Re: Dragline Rebuild
Did you figure this out yet Tom? I was talking to Jim B last night and he was talking about the problem with centering you were having. What are the micro switches used for? A cut out in the circuit?...

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Got it Kerst. The seat is out of a newer truck,"air ride" but it's pretty crusty.

Re: Current alarm, for a motor
Perhaps limit the voltage to have it stall when max amperage or torque is reached. Or build in an adjustable slip clutch on the winch drum for max torque needed.
