Default Re: Great Dane excavating co.

Thanks, I forgot to drill two holes in top deck for wires to be able to pass down neck. Grinding a square hole with dremmel isn't fun. Will be somewhat hidden anyway. Only problem I see is that neck doesn't completely rise to where travel position would be. Pivot points are maxed out to keep actuators in neck. But the landing legs compensate for that be lifting trailer pretty high , enough and then some for truck to hook up. That's why I'm putting battery in axle area to keep neck deck as light as possible. It will still work but not 100% as I wanted. Knew that from early on. Once I get holes cut in for wires and working with new landing legs ( re-made parts can see one on top of cardboard) then I'll start on securing decking. All I'm planning on doing with that is glueing wood strips (side to side) on underside catching ibeams (like a clamp) hopefully done by next week. And have to start painting excavator.
