Your a kind hearted soul RW..... Can't say what I would've done. :cop: there would be no second chance needless to say.:rolleyes:

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
 

the dozer weighs more then the mutt,
i would have tossed it in reverse

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
 

Yes, but my wife weighs more than the dozer,,,,,,, uhhh the 1:14 scale honey ;) you don't weigh as much as a d11!!!!

Goes like this in that scenario , dog pees on dozer, dozer runs over dog, wife sees dog get run over, dozer gets run over by wife!! Husband needs new home to rebuild dozer!!! Lol!!!

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
 

On the other hand at least it wasn't the big dog, (Great Dane). That would have been a torrential downpour!!!! Total flood reclamation project!!!

Re: Great Dane excavating co.

It's been a while since the zoo has had an appearance here!! All three "big" dogs!! The little shyt thinks he is a big dog, they are waiting for dinner , or my leg!?!

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
 

Where's Napoleon and the cat ? Mike. My wife agrees with Bigford put in reverse keep the big ones !

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
 

reverse would have been a bad idea. LOL
we have two rotties and a british bull dog, lets just say the bigger the dog the bigger the brain.
my wife may disagree due to the fact that the bull dog is hers but heres some examples.
example 1: my rotties have never run into a closed ranch slider door...
example 2: when leaping out of car my rotties have never landed on their face...

cheers andy

my doberman wanted to go for a
truck ride so opened the door on my
k5 blazer and jumped right into the quarter
panel head folded under his chest and flat out
cold.

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
 

Lol! I had a Dane run full blast into a sliding glass door, almost knocked him out , definately stung him!! I never have seen glass flex and bow like that door did!! Don't know how it didn't break. The glass or his neck !! And almost had one dog remove his lower jaw from his head by running in woods with a long log in his mouth, tried to thread the needle between two trees!!! He found out it didn't work!!! Lol!!!

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
 

Almost done with another access road. Goes from top of lower bank to river. The pic doesn't look steep but the steps in foreground show steepness of bank. Lots of finger roots to bust, had to use the small hatchet on some.

And shortly after running excavator a pin broke in gear head on tracks. Was using excavator to chew through roots on bank then using dozer to push level road surface. The original drive system for the 4200 is a lot slower than the "upgrade" system but stronger in my opinion. Not worth the $300 if anyone interested.

Ok so tires were a limiting factor in what size haul truck can be made, and I am also limited if I can't figure out how to make telescopic cylinders. I'm making on out of brass first. Figure I can solder ends easier than brazing stainless. And brass is way easier to machine for me than stainless. If I can make these work I'm going to try and make the finished cylinders out of 416 stainless and solder/braze parts together. Pics above are a start, I have to make a small hole in first stage to allow oil to fill inner chamber on stage two. So these are in theory going to be very similar to the real deal multi stage hydraulic cylinders.

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
 

Cooper your drawing of the cylinder shows a lower and an upper port why? If you are going for a telescoping cylinder you only need one port. As for your cylinders you don't need a hole on the stage bottom you just need the tube and the seals to keep the oil in the cylinders. Your picture shows a bleeder on the top stage and that is good but not really need for what you are going to do. You will need o rings to seal the stages and to be guides. Hope I have helped it has always been my intentions to build a multi stage cylinder but that is as far as I got. Ed
