Re: LilGiantsConstrCO
I think the trans in this trk dates back to 1998 . The aluminum gear on the left was the motor pinion, the middle aluminum gear was on top shaft of trans & the gear change disc is out of the front of trans, I change that too b/c the center had quite a bit of wear & so did the shift fork groove.
I came up with this idea yesterday to keep the inside of conveyer belt on crusher clean... I haven't taken the time to try it yet. The brush came from a car window ice scraper. And here's the jungle of hoses & wiring I've been trying to stuff under the hood. I made this plastic box mostly for the purpose of having somewhere to mount the on/off switch so I could reach it without removing the hood. The speed controls for pump & swing are inside there. I painted the counter weight, then decaled it and then clear coated to protect/seal the decal... for some reason the clear had a reaction with the paint I don't have any extra decals, 5 feet away you can't see it & probably before too long I'll have it dirty & all scratched up anyway. The body parts I made, everything butted together so well before the electrical & hyd plumbing. This disconnect is where my gauge plugs in... once the pressure is set (20bar), really don't need it anymore & don't have the space for it anyway. I have a variety of fittings, but of course not exactly what I needed for a simple connection of the gauge... I made the engine hood not quite high enough for this 3D printed piece to fit, added a 3mm shim, now it fits. I unbolted the pump from the floor so I could get a good grip with my fingers on the suction & return lines... presently no more leaks. I haven't added any inserts to the return lines. I got it all tuned up: the tracks, the swing, the pump, all 5 valves; everything works, mixes are programmed. I even tried out the hammer, pounding into a piece of wood 2x4 a quarter inch deep is where it stopped. Now to just finish the bodywork, paint it & off to the basement.
