kukudo 15sbw
They are built along the line of Cat 435's and 463's but with hydraulic rather than cable control. Not a great deal to go wrong and they are quite well built. You can probably source spares for them from your Komatsu dealer as Kokudo manufactured them for Komatsu for a while -
613 chains derailing
There is also another thing that can send the chain off. The idler sprocket on the side opposite the elevator motor has a large bearing in it which must be lubricated periodically. Because its up high, many operators ignore/forget to pump some grease in and the bearing collapses. This will... -
Early motor scraper
I think its one of Austin-Westerns scrapers from the late 30s/early 40s. They had an engine in the rear to power the hydraulic system as most track tractors of the period weren't equipped for the large pump required. -
1/25-1/24 metal dozer tracks
Yep, a lot of work went into creating that replica. I picked it up at a swapmeet over 10 years ago with the idea of turning it into a push cat. It got put aside in favor of other projects and it wasn't till a freind in Oregon suggested about changing it from powershift to direct drive that the...- WabcoMan

1/25-1/24 metal dozer tracks
Here is my AMT D8H with the brass tracks. It has been converted to a direct drive 36A and is all set up to tow a scraper with a Cat No.29 on the back (usually pulls a 1st Gear Cat 491 but I'm working on a No.80) The ebay seller of the brass tracks went under the name of stancillp and he is still...- WabcoMan

1/25-1/24 metal dozer tracks
I have used the Sherwood tracks a few times now but not on the AMT model. As mentioned in my earlier post, the Sherwood tracks were intended for the NZG RD8 and they could end up being a little bit short for the AMT model which has a longer track frame. The rails are also a bit deeper which...- WabcoMan

1/25-1/24 metal dozer tracks
Those tracks were made by Sherwood models in Canada. They were offered with some of the many conversions kits he manufactured, mostly for the 1:25th NZG Cat RD8 & RD7's. Unfortunately he has gone out of business and I am unsure where the dies went. There was also a guy offering some really...- WabcoMan

Old pic and some general questions on scrapers
Nice spec sheet Kelly. The TS260 in the photos is obviously earlier than a 1962 going from your spec sheet. I'm picking its probably from about 1957 as it still has the really old aircleaner on it and no reinforcing bars on the radiator guard. Nice to see the old girl still in one piece and... -
Terex 82-80 Euclid TC012 wanted
Another of Johnson's scrub roller conversions, this time on a Euclid C-6. Note the additional height on the grousers achieved by welding extra bar on, and the winch setup. Must have been real fun sitting on top of that 6-71 !! -

Terex Scrapers in New Zealand
Hi Pronto, They appear to be quite well looked after units. If you can get me a serial number (it will start 33TOT-----) I can tell you who they were originally delivered to -
Terex 82-80 Euclid TC012 wanted
Earthking, 68M, D6 Merv, There are only two TC-12's left - the one that came from Ohai (Colliss') and is currently under restoration, and the other one is owned by a Richard Hannon in Hautapu, Waikato This is the one that desperately needs saving as it is stored out in the open and used as a... -
Euclid TDT 14 scraper
Diggerdozer, You have found an SS-12, B14FDT-B1SH This indeed is a British variant - you could get them with a Rolls-Royce C6NFl, Cummins (B13FDT) both around 180hp. Euclid (GB) exported heaps to the "colonies" during the 50s and early 1960s. There is also an earlier version of it, the... -
Here's a shot of my AMT Cat D8 model
That old AMT model is a good build. I picked one up half built at a swapmeet 10 years ago and "de-constructed" it. Was going to build it as a push tractor but the modelling bug took over and here is the result - a direct drive D8H 36A. Lots of work went into this beast- WabcoMan

Historic NZ Earthmoving Projects
Contraman, You certainly had a good teacher in Ken Anderson. Incredibly patient and a great diagnostic brain. Did you know Jack Carrol who took over from Ray Robinson ?
