Re: Unit Cable Hoe
Hi Scott. I'm really looking forward to seeing this come together! It should be a really neat model, when done. I'm also looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the servo and chain drive. I've seen those goodies for sale online, and it's really easy to dream up all kinds of drives and uses for a continous rotation servo and the sprockets that fit them. It's pretty amazing. Stuff like that never used to be so readily available!

Re: Unit Cable Hoe
Thanks for the interest Nathan! I am really looking forward to building this to. I like the complexity of it. It will have gears, pulleys, sprockets, chains, cables, tracks & drums.

Re: Unit Cable Hoe
Scott I think it's cool how you breath new life into the beloved toys we used to play with.
Who would have ever thought when we were on are knees making motor sounds with our mouths, that years later when we are to old and cramped up to get down on our knees, that we would still play with the same old toys in a whole new way. Great work on all your "Restorations" -Mike

Re: Unit Cable Hoe
Well, metering the current under full load dragging the crane up the hill it is drawing .85 amps (850 milliamps). I was surprised, I thought it would have been a little over an amp. I then had the crane drag itself up and down the ramp about 20 times to see if the servo would get hot and it didn't. It barely got warm to the touch. So, the servos might be fine running the tracks but, only time will tell.

Re: Unit Cable Hoe
The pulleys are now added and they made a big difference in how the boom rises while digging. Now I need to figure out the second tower by the cab and how that is setup because I think that will help a lot when you reach the bucket all the way out and down.
