Just too cool, Chris!I was wondering about the guy standing there on that gear... but that's the 'official' spot, eh? Seems like a pretty scary occupation, that!Great work, Chris!Kim
Chris...your hand powered viewing or the function of the boom slew drive is most impressive How many turns of chain are on the slew drive drum?Without going back so many pages, is the original slew drum just a smooth diameter, or does it have some form of longitudinal segmented or thread form to grip the slew chain? During a digging operation, do the loading's applied against the bucket ...to the boom ....be restrained directly by the tension of pay in/pay out of the hoist chain?Looking forward to continued watching ......

Excuse me Chris, if being simple but have you recessed drum into end plates or just nice snug fit? trying to see transition from end plates to drum.
