Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Lou, you're making great progress. Can't believe how much you've accomplished since last Sat. If you keep that up it'll be moving dirt before Christmas. Well maybe not, I got the bad news our goodies are out of stock and won't be shipped till the 20th Dec. Anyhow great work and keep the pictures coming.
Rob

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Wow! Nice work Lou! You have been busy, that's for sure. I am amazed at the pieces you have been able to make with such a small cnc. Are you pushing to have this done for the show in CR? Do you know a solid date for that yet?

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Excellent job!!!...WOW!!...I know how much time and work it takes me to make parts for my simple builds so I can appreciate and admire the work you have in this build...
This forum is loaded with many very skilled and talented people which is a great help for those of us who may be lacking in skills and new to the hobby... Keep up the great work !!!

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Almost ready for paint now eh?

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Close Rob may have to use it for snow removal ..lol ..thanks for the update on those parts ..we will definalely have to get together for some xmas drinks

Reg im on a roll...Im waitint for parts for work so I have my head burried in Cad / Cam ..Been fun though ..havent heard anything yet about the show yet but soon im sure

Thanks .Yeh it does take some plannig .thanks for sharing your great ideas as well...so far I only had a few screw ups..The neck is very full up front with not alot of room..two servos and the drive system..Its working but not perfectly ..try and get some drivetrain test video up..

Jerrrett ..not Quite yet..lol..All the details are gona take some time but I am almost ready for hydros ..still a few bugs to work out ..I am not sure if the big 1/4 scale servo is gona be quite strong enough for the atriculation yet after some short testing ..may have to go hydro ..On the plus side that would make more room in the engine compartment

Thanks for looking

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

I did some testing on the drivetrain ..sorry no vids yet but soon ..and had some difficulty with the steering and binding ..I ended up making a bearing block and seems to work much better ..The o-ring drive belt i was using at first was slipping too much and putting too much tension on the whole assembly so i dug in my parts box and foung a nice little tooth belt and cogged pullies..Much better ..Having the front wheel drive makes things way more complicated and wheel tilt as well as having the whole asembly ossilate and steering was a challenge to make work ok ..still not perfect but it does work..

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Wow Lou, nice progress. I can just imagine that the 6 wheel drive is probably twice as complex than the 4 wheel dive would be to build. Your doing a jam up job on this and your CNC work. Ready to see it work.

I ran Robs blade at ST Louis last year it was blast. Your going to have fun with this.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Thank you Joe ..Rolling right along and having fun with this build ..Robs Machine is so impressive ..I can wait to see what your next build is ..I hope you srart something soon
heres a small clipon my facebook page of the gearbox ..yeh it works ..Pretty strong little gear motor for the size ..im impressed

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Very nice work. Can't wait to see it working.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Lou
As always when I look at your builds I say to myself I have a ways to go to meet your projects quality. One question I think I see 2-56 hex head bolts, my Pacfic Fastner source ended only 4-40 now where do you get yours

Earl

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Looking good Lou! Inspirational.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Great job Lou. You are raising the bar for the rest of us Island guys for sure. I am looking forward to seeing this at the CR show!

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Thanks for all the great comments guys

Earl Yes lots of 2/56 on this build ..Micro fasteners and Festener express have them in stock ..a little cheaper at fastener express and I found 2/56 x 14 there as well where micro fasteners doesnt have those ..I really wish the head pattern was a little smaller and more scale on the 4/40 in stainless ..I have seen some in brass at a link for train supplies that Rob sent me ..should give them a try as well ..Rob said his prices were good too .. http://www.americanmodeleng.com/id41.html

Reg did you say Bar ....Im trying to stay away from bars ..lol..Seriously ..Im trying to keep upto you these day ..Your a building machine ..lol..Should be at least functionalby the show in CR

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

T-n-T-Lou-great work on a very complicated model. These look like the toughest to build out of all the construction models. Good job!!

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Lou
Just thought I would give you this site for 2-56 Hex Head bolts looks like about a quarter of the price of American Model 2-56 SS X 3/8 is $6.10 per 100 http:www.microfastners.com/home.php?cat=576.
Thanks for pointing out sites to look for.

Earl

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Wow....tracksandtredlou you are where I hope to be when I retire. I hope to have a small network of friends and equipment when I retire to do just what you have done. Very nice Sir and keep posting please!
