Re: Dragline Crawler Build

Looking better every day jim-That is a steep hill but your drive motors seem to have plenty of power. The bucket is working good also. Did you make a change or just better digging conditions. I...

Re: Dragline Crawler Build

Nice video jim-looks like the operator is getting back in the groove. You may have the drag chains mounted too high on the bucket. I think that is why it wants to tip over forward. Just some minor...

Re: Dragline Crawler Build

Jim-I was just teasing you. A lot of people on here like to brag about how much suspension travel they have in there models and watching you crawl over that air hose made me see just how realistic...

Re: Dragline Crawler Build

Jim-that seems to work really good!! Your suspension looks a bit stiff to me though. :D :D Just my opinion but you have gone this far, I say put a 3rd. roller on the top just for looks if nothing...

Re: Dragline Crawler Build

Jim-I know what you mean about the rec.. The last one I hooked up was so small I almost couldn't deal with it. I think you made a good choice on the roller pins. It may take some time to make the jig...

Re: Dragline Crawler Build

Nice work jim-this is the pay-off for all that work. The operator does look a bit rusty but I'm sure this will work it's self out :D. How many channels are you running? You have a lot going on there.

Re: LilGiantsConstrCO

Joe-your shop is really shaping up. This will be a 1st. class workshop with plenty of room and comfortable working conditions. I would have a hard time getting the farm work done with this sitting...

Re: Dragline Crawler Build

Your making good progress jim. You should be moving dirt soon. You may not be thinking about this now but are you planning to R/C the truck that this dragline goes on? That's a good idea to still use...

Re: Dragline Crawler Build

Jim-seems like you have a good plan. Will the O-rings for the drive belt have enough grip? Aren't those track pads fun!!! :D

Re: Dragline Crawler Build

I see you are making progress jim-You said you would have to raise the swing gear over this motor. Is that going to cause any problems? I like 9W's idea on the movements but that would require a lot...

Re: Progress Thread - 8750 Marion Dragline

TYLERDSAudi-why don't you try to reduce the size of your pictures. I don't think there is a link for the pulleys you need. Those you will have to make or have made. If you are looking to build cheap,...

Re: Dragline Crawler Build

Your welcome jim-your project is looking good. Looking ahead,narrower pads will probably work better. It will take more of them but they will make the circle easier. From what I see on machines today...

Re: Progress Thread - 8750 Marion Dragline

TYLERDSAudi-I would NOT use a computer p.s.. I did that on my dragline and it worked for a while but only after adding chokes, capacitors, etc. but then it finally quite. The computer p.s. does not...

Re: Progress Thread - 8750 Marion Dragline

TYLERDSAudi-nice to see someone building a dragline. From your explanation I'm not sure what you are trying to do with the controls. R/C controlled or hard wired? These joysticks claim to be radio...

Re: Dragline Crawler Build

Jim-that is probably a better system for tension adjustment but as I said before, once you get the tension set correctly I don't think you will need to adjust it again. Keep working!!

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline

Good to see you got this working steve-that seat was a great find. Probably not many of those left. Does it feel strange operating your model with this set-up? Will this module be portable enough...

Re: Dragline Crawler Build

Jim- isn't it nice to see all that work finally shape into something. Looks good, although that 2nd picture with the close up of the tumbler is confusing to me. The pitch looks good except on 1-pad....

Re: Dragline Crawler Build

Re: Dragline Crawler Build

Jim-your thinking is right on with this. The dia. of the tumbler dictates the size of all the other parts. You may have some work to do on the tumblers but I think you are on top of that. Personally,...
