Re: King Hauler Dump

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
I have been thinking about the same thing, adding springs to help with that first part of the lift. Nice to see someone else doing it.

Re: Mack and Pup
You have a lot packed in there. Looks nice, cool idea with the water tank. What kind of tires are on your drive axles?

Re: LR634 is HERE!!!!! Tracked loader
Joe, I went through your whole thread on the 4x4 forum last week and saw that when you changed the bucket on the S/A loader. It kinda also pushed me to try modifying mine too.
My brain!! I just...

The Orings kinda worked, in that I had to cut down the OD to fit into the grooves. On the lift pistons one of the sealing edges was torn out too. So the Quad or X rings...

Re: LR634 is HERE!!!!! Tracked loader

Re: LR634 is HERE!!!!! Tracked loader
I definitely will. I plan to have a video of it operating by 8pm Monday if the Orings arrive like they should. I brought in a bucket of dirt last week, so rain or shine I can test things out.

Cooper. Yeah I placed the spacer next to where it was originally on the piston rod, it limited the extension. The piece to the left of the spacer is the threaded hydraulic cylinder end.

Re: G,Day
Hello.
Are those flat deck trailers custom built, or are they two modified Tamiya flats?
Looking forward to watching your builds, especially since you used to drive the real things.
