Default Re: Page 631 Walking Dragline

That looks like it should work Lorenzo. You may want to shorten the hoist chains above the spreader bar. Then adjust the dump rope length again. Did you try to dig any? then you will be able to fine tune the lengths so the bucket balances out with dirt inside. When I removed my temporary keyrings and replaced them with shackles like yours, The 3/4'' difference in drag chain length made the bucket dump totally different. Then I fooled with the dump length. When I get to the bucket again I need to make all the wedge fittings and then I'll be able to really fine tune it.
