Re: Great Dane excavating co.
I have been thinking about the same thing, adding springs to help with that first part of the lift. Nice to see someone else doing it.

Re: Mack and Pup
You have a lot packed in there. Looks nice, cool idea with the water tank. What kind of tires are on your drive axles?

The Orings kinda worked, in that I had to cut down the OD to fit into the grooves. On the lift pistons one of the sealing edges was torn out too. So the Quad or X rings...

Re: LR634 is HERE!!!!! Tracked loader
Espeefan, you were partially right. It did cause problems leaving the internal stop sleeve out. Now I can curl the bucket back more but this causes problems if I don't uncurl it a little when...

Re: LR634 is HERE!!!!! Tracked loader
I definitely will. I plan to have a video of it operating by 8pm Monday if the Orings arrive like they should. I brought in a bucket of dirt last week, so rain or shine I can test things out.

Re: LR634 is HERE!!!!! Tracked loader

Re: G,Day
Hello.
Are those flat deck trailers custom built, or are they two modified Tamiya flats?
Looking forward to watching your builds, especially since you used to drive the real things.
