Dragline Crawler Build

Tom,

If I don't know for sure on the O rings. My master plan is simple pulleys and O rings just until I get the pads working the way they should/need to. Then convert from O rings to that small plastick Chain and sprockets. I have some steel roller chain but I think it is too big to look or function well and I think plastic would probably work okay as long as the pads and tumblers are working right.

I need to put the RT back on the mill and make some more tumblers. I don't have a combination that works to my satisfaction yet.

Got the top plate split so I could mount both motors. Ended up making new smaller drive pulleys just cause they would fit better and the speed reduction will be good. Still haven't made a decision on how to make rollers or solid rails in order to help maintain alignment. I should get that started now, gona want to see if this thing is going to move on its own!
