I will come see it in person if you bring it to any shows/meets. I suspect you are going to have to disassemble for transport

I don't disassemble this machine to move it. I bought an enclosed trailer and leave the boom up. I found this is the easiest way to transport it. |

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Found this video someone took at the spring 2013 Brownsville.PA show. There's a big rock in front of the dirt pile that I was pulling around but the camera man didn't get any footage of that. Not sure just how much it will pull. Never wanted to break it finding out.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Nice video steve-if that big rock by the dirt pile is the one you were moving I would say that is a 100+ tonner in the real world (maybe more). Quiet impressive! The video shows good close-ups of the internals of the model while it is working. Looks like it was working flawlessly as always.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Steve-looks like the 9W was working great as always. To me the dirt did not seem to be good for R/C models. Was there big rocks throughout the dirt-pile? I guess you work with what you have. Nice videos.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Tom , the moisture content was higher then last year . Perfect for compacting Which in turn , when compacted made it hard for my loader to dig effectively .

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
That makes sense steve. I couldn't tell about the moisture but I could easily see the big rocks and also a lot of smaller rocks which it seems would make it hard on the smaller models. The dragline seemed to handle the rocks with no problem but I would like to see some video of how the other models worked the pile. I understand that you modelers have no choice in the dirt that is brought in. You just dig and make it work. Looks like a lot of fun.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Steve,
Did the spring pike show happen this year? I did a quick search here but did not see any posts. I just downloaded a time lapse app on my iPad and it would be cool to get a complete day recording of the dig. Would be cool to watch the dirt pile grow as the weekend progresses. I'm planning to come to the summer show again this year if I'm not otherwise committed, I assume you are going to that one? Jim D |

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
A little update on a new acquisition for the 9W. Had a chance to get the controls from a machine being scrapped. I had an idea to get the whole cab but after the scrapper cut if off, it turned out to be much larger and heavier than anticipated. ~12,000# 14'Lx 11.5'H x 9.5'W
Sooo we took the master switches and foot pedals. Wasn't very easy though but now I have them. I plan on wiring them to my machine so I can get the old time operators to give it a try. Most don't want to use the radio used now. |

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Got it Kerst. The seat is out of a newer truck,"air ride" but it's pretty crusty.
Notice how heavy duty the original mounting plate is for the seat. It must weigh around 150 lbs. It would swing out of the way of the two master switches so the operator can get up from the seat. The swing pedal assembly is very heavy. I need to put it on the scale to see. That this was a real PITA to pull up through the floor after it was cut loose. The floor is made of 1/4'' plate. |

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
That's gonna be cool! Two questions: what is the third lever on the far left for? Propel? And is the doohickey on the back of the left console a compass? I can see where a compass could be handy to make sure you walk in the desired direction since you're facing the wrong way. Point the machine where you want to go, take a reading and then swing 180 degrees from that.

The box with the dial is an indicator for the walking cams showing the position 0-360 deg. so the operator knows when they are at top dead center so the machine is clear to swing. There is also a bell mounted to the right hand console not seen in the picture that will ring when the hoist lines are near the point sheave. Very important while digging at night dusty or foggy conditions when he can't see the top of the boom. |

I cannot open the pictures on post #593. Anyone else have this problem?
