Re: Tires for conversions

Blame it on an obviously miss-spent youth, hanging around with the "wrong" type of people.

I've been looking for tires in the 75-77mm OD range that I'll need for another Bruder conversion that's...

Re: Tires for conversions

Here's another option for tires for conversions - roll your own. If you've got a 3D printer it's simpler, cheaper, and faster than it sounds. I'm including 3 links to YouTube videos.

Re: 3D Filament color match to Bruder

OKEEY-DOKEE, the Matterhackers spool of red arrived today, it's Pantone 3546 C. It's a nice red, but it's not really a close match. It's too something, bright might be the best word. It's more of...

Re: 3D Filament color match to Bruder

Been a while since I updated this thread.

Matterhackers was a no on the samples. They did recently list a Pantone red that MIGHT be close, I pulled the trigger on a spool of that color. There's...

Re: 1:10ish Reach Stacker for "conex" cargo containers

I know what yopu mean about long-term projects, I started my Manitou build in November, 2019. I know what you mean about fuzzy memories. I started posting that project on another forum,...

Re: Tires for conversions

In the spirit of sharing, I've got a couple of Bruder conversions in the works that I have been gathering parts for. I found these on Ebay, but haven't bought any yet....

Re: 1:10ish Reach Stacker for "conex" cargo containers

dremu:

Couple of questions for you:

1 - What sensor did you use for the pitch and roll detection? I've got an idea rattling around in my head that I can use an Arduino to auto-level a Manitou...

Re: Cat Ride On Conversion

If you do decide to do any conversions, just be sure that you don't do anything irreversible.

I've never seen one like this before. I've seen some kid powered diggers in parks/playgrounds, but...

Oh that's a definite keeper as is, with or without the original sound module. I have never seen anything like it.

Looks like it's even got a latch for locking the boom in the up position for...

I don't know about anybody else, but I can't see any pictures. You need to use a third-party to host your picture files, then link to them. How did you try posting the pictures?

I was wondering about that myself since the posts didn't seem to have much relevance to that particular forum.

That's the one. I've always wondered how the crown gears stand up to long-term use.

Tamiya gearboxes

There have been several Bruder conversions that have used the Tamiya gearboxes, by SmallHaul and others. I was just wondering how these gearboxes have stood up to the test of time.

Re: Cockshutt 70 tractor (1935-48)

Yup, no rocket science to it at all. They're just a place to park your butt and your feet. All you need is a basic frame to keep the butt, foot and back boards from sliding around on the wagon...

Re: Cockshutt 70 tractor (1935-48)

Most of the ones I've seen at fairs have been similar - but different. The ones I've seen have usually been on a converted wagon chassis with back to back bench seats and a foot rest that was a few...

Re: 3D Filament color match to Bruder

I got to looking through the Pantone color chart, searching for a close match to the Bruder color, and then searched for a filament with that color. Here's the Pantone color chart:...

Re: 3D Filament color match to Bruder

I ordered a spool of the "scarlet", but I think I may have screwed up on who I ordered it from, because it's not even close to the sample. I'll use it somewhere, I'm printing out parts for stuff in...

Re: Does anyone here remember "IMC the Company"

If you REALLY want that video in a format you can read now, check at a photo/video shop.

Last year I found a VHS video from 25+ years ago when my wife bought me an hour long flight in an AT6. I...

Re: John Deere 9 Series Tracked Tractor with Planetary Steering

Nice excavator, very realistic - looks like a real kid. Bet the controls can get kinda glitchy on it at times - sometimes does what you don't want it to do?

Had a couple of ideas about the fold...

Re: John Deere 9 Series Tracked Tractor with Planetary Steering

OK... I'm guessing that there's a shaft that's not shown which connects the lift cylinder to the pivot arms for the wheel assemblies. It looks like you've got hangers that will allow you to extend...

How much of the disc will be printed? At first I assumed that all the green would be printed; but then I realized that those were probably just the painted parts on the full-sized disc.

Re: 3D Filament color match to Bruder

Re: 3D Filament color match to Bruder
