Hum,, printing up the blanks are pennys in materials,,, making the mold is a little cash,,,, maybe I could make you the tire in 3d print, then you could do the mold and castings. Anything to get you started on another scratch build

I'll have a look at what your thinking.

There's a brand new 988K in the shop right now ! I can take pics for ya or,
If you want to build something more old school ( of course you do ) I can get pics of them to

The new K model looks pretty sharp though

I was thinking something like this http://allcarsnewz.com/photo/im/cate...01/default.htm

A new one would be cool too it just wouldn't match my trucks all that well. If I went new I would probably do a 980 because that would be a more common size to see in a dryland sorting logs.

I love pictures!

I was born n raised on those old girls! You love pics? How about the one on my wall that I keep saying I'm going to put in a frame someday.
I've worked on this very machine many, many times. It came to our shop and was completely rebuilt every 20,000 hrs. 3 times! had over 80,000 hrs on it when they retired it.

60cuyd chip bucket. Actually had steel rollers on the back edge of bucket and always ran on the concrete pad chip pile area. The inside of that bucket was as shiny and polished as Chrome!

Yeah that's perfect! Old square stuff is easier to build than the modern "plastic in real life" crud.

Funny you should post that picture... How do you like this one?



I have a good video uploading. It will provide some entertainment so get out your popcorn Bo.lol

Oops....I see I may have opened a can of worms on you Reg, now everyone will be suggesting what you should build next....my turn....I have to agree with you about having a loader, watching your vids with you using the small loader looks like fun, a larger version would be able to do a bit more "work" if you can use the words work and RC in the same sentence. I would vote for a big loader with a high lift......we should both build one at the same time, same machine two different scales....oh but it has to be big enough to load a 777

I wouldn't want to build anything larger than a 988 but if that would load a triple 7 then

OK guys, here's another conveyor video. Heaped scoops and well, you'll see.lol
