Default Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)

Nope, the bucket was still in the air. I've watched from 1:46 to 1:50 many times trying to figure out what it was that kept it from going over .... I think it was nothing but dumb luck!

What a wreck if it had gone over... that top is fiberglass and the added accessories - dual screen, air cleaners & exhaust tip are cast in resin, they would have shattered! Also, that vertical spin motor drive, could have done serious damage to that component too.

Stupid Stupid Stupid!!!

That undercarriage is all 5mm steel and is more than half the weight of the entire model.

I've had this happen a few of times in my cat 307 . What happens , is if the surface is uneven under the tracks 1 side will be in the air . As you swing to the side in the air it'll give a sharp jolt as seen in the vid . Watch the track frame as you swing closely , it took me a few times to see it . It raises your hair a lil when it happens .
