Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

Thanks. I'm only running about 10 bar so will crank up and see how much diff. You are correct on 1.5mm fittings (well, Clippard fittings and lines are 1/16" ID but pretty much same thing). Looking forward to seeing the 850. Hope you will post some pics as you build.

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

You should take a few pictures of your 850 build then you could make a video of its first steps, and make that one video. that would be pretty cool. Do you plan to paint it Cat yellow or John Deere yellow and Grey? When do you think the 850 will be in the basement loading the Volvo A.D.T. or the Mammoth? Thanks!!!

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

Turning up the press will help to increase flow, but it also makes the motor work harder. Try to keep the cyls moving all the time, even just a hair so the oil flow is not all going thru the relief valve. Makes your batt last longer and keeps your oil cooler.

JD yellow & I thought it was gloss black, is it either or? :confused:
Don't know how long it will take to finnish. I think I have everything.

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

I thought it was Grey i could be wrong. Good luck on the build.

Hi Joe,

YT changed the email notification method, you need to revisit your subscribed channels and click on the subscribe button again, this is turn shows another green box below, with the option to tick a box that sends you a mail every time that person uploads a video...

Hope that helps..

Elliot

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

Yeah, thx Elliot. I just saw that green box when I subscribed ihbuilder74's channel. That should fix it. ;)

Started priming metal parts on the 850 last nite. I was watching vids of the 1:1 850 & I'm uncertain if the undercarriage & arms are gloss or satin black. Anybody know?

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

I agree!!! only time video makes it to photobucket is when im desperate lol


The youtube subscription thing is just a JOKE! sometimes i get pages of new videos, some new videos for some guys im subbed to doesnt show up at all!

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

Oh yeah...batteries. The Ertl test board has been hooked to a 12v car charger for last two years. :p I hear you on working the motor...you can really hear it labor when all the hydros are idle.

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

Joe the John Deere colors for the excavator are Construction Yellow # TY 25627 and Construction Charcoal # TY 25661 I got 2 spray cans from a Deere dealer today and these are the colors and the numbers on the cans. Ed

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

The construction charcaol Is the exact colour I used on my 2554 LL Joe Ed is Bang on ...I have An ertle 1/50 2954 that has A black boom and undercarrage but im not sure if they got their colour right because I have seen quite a few of these machines but not with black...
Here is a few photos of the 850 in good light...Wow that thing huge It is going to daurf your other fleet.

Hey Joe
Not sure if you have seen this hammer, not sure if your still looking for one ?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqcYg...eature=related

Mog showed me that video a while back. fricking awesome! id love that terex next to it though.

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

Do you still have your Stahl TrackLoader?

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

Wow! Never woulda guessed that one! What next in the attachment world?
Later, dodlebug

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

I saw that when it was on his workbench... not alot of power & pretty slow. I've given up on the idea, even if I were successful at making one, I think the vibration over a long term would likely destroy the excav model.

Rctech9, yes I do. No it's not for sale.

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

LOL love that 'not for sale' bit :P

ya the vibrations, i wondered that myself. wondered how many hammers till either the tool falls apart or it hurts the pump or a line or a valve...

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

How about a ripper for the 850? If the 850 has enough stick breakout force your soil, it could work really well.

With regards to the breaker, what about a grinding wheel?

Like this

Do they make hydraulic motors small enough for such a tool?

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

Mr. "lilGiants"

Man, looks like a blast, killer rigs you got there! I wanted to ask, if you could keep only one rig, what would it be?;)

Justin,

They have motor's. Google translate not helping. F.Y.I. doodlebug

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

Yeah, I was gonna try a ripper on the 850. With the 80lbs weight & high working pressure, it might be effective... though this heavy clay sub soil is very hard.

I've given thought to a grinding head too, but trying to find a suitable electric motor with enough power, proper rpm and not too large in size has been difficult. I'd like to build a "terrain leveler" or "asphalt reclaimer" with a 3" dia drum. I was thinking I could ardox nails for replaceable teeth.

Damitz's hyd motor turns very slow, and extreme heat in the hyd oil system could be a problem. Chances of obtaining any parts from Damitz is very remote too; Lou, Greg & I have been waiting 3yrs this June for an order of a half dozen hyd pumps. :confused:

Justin, the short wheelbase 6wd white Globe has the most miles on it, it's the most diverse pulling 3 different trls: end dump, belly dump & lowboy. I could by with just that trk.

I've talk myself into finally building a decent sized garage this summer, a properly heated work area so I have somewhere to work during the winter with bigger better metal working tools. Bigger mill, lathe, chop saw, mig... build bigger better models in the future. It'll be great to have a heated room to thaw out my quad everyday too, as it gets full of frozen mud & ice during spring calving, can't be without that machine - not even for one day!

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

3 YEARS!! no way id let it go past 3 months!



Also, yay on a nice big garage :P make sure to have a nice sized area to start a model trucking club :P

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

I just ordered some valves and cylinders last week From TTM Function who get them from Leimbach and they will be shipped next week. Ed

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

We didn't pay anything, just requested the order.

Lots of room for a model trucking club..... of one. :D

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

LOL "of one" you know your gonna want to set up something like them germans have :P

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

CONGRATS Joe
I think that is great you are going to build a big garage. I have drawings that I made up for a bigger garage, still waiting for the big Lotto win before the ground breaking ceremony. It seems that they can never be big enough. It would be great to have a heated indoor construction area to run equipment in the winter months. Some clubs in Europe have sweet indoor area's.
Keep us posted on the GRAND OPENING DATE !

Hey joe check this vid out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNCHzZjlbSI&feature=sub
Kevin and scott got mentioned as well

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

Yeah, I'm a subscriber too, thanx Lou. :) And congrats to Kevin & Scott as well. :cool:

Did you notice that rebeljordan23 ripped off Kevin's videos for his channel uploads?

That boat in the snow??!!! That was KOOL!!! We just 6" of powder overnite, primetime for boating... who would've thunk it??!!!! :D

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

Its pretty amazing what some guys think up lol." Snow Boat" I posted a reply about rebeljordan23 not being the rightfull owner of the vid..well see if Bill will do some editing with the vid.

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

Joe I have had a few people use some of my vids on their utube channel but the always linked to my channel when watched ..This guy has blatently burned and reupload to his own channel...I was just reading the coyright link http://www.youtube.com/t/copyright_notice and looks like rules were broken if Kevin wants to pursue it.

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

atleast he cant get any money out of it.

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

Have you made any modifications to your loader? You typically run your equipment quite hard, and I'm a bit surprised if it's still all original.

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

I came across an individual a yr or so ago trying to copy my vids as his own, I sent him a nasty PM & alerted yt team for copy right infringement. The perp removed the vids from his channel before yt team intervened.

It's all original Emil. :)

What you see of it in the videos is how I use it, on a wood surface mostly. I never turn it sharp in the dirt, so the track chain never gets clogged/binding with dirt.

The only mod I have done to this looader has been loader arm extensions, added about 20mm so I could load my Tamiya trks. The extensions are not currently on the tl.

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

It's a good thing I documented some of my basement thread on Scale4x4 cause it sure is handy for a Record of Repairs. :D

July 09 was the last time I broke this driveshaft... sure is good to have 6wd in this trk, I was loaded half way up to the crusher when it was just the front axle pulling... well actually holding the trk/trl ----> NO RUN AWAY REVERSE CRASH!!!! http://www.modelltruck.net/images/smilies/mama.gif

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...1/IMG_0233.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...1/IMG_0232.jpg

During my search for the last new driveshaft I stumbled across when the Stahl adt went into service, Feb, 10... didn't quite make it a yr before coming back to the workbench for repairs, but it sure lasted a **** of alot longer than that piece of **** JUNK wedico 740!

Something wrong with the drive motor on the front axle, left side... I think it may have burnt out. The hyd pump has been leaking a little bit since new & dripping oil atop this motor. :( Leimbach's pump doesn't have a seal on the drive input shaft, relying solely on tight tolerances to keep the oil in. I've had a couple of pumps fail this way over the yrs.

A couple of teaser pics of my new basement bruiser. :D

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

AH HA! it lives!

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

That is a fine looking excavator Joe, keep the build photo's coming. As far as Liembach pumps, I know a fella who can put new seals ( 3 ) in those pumps and they no longer leak oil. I believe the total cost is $60. Sure beats the cost of buying a new one...

greg

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

Good info Greg and great to hear the problem solver is a fellow countryman. :cool:

I've been tinkering with the 850 and making good headway till I discovered a missing part. :( I also realized that the mechanical quick change for the bucket is an option, not part of the kit... my damage credit will cover that. :D

Reading Kalle's thread on Scale, he's burning thru a 6000mAh Lipo in about 25-30 minutes, a pretty power hungry model! I want to be able to power up my model with an outside power source, like a car battery, but the "endless" spin only has two paired terminals for the track motors.

So I ran three paired wires out the front of the bridge (idler wheels side).

Plug in this way, the tracks run on two different chs & the power comes from within the model.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...1/IMG_0234.jpg

Plug in this way, both tracks are the same ch & I connect to outside power source. The paired wires within the model will be disconnected from the esc, then plugged into the main switch. When I want to turn, use the arm to lift the front of tracks & activate the swing.

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

Well, felt like playing mechanic & I dug into the insides of the adt to retrieve the bad motor. Before cutting it loose from the wiring, I check to make sure that it was indeed getting power with a volt meter -> yep, motor is toast!

What a bugger fishing that out! Had to bend the metal cab to make room, likely be a great deal of aggravation getting the holes to line up again. :crazy: Only a few mm between the two motors, very tight area down there.

Now to find a replacement motor. What it says:

RS-385SH
RD445522
CHINA


Got an email from Vario Germany a few minutes ago that the parts on their way already, great service! http://www.scale4x4rc.org/forums/ima...ilies/nice.gif

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
 

Lol "china" there's your problem :P

prob gonna have to replace it with an identical motor to keep everything the same with the other motors.

Hey Joe you probably found something already but i did find this..I was also reading that they are used in hair dryers also
