Neil the motor has three mounting holes on the front. Use a plate on those holes and then attach to the track frames.

I use Servocity mounts to attach to the sprocket.

Great use of local materials Greg. Do your track pads work well compared to Lou's - doesn't he have some molded plastic ones?

Yes Lou has the molded ones, we have had a pushing contest and my D8 has the upper hand. My pads cut into the dirt rather than float on the top. I would dig a deep hole very fast if I ran up agaist something the D8 could not push. Also the motor I use are 400 oz in per side on 18 volts 25 rpm. Nothing slows them down ! ! !

This was going to be a project down the road with the 400 oz in motors, it would be a tight fit with a pump and spools. I think if a person didn't make the blade 6way, but only up and down I think there would be enough room for the spools for the grapple, boom, and one for the blade..

Sounds good Fred I think you should build it.

A person could also build it all electric I think. I once used servos on my KMC track skidder to operate the boom and grapple, I have to say it works GREAT. I took the centring system out of the servo so that it would turn endless, worked great for winch drums...

Here's my idea on that. Use a 3 spool valve with a second valve to switch between the blade and the grapple functions. You shouldn't really need to use both at the same time. What do you think?

I just picked up a bunch of aluminum flatbar today to make the tracks for a 527. It's going to take a bunch of jigs to make them. Will I be able to? Dunno, but gonna try. Unfortunately, I have this little work thing that makes me the money to buy tools and materials to make things but prevents me from having the time to do it.

Anytime Albert Lou and I enjoyed demonstrating our Iron.. There is quite a group of people you brought with you. I hope we were able to inspire you fellows into construction modeling.
