Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
I have to agree with everyone. Everything you make is a work of art. Way beyond anything I have made or hope to make. I am humbled by your skills.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Amazing work steve!! That looks like a really tough pc. to make. I'm glad it's you instead of me doing that. I never really understood how the point sheave could swivel from side to side until I saw these pictures. Now it makes sense.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Many thanks you guys. I've been waiting a long time to make this piece. The drawing in the parts book I designed it from has really good details of it. I think I'm pretty close. The only other alternative is to go climb the boom on the real machine and measure.
Next step is to work on the sheave and front bearing block similar to the rear one only the top is chopped off some. |

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Thats interesting how it has the sheave trunion mounted. I guess you have to worry about side loading alot more in a drag line than you do in a crane. Your machining skills are excellent. I'd love to see this thing in person sometime.

http://www.youtube.com/user/bennettshovel I talked him into putting his mining videos on youtube a couple years ago. Watch one of his more recent ones with the Marion 7820. That operator is already swinging just before he pulls the bucket out of the cut. The bucket is practically behind the boom tip most of the time. That machine has I think, a 300' boom on it with a 40cy bucket installed. This is why you want the point to swivel. |

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Another few hours. I still need to pocket out the spokes on the sheave but I have my mill tied up with a job.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
WOW looking good, Must be a thing about Guys named Steve and machining ability.
I'm jealous, sure wish I could do that... Should have actually went to my metal working class in high school. This is a very impressive machine Steve, good work.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
More impressive machine work from a master. I know what you mean about using whatever works. I very seldom use a boring bar unless I need to go very deep. 2 flute end mill works very nice as a boring bar. Maybe I should be quiet Giving away secrets!!!
