Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Looking good Lou.
I've sourced my screening drums from air filters of my 70hp Massey, for example. About 3.5 inch diameter for the inner screen, 6 inch for the outer.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
I originally found you guys on youtube. Your guys work is amazing! My grandpa worked for Weyerhauser for 40 years and my dad cut timber for 22 years before the timber industry really died a couple years ago. So of course I am into all the equiptment etc growing up in southwest Washington. I'm going to build a t-800 kinghauler with a removable bunks and trailer and a side dump. Perhaps we get together someday.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Thanks Jo..Us Courtenay Boys get together Quite often and Reg gets his occasional playing with us ..the more the merryer..If you make the island in the summer give us a holler
Neil thanks ..its good to be back on the tools and making progress almost every day..Ready to almost couple the belt together on the rear conveyor and see if that works .. Joe great tip on the sceens..I have some square mess screen in 1/4 and 5/8 im guessing ..queston you might know ...would it make much difference if the holes are round or square for pluging ..I saw some pretty slick setups on youtube ...for cleaning ..Rotory brushes along side ..Those Europeans sure are making some slick stuff these days |

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Thanks Mog ..Im just going to use a regular 1/16 strip of rubber and leaving the bruders as they are..well its functional and turning ok ..Using a 30 rpm servo city gear motor and that seems to be just right ..Rob tested how much current its drawing and it doing fine ..ran it for about an hour after fiddling with the tracking ..if you look closely i have adjustment on end rollers for both ends ...I use my little Poxom mini mill to make up the belt coupling and a short chunk of cable with a couple of wheel collers

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Conveyor belt turned out real good Lou. I really like the belt joiner and the tracking system that you made. Looks like it'll be ready for the Jan. show in Campbell river.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
anyone ever use a bicycle inner tube for this? i want to try it. i also found a air filter from the yard at work and tossed it in the fire pit, 2 screens were the product. free and looks like a good fit. i have several bicycle inner tubes to use. and pvc pipe galore. i am wondering if a towerpro mg995 servo continuous rotation will do the trick to spin it, or if i should use something else.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Good work on the scale trommel Lou.
The conveyers have always been the hang up for me to get anywhere with building one myself.. I like your splice. Did you mill slots in aluminum plate, then formed it? I have some belting, I tried to use tarp tape for the splice, but it kept stretching & loosing belt tension. I'm going to try your idea.. what thickness of plate did you use? How many ounces of gold did your father mine in his lifetime?

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Joe have you thought of using baler belt splicing? I have been thinking of building and using that for belt joints. Most of that style belting joint ca be made to suite any width.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Hello, I love the grapple and the thumbs on your equipment from the beginning of this thread. Very nice!. A grapple for one of my loaders and a thumb for my excavator is definitely a future addition for me.
Thanks for sharing, Eddie |
