Re: Metso Lokotrack LT120, Jaw Crusher.

Re: Gravel screener build
I got it to work from your photo site.
Looks like you got something there. That conveyor sure needs a lower angle though. I hope to be working on something like this soon too.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Ha. The vintage1:1 machine this represents is small compared to newer models.
Thanks for the interest in my build. Wish I could work on it more but time is limited due to running my business.

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Very nice. You can just fuse those seams together without filler but you need to be careful not to round over the sharp edge or you will need some filler to grind off.

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
That sure looks like a nice place. I always admire those big stone farm houses while traveling East.
Changing the subject; where did you get that fancy welding table?

Re: Tig welder to purchase.
I would bolt it also. Or, Mig it and grind the weld down smooth. Bring it down to my shop and we can do it for you free.

Re: Ny-Lint Mobile Dragline Conversion

Watch some of Bennett Shovels Lima 2400...

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
I just thought of something. Did you figure the camber and caster out on your steering geometry? It looks like everything is 90deg of each other. There was a big discussion about this on "Dads...

Re: Interesting Mining Video
Nice video. The humming sounds you hear in the cab of the dragline are the variable inductors mounted to the ends of the control levers. I replaced mine with 10K potentiometers to control my speed...

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
The machine fared well in the trailer Tom. There is a bunch of surface rust from Labor Day because I forgot to spay her down with some WD40.
I got the incoming power supply wired up pretty well...

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
This machine in somewhat ideal conditions and swinging 90deg it can move a pile of dirt approximately 44" high in about 8-10hrs of steady digging. With damp sand that number would be higher.
