With all the fine machinist work you've done to date KP, I think you should now build your own cylinders to compliment the model.

That boom looked so big , until I saw the pic of it attached. Really puts perspective on how monstrous this model is!!! Not saying it's is small but it looks small once it's mounted, in comparison to the base!! I think I see one of those hydraulic lifts in your future!! To work on this monster!! You are really doing a great job on the parts, nice clean lines, hidden welds, that lip on the box of the boom is really going to pay off in looks. Appreciate all the pics also, very much enjoy the building process and sharing of how you are doing the cuts!! Even if you would have cut them with a program it still is a lot of hard work!! Definately going to pay off in the end and show it off too!! You got me thinking about something to load the haul truck with, I was think big loader but having something heavy with the payout force like this may be better suited for me. ,,,, have truck need loader,, lol!!!

Thanks Joe...yes I have considered making cylinders....but at this point I think I will use the cheap air cylinders and just focus on getting this build functional. Once this model is actually finished I really can't see these air cylinders lasting very long, so I can see building some cylinders for this model happening in the future. But for now I really have to spend my time on getting it finished and hopefully functional!?😃

Lol....yup it looks big by itself but not so much when it's on the machine...there is one thing about face shovels that always seems strange... the fact that even the full scale machines don't seem to be to scale...lol...the boom and stick seem to small for the size of the buckets!!
Glad you like all the pics I posted...sometimes I wonder if anyone is really interested in seeing all the boring details of how this is being made, but hopefully it will help give ideas to others !!

There are no boring details in build threads!

Always interesting to see how people work things out. Some (if not most) of the build threads on here are way above my skill level, which makes it even more interesting. Already had some nice "so that's how they do that" moments while spending time on this forum.

So thank you very much for posting the pictures/explanation.

Stephan

I seem to be having trouble getting on here......and staying logged in.....very strange?? I keep getting logged off without actually logging out, and then can't seem to get back on. Same result on my phone and computer....let's see if this works for more than one try.....

Ok.....so I have started working on this build again......put grease in the gearboxes, threaded and welded the sprocket hubs and machined flats on the drive axles etc

Hope this works.....Lol!!!

It seems that in any build there are things that get left out and skipped because you want to fast forward to the next step....LOL.....only to have to come back and finish it later, one step forward two steps back!! Here are a few things that needed to get finished

Drilled and tapped holes to mount the sliders to the side frames.
( Want to make the sliders from black plastic....someday...later...maybe LOL )










Also needed to finish machining all the top roller brackets, then drill and tap the mount holes in the side frames. Still need to make the proper shafts for the rollers











Hope to get this moving around on its own soon !!

Looking good! I wish I had the skill, & machines to do projects like this. I've got so many ideas I'd love to try, but no way to attempt them.

Great to see you working on this again KP

...after the photobucket fiasco summer of '17, I thought maybe I'd never see this finished. You're making some great headway.

We've been having some issues with the forum since last spring with slow page loading & some members having trouble with log-in. Some of the members have figured it out, it's the url for the forum, you must add an s to the https://ect ...we can't seem to change that within our own settings to do that automatically.
