bruder stuff? It looks good under what you have so far. Keep the pics coming.

Re: Progress Thread - 8750 Marion Dragline

This sounds like a good approach to the project. I think you indicated something between toy and scale model? I like to try and keep stuff simple when I can and if it doesn't over complicate things...

Re: Dragline Crawler Build

I had to stop and pose the crawler for a motivation photo, it seems like there is a never ending list of parts to be made, re-made, and fine tuned, and I still feel like I don't get too far for all...

Re: Dragline Crawler Build

Reg, yea I hadn't even thought about a hex (probably just cause I don't have anything that small). That would probably look good there to boot! ;)

Re: Dragline Crawler Build

Re: Dragline Crawler Build

Going to redo the tension system. I wanted to use 4-40 but the wheel collars happened to be 6-32 which I think looks too big.

Just putting on the tensioner even without the proper setup helps...
