Ny-Lint Mobile Dragline Conversion

Looks like you are making some progress jim- I see you are learning the machining side of modeling. It's fun as a hobby but I think you will find that buying tooling is a never-ending process. I have had my lathe for 25 years and I still don't have everything I need but I just get something when I realize I cannot make a part without buying something else. I guess you got lucky on the boom fail. Booms crashing usually cost millions of $$$

Jim, this is looking good, I'm following close as I have the same unit sitting on the table waiting to be converted. Won't get done any time soon, there is about 5 projects ahead of it.
So what actually failed, it looked like it spit the boom drum out?
