Wow it's been a long time since I've posted anything here! Lots of stuff going on but mostly for other people. I have spent some time playing lately and trying to build a conveyor...

Yes, I do build and sell the dump boxes. PM me if you would like more info.

Here is something I have been working on for myself lately. I hope to have it finished sometime this summer. Late 50's to mid 60's KW...

Cool build !

Unfortunately I don't have the option to send a PM. Seems like my account needs to be approved or something like that...

Thanks! I think you just need another post or so and then you can PM. Part of the forums anti spam stuff I think. You have to make a certain amount of posts before you can post pictures or send PM's.

Looking great! Nice to see your new build. Your welding and aluminum body work always looks great.

A question for RCP57

Hi really enjoying your builds, fine workmanship. I read in one of your posts that you welded the nuts for the pads on the tracks you built. I am impressed with your method, you mention making a jig, could you elaborate ? I don't have tig but I have a small mig (140 amp) I would like to try with small wire and low heat. Thanks for sharing your builds with us.

i have welded the nuts too by building the M90 backhoe: https://www.heavyequipmentforums.co...dtimer-collection-in-1-16&p=639978#post639978

Wow, I can't believe it's been over a year since I've posted in this thread. Many customer builds have come and gone in that time but not much has been done for myself. The jig was very simple. A small piece of flat bar that could be pinched in the vice with two bolts passing through it at the right width to hold the nuts in place on the chain. I used 4-40 nuts on them. It works OK but is difficult to get all of them perfectly straight. I have since bought some K1 chain for any future builds. It is very expensive but works better than welding the nuts on.

Thanks for the replies re track pads.

Boa tarde, eu sou do Brasil e estou tentando ver se algum dos meus amigos pode passar-me as medidas das válvulas para que eu possa fazê-los aqui. Obrigado.

Eu tenho trabalhado nas válvulas hidráulicas dos skidders no meu tempo livre. Espero que eles funcionem como deveriam

I'm sorry but I don't remember the size of the plugs. I built this several years ago and didn't have any plans or drawings. I just spaced things out so that the fittings were as close together as I could get. It is a large block using full size servos. It takes up a lot of space!

I like the track loader and the excavator I remember when you built the loader...still awesome work

I haven't posted on here in a long time. I have been working on this Hayes for quite a while whenever time permits in between customer builds. I think I finally have it nearly ready for paint.
