Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Thanks Lou for posting the pictures. Sure had a great time moving dirt with you two. The FWD is a tough truck and it survived the roll over, never even broke the mirror off. I'm pretty sure we moved about 42 loads until Greg put that big one on by packing it down. Those screw drives are tough tho, as it still lifted the box crammed like that. Go FWD!!!

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Looks like a good time! Maybe I should come up on the long weekend hey Lou;).

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

:D I think that pile of dirt would take a while with that big machine of yours ..I think Gregs away for the long weekend ..Be fun to have you come up though :bounce:

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Seems to me there is something else that I'm supposed to do this weekend...Oh yeah that's right, I'm getting married:eek:... I'll get up there sometime though....

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Cool videos, Lou. Your IH TD25 is a really nice model. I've always liked it. Something different then Caterpillar yellow machines, but Greg's dozer is a great model too. I'd be glad to own either! Looks like you had a good time.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Excellent stuff, makes me really really want a vario!! :(

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Thanks guys ..I can easily kill 4 hours hanging out and moving dirt or logs with greg and rob ..As you can see i have been getting the dozer back into the operating mode ..i used to have planatarys in the sprokets and they wernt sealed enough ..They would get plugged up so I got rid of them ..some of the photos you can see the new hubs ..works much better but a little fast ..may order a couple sprokets and gear it down a bit more .I was also not quite happy with the blade up/down travel and finaly got around to swapping out the cycinders from 2" to 3" travel. much better

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Looks good Lou! I like how you have incorporated an old road sign into the frame. You better get busy though. Don't you have a gravel truck to build?

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Hi Tracksntreadslou

Your International TD 25 dozer did you make it your self or did you buy it as a kit off some one?

I like how it looks as is has a old school look to it.

Regards from Cameron.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

The parts look pretty crisp! :cool:

So how many hrs do you have logged learning your cnc to get this far Lou? :D

Thanks Joe ..The little tag Has very little backlash..Im getting much more cofortable on the CAD program..Learning a few 3D parts as well..The main thing with these things you have to remember is the it makes mistakes if you tell it to..I broke about a half dozen tool bits learning ..I have about 200 hours on it now ..the first 100 took in setting up and installing limit switches ..Sure glad they are there ..Now with the way its set up when I first start the gcode program if there is some thing not correct in travel the machine wont start traveling ..Very cool ..im realy ejoying this ..I do want to have a bit bigger manual milling machine at my disposal one day ..

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Coming alone very well Lou. How many functions are you going to have ? And how many are going to be spools?

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Awesome! I love the CNC machined parts! Maybe someday I'll be able to make something as cool as your grader. Looking forward to the updates, Lou.
