You got that right, Dalton. I don't want either one.........(again)

D8R · #**142** 10-03-2010, 12:26 PM

Looks realy good Joe, hope I can have a video to show someday, I feel like a slow builder comparing to some of you guys. But results like yours here makes me try harder.
keep it up, looking forward for more videos.

Joe, I know that you discussed the need of some sort spring for the tracks, do you, or some one else know how much force this needs to have??

Dan, here is a pic of the leather sweeps to keep the roller rails clean.

I had planed on making a video today but had some problems when the dozer through a drive chain on one of the motors and all that torque is good until the chain raps up on the sprocket and then it gets ugly quick. Burnt up some small ground wires and twisted the motor around in the mount. But it is all fixed now so maybe when my nephew comes down next weekend I can get another video. Unless I can get my wife to do a video for me sooner.

The new apron works well except for the side of the apron are still binding so I'm going to cut them down and that should fix that little problem.

I was going to use high performance valve springs out of a Harley but just woundup just using 2 set screws on each side.

Someone had asked me what scale this is in, it's 1/10.

J Hall · #**147** 10-03-2010, 09:53 PM

1/10 scale...Thanks Joe

Dirtpusher9, I'm new around here and am very curious about about the tracks and under carriage on your CAT. Did use roller chain or??
Thanks Love the setup.

dirtpusher9 · #**149** 10-05-2010, 08:36 PM

I used 1 1/4'' x 1 1/4'' x 1/8'' ''T'' steel for the tracks, 13 different operations per pad.

I used double pitch half links for the rails.

W900snowman · #**150** 10-06-2010, 08:41 AM

Ok, Thank you very much. That's a big help

ihbuilder · #**151** 10-06-2010, 10:12 AM

Joe , you told me on GT and I didn't save it

, where did you get the T bar ? I google it and get a whole bunch of BS .

Thanks Steve

9W Monighan · #**152** 10-06-2010, 10:24 AM

Steve, You need Tee bar? I have tons of it. What size?

JAMMER · #**153** 10-06-2010, 11:10 AM

Steve , to do what joe did ,I would need the same size 1.25 x 1.25 x 1/8 . prob is I have this want to make them look exactly like the real pads . I'm thinking of putting a horizontal mill cutter on my lathe w a vice on the cross feed and mill them . unless your up to it like you did for your I beams

How big of T do you have ? PM or call . I could do what I want ,with 1.5 or 1.75 would be easier . got this project just about off the drawing board just some lil details . Sorry Joe I'm hijacking

Here's a new video of the scraper short hauling. The material was a little sticky and had some operator error but we had fun.
