If you look at the 1:1 Unit Hoe in the first post it looks like it only loops back on itself once so, I'll probably do that.

I have the Jack boom setup and it works nice. It is not exactly like the Unit Hoe setup but, its close. After I Get the pics from Neil (Doodlebug) I can make it right.

Looks like you have it. I wish the freakin youtube vids would download faster! There must be something wrong because It takes way too long to buffer. I even have a fiber optic line to my shop for internet and takes way longer than the actual video run time.
Sorry to change the subject Scott.

Looks like you pretty much nailed it on the jack boom, Scott. After seeing that last video I'm turning green with envy.

Once you get that thing perfected you can move on to this:

Awesome addition to your fleet can't wait to see the finished product. Everyone on here is a very bad influence for me I with all these impressive models. Very nice Scott I'm really looking forward to seeing the undercarriage on this one.

Two Thumbs Up!!

Now I'm gonna scare you! I know where one is sitting! (Koehring skooper).
It's up by Rio Tinto's Kennecott Copper Mine in Utah. Yah Mike, possible road trip!
Later, Neil#2 aka doodlebug.

Another solution : the jack boom is attached rigid to the A-frame.

Not easy to load with this central sprocket design, but there's not a lot of these left, so it was worth saving it

By the way, it was fun to carry it back home....

It is not too bad if you just route one line at a time.

Papy, can you make a thread for this in the 1:1 equipment forum and post some detailed pics when you get a chance? Cool machine.
