Re: RCLogger
Joe I used the band saw to cut it out, just takes a little more time and patience than I have. The tip is replaceable, I milled out the back and used the split pins to hold it in place.

Re: RCLogger
Thanks for the kind words guys !
I guess you could say its a little brother, but Dan it is from another family compared to your machine. Mine is stand a few hundred feet away scale compared to yours.LOL Nathan I use photo's from the internet and I scale up brochers. As far as the track tension, I do use a spring in the track frames to keep the tension, also if a rock or any type of debree goes into the idelers the spring compensates. If you look at the 1-1 the pivot point is just ahead of the sprocket on the track frame. They have a system to keep the proper track tension as well... |

Re: RCLogger
Great progress Greg! Love that you made the tooth on the ripper removable, then when it wears down from ripping rock you can change it out

I think you mentioned using air cylinders from McMaster for this and other projects...they hold up pretty good? I think I like the looks of those better than Clippards. Keep thinking I need to do something to turn down the square ends on the Clippards. Joe |

Re: RCLogger
Why don't you order direct from TTM Modellbau? Order in bulk, bank wire, you'll have your stuff inside of two weeks.

Re: RCLogger
Greg Looking better every day. Did you spin that side up. If you put some lead in her, she'll have some serious push for the blade and pull for the ripper
