Re: Great Dane excavating co.
 

Awsome ....the fine detail makes these models stand out ...nice ..How is the tapping going so far ..I have been doing quite a bit of 0-80 latley and it seems almost easier then the 2-56 and 4-40 ..Broke 2 2-56 on this my scraper build and one 1-72 ..2 of them were because I dropped them ..lol
I have to found some pretty good deals on Ebay for taps but should start looking for some good drill bits..my local suppler is charging over $5 a piece for the smaller bits ..they are good bits tho ..
Nice work buddy

If I would have planned ahead,,,,,,,, I wouldn't have to make simple tools like this!! Had to make an extension for drill bit and tap for holes along bed rails. Hand drilled:(. Haven't broken any bits or taps for a long time but most of the small ines I've broken have been from dropping them also!!! The first ring of bolts on the wheels are just for show, drilled a little under and just pressed them in. Every time I think I'm close to paint I realize another detail that would look good, feels like never ending!!

Like this hitch, have to tear the back end out to get in mill for cutting/tapping. Then thinking about small things like supports for wire to lights ect,,,, but I've learned if I don't do it now I don't do it. Still have lights for excavator laying around that I keep saying I'll get to!,,,,,,

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
 

I have done that, after thinking a few hours how on earth to reach such a spot and it took only minutes to make a simple extension.

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
 

Wow you got that together fast.

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
 

Got to McMaster.com for your drill bits. You can get cheap ones or get the better ones much cheaper than from anyone local.

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
 

Much better in quality too . I get mine in packs of 12 .

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
 

New gears arrived today, just in time for tear down for paint. Ihave 144:1 reduction and with these new gears I can change to 108:1 That might be a little closer to scale speed. Also can go to 81:1 (or 96:1) but I think that will drastically drop my torque and be too fast.

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
 

OK when did they change they're yellow again :confused: I notice 2 shades at Cat Monday but didn't think to ask .

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
 

I think they only have the two, the new yellow is more dark than the old. Probably been 10-12 years or more for the new paint.

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
 

One looks more mustardy
