Re: Jensen steam eng. elevator and crane.

Dump truck didn`t get here until today, it`s neat looking but not enough power to navigate the roads in the sandpit I made up.

Re: Jensen steam eng. elevator and crane.

I`ve ordered this dump truck twice from Amazon and it showed it was in stock, both have been canceled saying they are out of stock.
The last supplier even emailed and said it was shipped, I`m pissed.

Re: Jensen steam eng. elevator and crane.

Ok, the plan is to load in one of the two loading places then take a lap through town then back up the ramp and dump back in the pile.
Truck won`t be here until middle of next week.

Re: Another Hobby Engine crawler crane.

Another complaint with this crane is the tracks come off easy when turning even in dirt.
Any fix for that like making them tighter or maybe more of a bevel on the sides of the driver sprockets.

Re: Jensen steam eng. elevator and crane.

Getting my little area set-up, added a retaining wall for a place to back the dump truck into if I want to load directly from the pile with the crane.

Re: Another Hobby Engine crawler crane.

One thing I don`t like about this crane is there`s no speed control driving it, wide open or nothing which makes it hard to reposition.
