Re: Bucyrus 495 hr

I think shovels and draglines use the same method. A series of clamps on each side of the drums. Look on threads on this forum and find interior views of draglines and look for close ups of the drums...

Re: DRAGLINE FOR SALE-VERY CHEAP

Dragline has found a new home right here in Alabama. Looks like we will have a new young dragline operator in training.

Re: DRAGLINE FOR SALE-VERY CHEAP

Hey Jim-Steve probably would not want this in his trailer. Next to his masterpiece my model would look like something built in a junk yard by a 10-year old. My drag does not have a walking system b/c...

Re: DRAGLINE FOR SALE-VERY CHEAP

Hi frizzen-all you have to do is plug it into the wall. All motors have power supplies in the control box that regulates everything to 12 volts DC and low amps. I did that for safety.

Hi Dan-great hearing from you. The last time I read about your dozer you were giving up on the gas engine and going to electric power. Did that happen? I have trouble logging on here but I still look...

DRAGLINE FOR SALE-VERY CHEAP

I have a model dragline that I no longer have a use for and I will GIVE it to someone who is willing to come to my house and pick it up. It is NOT a scale model, just something I made to play with my...

Re: P&H 2800 Electric Rope Shovel

Tyler-that looks great! Your dipper door looks like it is heavy enough to latch itself. The machine must have been made by someone who knows these shovels very well.

Re: P&H 2800 Electric Rope Shovel

Tyler-Could you please post some close-up pictures of you dipper and door. I think I have some more build pictures of my shovel on a flash drive if I can find it.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline

Re: P&H 2800 Electric Rope Shovel

Those joysticks you have will work but I think it will be complicated. 9W may be able to walk you thru this since he has a real set of controls working his model dragline.

Re: Best way to figure out motors and gear reductions

9w is correct but he is a professional machinist and doing things like tapered drums was way above my skill level. My shovel model was small so I too had small drums but I used 3/32" black nylon rope...

Re: Best way to figure out motors and gear reductions

I like the shovel you have started (inherited). Shovels are one of my main interest. You just have to do a little math and use common sense when figuring speed. I would start by dragging a pc. of...

Re: Great Dane excavating co.

I like the cat video-do you have any video of your trommel working at Cabin Fever? Surely at this fantastic event someone has more video than what has been posted.

Site Problems

For me the htpps works as far as quick loading but when I login and go to a thread I click it I am automatically logged out. Does anyone else have this problem or know what I am doing wrong?

Re: Euclid R-62 dump truck

Great project-this will be fun to watch. Good to see scratch building happening again on this site. If this is any where near the quality of your cranes it will be spectacular!!

Re: Great Dane excavating co.

Wow cooper-great job. The machines look amazing. Are you selling one or was you just having so much fun building that you could not stop with one. :D Looking forward to the video.

Re: Great Dane excavating co.

Nice work Cooper-when I saw the first pics of the loader I thought it was huge but I didn't realize how big your truck was. Looks like they go together perfectly. Good job.
