Looks like a Galion Can't see the power unit. 10-20 McCormick Deering or Fordson. I probably have some sales literature on it.

I'm slowly working on a Caterpillar 15 Motor Patrol similar setup but it as a Cat 15 crawler tractor under it for power.

awesome collection Lou. and great fab work

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Lou- the grapple for the Juicer, is that going to be pneumatic or hydraulic? I was looking at the quick connect "T's" and wondering if I could get by with something similar for my grapple, I need it to be able to spin 360 deg., I'll be using an elec. motor to spin the grapple in the direction of choice, the cylinder with be hydraulic on mine.

Thanks Jason..Im pretty sure you will be pulling someting out of the bag in the near future with your build talent as well ...great to see you on board

Hey Ben The tees are rated for fairly high pressure as well..I wouldnt run 20 + bar through them though....I will be running hydraulic

Leimbach makes a component that you are looking for ...check this out

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Lou, great vids of running your equipment at that show. You have a fantastic fleet!

I really enjoyed running all of my equipment at a full scale show with Steve this summer. It is very rewarding to have groups of people outside our hobby mesmerized by our little creations.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

thats very nice lou

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Looking good Lou
Is it going to be a CAT grader ?

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Lou. you sly dog you. been wondering what you were upto. Man that is a really good start, I like it. Are you using a servo to steer with?

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

TnTLou-looks good! You really work fast. The gearmotors look like the shaft comes out the center. Is that right? If so could you say where you got them.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

ah ha! finally someone makes a grader!

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Tom..Those do have the offset shaft this place has some that are in the center with planetaries...hopefully they carry a lenght thats not too wide for your build http://www.anaheimautomation.com/pro...03&pt=t&cID=46

Thanks joe...yes im gone try and do servo steering ..I may get away with only a couple hydro functions

Greg im thinking CAT ...14 AWD

Thanks again every one
