Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
13" high at the cab shield heaped 18.9 litters or 5 USG . Which is good till you get over 8% grade then it starts to roll out the back . The tires are crap for sure :( was wondering how the 1's on the stal equipment would work ). I got stuff to fill them , but it requires a special application gun :(. The jerkiness happens when loaded turning in tight spaces ( ithink I still have the glitching issue that Ken has/had on his payhauler :( . From the looks of all your basement pics , It really wouldn't be efficient as your combos . A guy I talked to at cabin fever last year , told me the real 1's never turned well in tight spaces loaded . They always wanted to plow straight . I was working it in my craw space I moved at least 2 cubic yards of #57 (3/4") stone so far when I had a little time a month or so back .
Who knows , I may build 1 as a tractor with a bottom dump that would double capacity :eek: |
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
I measured the Mammoth @11.75", if memory serves me correctly, it wouldn't be a half inch clearance... you'd need a different box. :(
Even @15L load, I'd get a lot out in a few hrs every day! :D Tandem & tri pup should do pretty well (maybe close to 10L) if the corners aren't too much trouble to navigate. Your series of Mack, did they ever make 6wd? That makes a huge difference for steering control, especially when carrying alot weight on the front axle. I have 3 Stahl models & now the 850 with a 4.8v rx battery installed with the BEC coming from the Sabertooth esc as well. I never have to recharge that rx batt b/c the BEC from esc is keeping it charged & the batt takes care of the current spikes when they happen so no glitches or time outs. ;) Here's some pics of tires... I did some horse trading with PFB, got his excavator dollies, so I think they're the same tires you're using? 1st pic - tires from the wheel loader & the other is from the adt. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psc0e41a36.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ps3a5db299.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ps31c238a4.jpg Nathan used that foam wrap to fill the tires, which created a flat spot where ever it ended... I tried to redo it, butting the ends together with each wrap, but still had a bit of a flat spot where it met. I tried a few other tires I have on hand, but they don't fit the Mil-Spec rims.,..:( Then it occured to me today (while taking the pics) that I should turn out some tire fillers from oak! :D Make the donuts, cut each one in half so I can get them inside the tires for a true round smooth rolling tire... then maybe I can use them without pulling the track hoe out of the dollies b/c of skidding wheels while on the move?! ;) |
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
They never made a 6WD to my knowledge . I think Nate used the 1.9 which are smaller then what I have . mine are 5" dia . I found some on RC machines in Germany I'm just hesitant to buy . they also have nice 1's that get me closer to the size I need on the 990 . I have foundation sill seal wrapped in the fronts . no matter how hard I tried to keep it from over lapping , It bounces . I gotta find the stuff Reg uses . All the furniture co's are gone in my area from when I was a kid :( .

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
The foam I use comes from an automotive upholstery shop. I did the 850KW's fronts the other day and they now work great. I have a home for those mil specs Joe....
|
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
Joe, does your WA500 notice the bigger, and heavier bucket much? Any guesses on the max wieght that the hydraulics can lift on the loader? I am sure it's somewhat dependant on the hydraulic pressure, and there is probably a point of diminishing returns, if you try to raise the pressure much more.
|
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
would cutting the foam at a sharper angle work ?
just like a sanding belt is cut and glued, or even cut it at an angle 90 degrees to the rim never have tryed what you are doing so may not work but it is 5:08 am and can't sleep so sit and think lol |
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
5" dia? The tractor lug for the wheel loader is solid rubber & the other has thick sidewalls, both 5" outer dia. Inner diameters for both wheels are 60mm or 2.4"
This foam Reg, would it carry 80lbs on four tires without excessive squat? ...basement floor is anything but flat! I think the oak donut might work famously... if not, then I'll have to start from scratch to make something else entirely to use these solid rubber wheel loader tires... maybe we make a trade? :D You betcha Nathan, that steel bucket is very noticeable with its additional steel weight, but even moreso with its 2.25" longer depth (@5" total), add to that the BB's in the tires and jacking up the pressure from 12bar to 17 bar, tilting the bucket down won't lift the front tires off the ground anymore! :eek: Chances are the bucket cyl needs to be replaced, the oil might be slipping by the piston; the seal drips a bit too... I need to change all 5cyls on this loader, as they all seep a bit... what a mess it all makes!!! However, the twin loader arm cyls have zero trouble lifting a bucket full quickly with the higher pressure. I understand exactly what you're saying Grady, a 45* splice would definitely be better than a 90* butt joint for a smoother roll... but I don't have any extra to redo the job. Although, after wrapping the rim with each layer - I think 5 layers, then removing it from the rim to scrunch & stuff into the tire, I think I distorted the true shape I previously had & probably didn't gain much... these are crawler tires for lightweight scalers, not meant at all for what I'm trying to do. But I'm gonna try the oak donut before giving up on them totally. |
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
I thought I would see what kind of weight could be put on these homemade foams. I put a 40lbs battery in the back of my R18 for a combined weight on the rear axle of 50lbs. I don't know how much more weight these would take but probably not 80lbs. Something tells me that if I put 80lbs+ in my Euc the tires would be the least of my worries though.

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
Reg, I'd say the tire squat is about as scale perfect as can be!

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
Thanx for the experiment test Reg. :)
No idea Nathan.. intermittent use since 2007... 2 - 300 or more. Always scooped loose soil. I don't have a scale to weigh it (can't buy a scale locally, and never remember it when in the city :rolleyes:), it's definitely 20-25% heavier. No, the motors have tons of power, I could spin all four & sink it to the frame in an instant, if I'd let it. Why haven't you snapped up Ed's loader yet Nathan?! Somebody else is gonna get it again & then you're gonna whine again you missed out! :rolleyes: Buy it! The guilt of the cost of the 1st one stings a little momentarily, but once you discover the enjoyment it brings to use 'em... the cost is a distant thought! It crossed my mind to buy it - trade up, so to speak - but all that mine needs is cyls @<$400, nothing else. And I sure as he77 wouldn't give mine away for much cheaper just to get rid of it. ;) |
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
I almost made it the whole winter without putting a wrench to the 850. :eek: :p :D
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psf84d642d.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ps12640acd.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ps3ae35899.jpg I have a spare gearhead & made the repair last night, thread locking the old steel bushing in place on the new output shaft. It'll take an hour this morning to put everything back together & have it running again... it's good to carry inventory. :cool: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ps1d78619b.jpg |
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
Joe you run a gear reduction on your swing I run it right of the motor shaft. Ed
|
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
Ed, everything pictured, I sent that to you last yr... did you remove the gearhead to run the motor directly on the pinion? :confused:
|
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
wow that 850 held up good!
|
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
About how many hours does that take to let go?
|
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
Joe now to tell you I can't really remember if that what you sent that is what I put on it. Ed
|
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
Joe,
Impressive failure, a 4 or 5mm output shaft sheared off? Even with the hole up the middle of the shaft it would have taken some force to shear it .... Possibly need to change to shaft to something more solid or somehow limit the torque output to minimise the chance of it happening again? Cheers, AP |
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
No idea on the hrs Steve... it was Aug or Sept 2011 when installed, 10cy of hard digging would put the most amount of stress on it, and I use the arm occassionally too to lift the front of tracks & turn.
|
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
The pinion shaft on the gearhead is a solid 4mm, the bore of the pinion gear is 8mm. The hole you see, I just drilled that to pound out the broken pinion shaft from the steel bushing I made to mate the two. I also drilled two holes in the side of the steel bushing so the gear pinion set screws lock onto the output shaft.

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
I popped this boulder out of the ground last night. :eek: The rock laid horizontal, I dug half way down, then was able to hook the bottom with the ripper. ;)

If the forecast for snow this week is wrong, then I'll be hauling out by the wkend. :D |
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
Careful around those utilities, did you have a "locate" done to make sure you don't hit anything? :p
You are having way too much fun! Jim |
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
lol! Remember, Call Before You Dig!!

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ps31c238a4.jpg
Joe, which company did you get the middle tire from ? looks perfect for something I have in mind . |
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
The blueprints only show one honey line below ground Rvjimd, everything else is above ground. ;)
Steve, I got them from ric when I was at his house in Jan '06... I don't know where he got them... I only have the four. |
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
That's a nice size boulder you unearthed there. I'm sure when you first hit it you felt a bit excited to see if the 850 may have a challenge in its path. But doesn't look like it broke a sweat.
|
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
The excitement :confused: ...I guess it does make me smile at the abilities that this model has... I haven't touched the pic axe in two yrs!!! :D
|
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
Mebbe Ric would chime in and identify it...
I agree as well, that tire looks favulous for a few ideas, got any specs on it, like OD/width and rim it would fit on? I'm looking for alternates for my Robbe 6x6 amphib, and that looks sweet for my project. Then again, so does the smaller one on the right... WhiteWolf PS: that pipe along the wall looks rather rusty... may wanna look into replacement before it 'lets go' on you and floods you in YUCK. |
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
It's cast iron! it's not going to corrode.
|
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
Joe! I went through the whole thread but I think what I am looking for was back on the garden forums...
The green globe, It looks like you are using a F350 transmission? or did you combine one with a stock semi transmission? I am working on a 6x6 globe as well. did you have to change your mounts for any axles? |
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
I'm just using the rear plate to bolt the F350 transfer case to the back of the stock trans.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...r/IMG_0440.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...r/IMG_0446.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...r/IMG_0447.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...r/IMG_0450.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...r/IMG_0457.jpg RC4WD offers a better option nowadays with a wee bit more reduction over the f350 case & you probably won't have to lift the trans quite as much for clearance. http://store.rc4wd.com/T1-Disruptor-...ing_p_859.html I just drilled the stock leaf springs to bolt the TLT's directly to them... used a dremel on the axle to make a divet for the leaf spring rivet, help center the axle over the leafs before drilling the holes. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...RollOff008.jpg |
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
Finnished digging across to the wall last wkend
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ps46ea68de.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ps7a8be795.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psf6fd1a05.jpg I have a bit of a hump in the middle where the water didn't penetrate deep enough, didn't want to make anymore mud at this time. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ps991d6f5a.jpg ... it's been snowing or raining all week, so no hauling out. I had a little bit previously crushed dirt to dump into the wall, using the loader with the new bucket it now fills the KH 2.5 scoops! previous spade bucket was a little more 4 scoops. This one scoop! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ps2ea27640.jpg And what's left of the 3rd that doesn't fit. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psb3a2a24b.jpg I have this here radiant heater, starting using Tues to dry down the moist dirt quickly and have been screening since Wed... half the pile is seperated already, with the lumps dumped behind water heater & the fines added to an already massive pile. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psbe7aa7d7.jpg Gosh!!! talking about snow thru the wkend, I don't see double digits yet in the long term forecast even... my air drill is still sitting in a snowbank!!! :eek: This time last yr I started seeding on the 21st of April. :rolleyes: Too wet & cold to do anything productive outside and running out of space to do things inside. :( |
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
Ya, the wx stinks here in Iowa as well! When is it gona warm up?
Anyway, Joe, you could make a quick little video for us. That might make everyone a bit warmer inside:D Jim |
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
thanks for the pics Joe!!
I have both transmissions, so I guess I'm making one heck of a tranny like yours and one backwards looking one if i got enough parts left over lol. I plan to put a planetary up front and you just cant do that on a HL stock tranny. and yeah, snowing like a bugger here today!! its half way through friggin April!! |
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
Video? that just eats up too much of my data cap, which if I hit my cap for the month, it sends my speed back to the dark ages & makes navigating this forum even, extremely painfully slow! The videos will be few & far between till an alternative comes along. :/ Thanx for your interest though Jim. :)
Dean, the HL trans has a huge amount of reduction built into it already and there's far more choices nowadays for various torquey motors to pick from... which would make installation far less complicated than what I have done and still have the same power cap. ;) |
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
well i do have a rc4wd 80t in it.. im looking at the pile of parts on my desk and looking at the pieces from each tranny.. im really thinking ill stay with the stock f350 tranny. lots of parts dont exactly line up very well lol.
sucks they have you capped so much. you on that line of sight high speed thing? lol could always mail me the SD card lol! :P |
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
What's been going on joe? You've made it to the second page of the construction thread :o
I have been missing seeing your updates, and ofcourse the pictures and videos :) Hope to hear from you soon, buzzy. |
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
Spring planting Buzzy! Started putting in crop a week ago, prepped all the necessary equipment the week before that. Another week should get it done, but there's rain in the forecast starting Tues... which will be a welcome sight b/c the surface dryness & dust flying as I rip the ground is getting a bit intense at times. A half inch to inch of moisture this week would be perfect for what I have seeded & to mellow the ground for the 2nd half I have to seed next.
It's summertime here man! A time to be outdoors & being productive to make lots of cash$ for activities indoors 6 months from now! :D Thank you for your interest. :) |
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
we had rain in the forcast to. now its gone! can't trust the weathernetwork!
|
Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
Jeeze Joe I had to go all the way to page 3 to find you ..Been quite some time ..thought I would say hello anyway cause I saw you lurking on another thread a short time ago ..Guess you must be spending any spare time getting the inside of that new shop all buttoned up (any updates ) and getting ready for harvest ..Need a Farmhand ?..I can operate almost any machine ..Well in 1/14 scale anyway ...lol..It looks as though I may be alberta bound soon anyway and headng for the patch ..Anyway Missing the ole farmer :)
