Cat 340D Excavator build

[crueby]

Got the sprocket assembly for the chain drive started - using some .250 pitch chain and sprockets from Servo City for these, nice fine chain for small spaces but plenty strong. They sell the master links and link pin removal tool too. I am going to use the same chain for the track drives too. So far have the sprockets on hubs, next will make up a support to hold the sprockets. The output of each shaft will go to one of the cylinders on the main boom via a shaft with universal joints. The input will be from a gear motor onto one of the shafts. So, one motor will frive both cylinders at a matched speed and direction.
