Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

thanks Lou , that rings a bell :)

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

So you custom fabbed that brass tubing and holders, eh? Looks great! :cool:

Are you changing the tires on the adt for better looks or are the mammoth tires giving you trouble?

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Thanks joe ..I found that making bushings drilled to the size of the tubing worked fairly well ..I had some 3mm threaded fittings so i tapped the the ends and soldered the bushings to the tubing ...I noticed that those european fellas building their vario machines are doing tubing as well...Did your machine come with that stuff or are you going to have to build that yourself.?
The mamoth tires are working great..Im thinking the other tires may add a bit more scale and a little more tracttion.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Lou I went in that web site and the only tire I could find was 120 mm tall I would like a set for my Komatsu wheel loader to get it taller so I can load my dump trailer and the 130 mm would help. Is there a part number for them? Ed

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Lou, That shovel looks good, a little paint and its time to go-ah-loggin. Nice work. Fred

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Looking really good Lou. Can't wait to see it lifting and swinging some logs. His next job is to put those big arse tires on the ADT. Let me tell you guys they are something else when you hold one in your hand.

Fred still adding a bit more detail and hope it warms up to paint..thanks

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Lou thank you for the information I appreciate it. I think I will give them a call tomorrow and see if they have a tire that would fit the bill for me or maybe they can tell me were to get one. Ed

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

Looks good Lou, I've not been around that configuration with the crowd cylinder on the bottom side like that, does it have as much power as the other way? Are you using the Jung pump on that rig?

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment

The needed power on the crowd (or the stick, as I like to call it) for the log loader would be opposite to a digger, you're pushing the stick out with a heavy load on the arm, to load the trk/trl... would be my guess for the cyl being underneath.
