Thanks

I'm using 210:1 on the boom and 100:1 on the bucket. Both are 6v.

Happy New Year to you as well Mike.


Well, I think the buckets are nearly finished. I welded on all the mounts and gave them all a test fit.

I just held them in the vice on my mill and manually machined them. It took a while.lol

It's not so bad when you are just doing it for yourself. I have had a few requests to make these buckets again but it really isn't cost effective for me or the customer when I am hand machining each tooth.lol It's much cheaper to buy a mass produced bucket from Magom HRC or do what you are doing and make your own. I would need to charge $250+ for a bucket and no one will want to pay that because there are cheaper alternatives.

Keep up the great work on your conversion!

Hi there,
I hope it is ok to post as form old from 2011.
What a great build. Iam going to do the same. I realise someone already asked the question. But iam looking at the Actuators but cant seem to find those ones can you please direct me to the site that you bought from. I found this site http://www.firgelli.com/L12_R_Linear...ol_p/l12-r.htm but can't find those sizes you stated. Greatly appreciated Brina
