Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck

I agree, and I have plans to make a 1960's dump truck to go with the crane after it done ;)



Yes. I'm going for something like this, but with the stripes.

Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck

A small bit of progress on the crane. I made this service hatch, I don't know what it's supposed access on the real machine but it should come in handy to access the winch motors or a battery.

Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck

I took this drawing and used the measurements at the top and did some quick scaling to get the dimension for the swing ring. It should be accurate if the drawing is to scale, all you have to do is...

Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck

Yes the plan is to use broaching to cut the swing gear. I only have a lathe so I'm going to use a profile tool in a boring bar holder and just slowly scrape away until I get to the right tooth depth...

Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck

The plan is to get the swing mechanism as close to the real machine as I can. So I'm going to machine a custom swing ring and cut internal gear teeth in to it just like the deal.

Re: Leds using a old servo board question

Micro servos can draw up to 400 ~ 450mA and standard servos can draw up to 2.5 ~ 3A when stalled. Most LEDs draw 20mA, so doing some math 400mA / 20 = 20 we can determine that a micro servo control...

Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck

Thank you, that's pretty much what I had in mind.

I just looked in to what it would cost to make the base out of brass, and it would be a little out of my price range :o
But I have access to a...

Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck

That boom is really impressive. The laser cut steel is a great idea.
I will probably still be using brass for the boom, do to the fact that I have no welder.

I can't wait to see the rest your...

Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck
