Re: LINN Model DD-15 "HafTrak" Dump (1/14)
That's looking good! I'm looking at those phillips head screws, though. There's a site called microfasteners.com that sells small hex head nuts and bolts that would look real good on that case.

Re: double ended hydraulic cylinder

Re: Caterpillar 990H - 1:14.5
I was trying to figure out how the lock ring on the rim works because I couldn't see any retainers or split in it to allow it to come off. Then I realized the rims are two halves sharing the...

Re: Euclid R-62 dump truck
That looks great! Can't wait to see it loaded, starting out on the flat and then climbing a hill, downshifting on the way up.

Re: Old school Cat D8H
Somehow I had a feeling when I saw the D8H in the thread index that you were gonna be from Washington. Are you a logger? Loggers love them D8s, especially H's.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
