1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline

[9W Monighan]

May 6-7-8 2011 International Watch Fob Collectors .http://www.watchfob.com/show.html near the Cleveland Airport . One of the leaders has a open house at his gravel pit on Sunday only.(Not sure if it's open to all.) Near Mantua,Ohio. The pit is real close to the turnpike and if you know where to look you can see part of his pit. Operating 1:1 shovels draglines,dozers, loaders and other machinery. I want to take the dragline and set it up in his shop and dig some sand and gravel. I was trying to do it last year but it rained that weekend and I was still tacking the bucket together and didn't make it.

Been working very slow lately. Thought I'd post a couple from this week.
Setting up boom to mill the chords to proper length


Now I need to make plates and attach to the ends so the channel that holds the front pillow block on can be mounted.
That wood block I used temporally for the point sheave came in handy to hold everything in alignment.


I miscounted the quantity of 1.25'' sheaves needed. I still need about 5 more and 4- 1''dia.
This is the first side then I will flip them over locate to one of the holes and continue milling the pockets.

Interesting clamp configuration .
Did you turn the small sheaves manually or via cnc?

BTW: did you get my last pm?
