Cable excavators of the 1940's and 50's

It has been a while since my last visit to the forum but I have not been completely idle. Just put up some pictures of how I made the drive tumblers. Couple more pics to follow shortly. Lot of time spent on doing three hook roller bogies which have still to be mounted. Latest job has been machining four swing/propel clutch housings together with their driving gear blanks. I hope it will not be too long before I can start cutting the teeth.

Sad news to start the year with the passing of Freddygeardrive. Far far to young and with all that talent. I'm sure he will be missed.
