Re: 1/16 Bucyrus Erie 25B

Jared,

Couple of questions for you.

Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck

Shawn,

I hope you also plan on a drag bucket? I have both for my NyLint conversion. The drag bucket is SO effective compared to the clam when trying to dig dirt or sand or any other loose...

Re: #35 Roller Chain With K1 Attachment

Reg,

I went thru motion industries. They have a office nearby that makes it easy, but not cheap.

I will probably keep enough to make a dozer and a crawler for my dragline and sell the rest at...

Re: LilGiantsConstrCO

Grousser differences?

Good picture of the hoe makes me ask - what are the design intentions between a triple pad vs. Single or double? I'm sure it must have something to do with traction and...

Re: 1/16 Oliver Dozer Conversion

Re: 4 Hour Bruder Dozer

Well, I ordered 4 sticks of it so I could get free shipping to me instead of the local store. Supposed to arrive in 10 days or so. I'll let you know how it goes.

Re: 4 Hour Bruder Dozer

Cool, I'll order some! Just to save some wear on my calculator, how many sticks do I need for a typical set of tracks? Is one 96" piece enough?

Re: 4 Hour Bruder Dozer

I don't know for sure if this would actually make it to my store in Iowa until I try ordering some BUT, is it TOO big? It says 15/16" not 7/8". Is that going to make it not work out properly?

Re: 4 Hour Bruder Dozer

Reg,

Do you have a part number or measurement on the edging material for the track pads so I can make sure I get the right stuff?

And, I don't think I understand the slot in each pad? It sort...

Re: Dragline Rebuild

That is a bunch of gears, huh? I'm sure you have already considered a low rpm gear motor? Going to be cool getting all those gears turning!
