Default Re: Ny-Lint Mobile Dragline Conversion

Tom, thanks. The pulleys are not perfect but good enough for this crane and I'm always learning something new every time I turn something. I did the layout with dividers, so I mark half way around each side and then drill the last hole between the last two marks that never hit in exactly the correct spot. I have my eye on a rotary table!

I'm not exactly sure how long the boom is going to be. I think my extension is about 5" extra. I eyeballed it trying to make it look good when mounted on the crane. I think it will add a bit of use ability to the machine.

Not sure how I will attach the bracing. My initial thought was standard aluminum rivets but my angle is so narrow that even my smallest rivets are not going to work. I might just use some glue of some sort and try to wedge them in so they are tight.

Jim
