Re: Warner & Swasey Gradall M-2460 (1/14)
Now that is a pretty cool looking machine, it would be perfect for loading one of these Linn dump trucks. I will need a truck to load after I finish the Gradall.
Hmm... :thinking: :D

Re: Warner & Swasey Gradall M-2460 (1/14)
It seems like cleaning ditches is a common use for gradalls. The first one I ever saw was digging out ditches, so as a kid I used to call them "ditch diggers" :p

Warner & Swasey Gradall M-2460 (1/14)
This is a build I have wanted to do for a while. I have always liked the unique design of gradall excavators and it's truck mounted. I love truck mounted earth movers :p
I picked the M-2460 because...

Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck
Nice, do you have any pictures you can share?
If I had the choice when I started my build, I would have used copper and brass. But at the time it would have been too expensive.
Also. I just...

Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck
I agree, and I have plans to make a 1960's dump truck to go with the crane after it done ;)
Yes. I'm going for something like this, but with the stripes.

Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck
A small bit of progress on the crane. I made this service hatch, I don't know what it's supposed access on the real machine but it should come in handy to access the winch motors or a battery.

Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck
I took this drawing and used the measurements at the top and did some quick scaling to get the dimension for the swing ring. It should be accurate if the drawing is to scale, all you have to do is...

Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck
Yes the plan is to use broaching to cut the swing gear. I only have a lathe so I'm going to use a profile tool in a boring bar holder and just slowly scrape away until I get to the right tooth depth...

Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck
The plan is to get the swing mechanism as close to the real machine as I can. So I'm going to machine a custom swing ring and cut internal gear teeth in to it just like the deal.

Re: Leds using a old servo board question
Micro servos can draw up to 400 ~ 450mA and standard servos can draw up to 2.5 ~ 3A when stalled. Most LEDs draw 20mA, so doing some math 400mA / 20 = 20 we can determine that a micro servo control...
