Re: Boom/crane truck
Freddy, couple of questions for you. Where do you get your hydraulics and where did you get the diamond plate?
Do you use a CNC machine for cutting your parts. This is looking great, keep up the good work!!! A+ |
Re: Boom/crane truck
Hydro's and D plate come from PMD and he uses a saw to cut all his parts he is just that good..
|
Re: Boom/crane truck
Trailer almost looks as good as the truck:rolleyes: I still can't believe you just use a scroll saw to do the majority of your metal work.

Re: Boom/crane truck
Freddy, I use a scroll saw as well. I have been needing to get a variable speed unit. What brand and model is yours? I know what you mean about feeding it slow and just giving it what is wants. What size of blade do you use, teeth wise? Thanks for the input.

Re: Boom/crane truck
Fred your looking good with the build. I bought 2 lb. blocks of wax and tried it and a little goes a long way. Hit it once with the wax and cut out 2 mirrors for the excavator. Ed;)

Re: Boom/crane truck
AAAWWWW.......Now you got me TC1. I actually have a mimi lazer in my basement.:D These are the parts I just got done burnin out this mornin.
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4957.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4958.jpg Yea,you should'a seen the look on the chicks face at the power company when I told her I wanted to put a 3phase 400amp service into a residential house.:eek::eek: To run my lazer:eek::eek::D:D:cool:. Now Z/C,I'm givin you some of my secrets here, would be nice if it don't come back & bite me in the butt.:rolleyes: I use 3 different teeth per inch blades. http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4965.jpg Fine you use for very thin aluminium.Medium for a little thicker,& coarse for thick alum. If you try to use coarse for thin,it'll just grab it. Fine or med on thick alum will run hot & Just make a mess. Be sure to hit blade w/bee's wax about every 15 seconds if you want perfect cuts. If the blade gets hot,it's all over. Hey Jammer,I won't say I told you so.:p Works slick don't it? Well Guys & Gales,Thanks for the nice complements! A little more work on the trailer http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4959.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4960.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4961.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4963.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4964.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4969.jpg I can't believe how much the truck settled from all the weight. http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4967.jpg Yea,this babies gittin some more springs,it's draggin it's butt now,& there's still a lot more parts that weight yet to go in.:eek: I'de have to haul cotton balls for a load :o Here's a couple more pics of the two hooked together. http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4966.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4968.jpg Yea,she'll look a lot better sittin level. Glad I didn't waste the parts makin it front wheel drive. Those back axles have a LOT of weight on them. Thanks for lookin! FGD |
Re: Boom/crane truck
Fred it does work and it isn't as messy as ATF. The 2 mirrors for the excavator I just hit it once timer with each mirror. The blocks I got are thick so that may be the reason it cut so well with out having to keep putting it on because I notice it filled the teeth with wax. Ed
|
Re: Boom/crane truck
Fred there is one other thing I noticed you have a solid table were as mine has a plastic insert were the blade goes through the table. I am going to have to make another plate out of thick aluminum to replace it because if flexes on short pieces. Ed

FGD |
Re: Boom/crane truck
Pfft..you can't do that with just a scroll saw..:p I think there is a full CNC setup hiding behind the cardboard "curtain".:D
Nice work Fred. |
Re: Boom/crane truck
;)bout time somebody used oil shocks as cylinders - best not boost your pump up to 15 bar though.....might get messy....:eek:
:DBut honestly - let us know how they hold up! |
Re: Boom/crane truck
Very nice freddy
BTW, when your done digging yourself out of the metal shavings, hows about responding to my PM talk to ya soon Alfy |
Re: Boom/crane truck
Great Tips Freddy
I went out and got myself some bee's wax, great tip and it ALSO makes the shop smell sweeeeettt. lol greg |
Re: Boom/crane truck
Nice work pops. I like the cylinders. Was it a pain in the hinder to make 'em?
|
Re: Boom/crane truck
Thanks Guys!
Chris,I hope they hold,There 10mm pistons.Hopefully won't have to run real high pressure. Greg,try it on your taps,Makes for a smoother thread. What a pain in the butt to get this drive shaft in. It took me like 2hrs. http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4990.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4991.jpg You can't fit a fleas butt between the shaft & outrigger housing. http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4995.jpg But I got'er! Thanks for lookin! FGD |
Re: Boom/crane truck
wow fred i was going to ask how u where going to fit the drive line under the outrigger..
|
Re: Boom/crane truck
Yea,it was a tight fit.Speaking of a tight fit,This baby is gunna need some shoe horns involved,to git the cab over all the electronics.
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics5052.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics5051.jpg & there's still a lot of crap that has to go in here!:eek: Man!I can't wait to play w/this one. Thanks for lookin! FGD |
Re: Boom/crane truck
nice build FGD
where did you get the checker plate for your truck's decking and steps from |
Re: Boom/crane truck
fred did you take the outriggers off was trying to get a look at what you have hidding under the sand paper..
|
Re: Boom/crane truck
really cool boom truck nice work
|
Re: Boom/crane truck
nice work, all you trucks look great
|
Re: Boom/crane truck
Freddy - best to drop some of the quick connects. On my IH I took a pc board to make a multi channel y adapter - didn't have room for those pesky long y adapter harnesses
Gonna fit an MFU? |
Re: Boom/crane truck
Thanks Guys!
Brel,the plate is from PMD,They'll be on the venders forum very soon. Larry,you aint gunna see what's under the sand paper,unless you come here & I show you.:p:D Chris, Thanks for the advise. Managed to get a little done,the out riggers work via the motor. Still need to make some changes.But,for just putting together,I'm not going to complain.At least it's only small changes I need to make. Here's a quick vid of the movement of the out riggers.Not using the radio,just touching the wires together. http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics5063.jpg Now the next vid is done via the radio. Don't have the rest of the hydraulic parts yet,so can't raise the boom yet.But! The rest works! http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics5064.jpg Every thing needs grease,but not till after it is painted. Man,git the hydraulics workin! & I'm not going to know how to act.:cool: Thanks for takin a look! FGD |
Re: Boom/crane truck
see I knew you could make it all work :D
|
Re: Boom/crane truck
Hi Freddy, what size wheels with hubs.
I'm looking for 2 3/4. Any good place to look. texken |
Re: Boom/crane truck
Is there anything u can't build pops. Nice work on the outriggers.
|
Re: Boom/crane truck
Texken,try PMD.480-655-7950.
Thanks guys! Lift test! http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics5066.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics5065.jpg Thanks for lookin! FGD |
Re: Boom/crane truck
easy as pie!
|
Re: Boom/crane truck
those outriggers on neat Freddy. @We just finished hooking hydraulic lines to ours toady on the 60 Ton. Gotta put the arms in and feet on tomorrow and hope to have most of the hydraulics running. Got about 40 gallons in it now. Prolly gonna take another 50 at least. Now I just have to remember to take my camera with me next time.
|
Re: Boom/crane truck
I have been using my Bees Wax with my scroll saw, and man does it make a difference. I wished I would have remembered this from the beginning. Thanks FGD, keep up the great work!!!
|
Re: Boom/crane truck
Thats an awesome boom truck Freddy! It seems to have no problem at all yanking that weight around. I'd be interested in seeing what it can do with the boom sucked in and raised all the way, once you get the hydrauilics installed, thats where you get your max chart.
|
Re: Boom/crane truck
Freddy -a little tweaking and it'l be smooth as silk
