Dozer Upgrade
I want to upgrade my die cast dozer conversion and thought I might try replacing the track drive servos with right angle gear motors or maybe some DIY worm gear arraignment.

Re: DIY Linear Actuator or...
Fin,
Thanks for the idea, I was actually thinking the same way! The leverage and torque is real good with the 10-24 thread and I was able to move the actuator closer to the pivot so that shortens...

Ah, I didn't get that from my instruction manual but I shall check that when I finally get to that point.

Re: Nylint michigan crane conversion, hopefully
Cool, glad to see you working on it!

Re: Ny-Lint Mobile Dragline Conversion
Friz,
This thread probably has more stuff related to my crane conversion. It is the crawler undercarriage that I made last fall.
