Hi all, Again a new model from my side. Allthough I built this model somewhere at the end of 2005 I now add it to my website. Taking pictures of models always take more time than expected and I also wanted an extra tractor to carry. Yes, it's an old (...)

I agree! A really big Lego Technic model in the price range of $200 - $500 would be awesome. (17 years ago, 29-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

I also noticed that clutch gear was rubbing on the beam, but I found that the radial pattern wasn't as bad as the text side. I just pushed it a tiny bit away from the beam and it seems to be working fine. The only mod I've made so far was switching (...) (17 years ago, 29-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic)

The tolerances seem slightly off too, some of the longer studless beams take a lot of force to get the (...) (17 years ago, 29-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) I didn't notice any trouble, but it's cool that you've already started modding it. I did get a damaged piece- a 3L technic pin was useless. Lucky I have spares! (17 years ago, 29-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

I've had this set for 3 days now, and on my first build lifting the blade was very erratic, with a lot of stopping and starting. I looked at the <link(URL) offered on the Lego site, but that wasn't an issue. I've just rebuilt it with a fix of my (...) (17 years ago, 29-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

No shortage of crane options. I like that :-) How about a large pedestal-mounted crane? (2 URLs) Now I'm biased because I built one :-) (URL) But this sort of model lends itself well to RC'ing, particularly with a 4-function control (i.e. just like (...)

(...) Thats a nice walker. Great job, now I want to place a brickshelf order so i can get more 7L axles. :) May I ask why you went with a longer axle at the "front" of the leg? As opposed to making it a "square" design. Also, great idea on the IR (...) (17 years ago, 23-Oct-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic)
