This is the easy pack it up and go. I love this machine the cheapest operating cost ever made
Looks Great! Is your machine equipped with a manual gantry for the inner bail?
I wish it had the high gantry! Some times it has problems going back up after coming down in the negatives
Nice job, Dirtdozer. How many yard bucket does she have on her 1 1/2 ??
yes sir, its a little big for it but it handles it well.
Nice looking machine. The only thing better than a regular 98 is the pipeliner.
Here are a couple pictures of mine.
Nice Looking machine there Drag.liner looks like she has double grouser pads on ?? Did she come with thoses did u add them ???
Looks like an LS98PL "Pipeliner". They came from the factory like that and were intended for cross country pipeline work.
Tks, Buckethead. I think i would like those pads alot better than the smooth ones most older draglines seem to have, would seem to me that on wet clay the smooth pads might just be a problem ???
Those are Grousers right. They have a lubricated pin like on a Bulldozer. I have a NW model 6 that needs new track pins. I want to replace the cold rolled 1 3/8" pins with 1.5 pins. I think I will need a reamer. Does anyone know what type of a reamer to get and how much over 1.5 it needs to be? The pins are supposed to be hardened, but some one put cold rolled pins in my tracks.
Well I was thinking that the 1.25 yd was the problem, but if y'all are using 1.5 yds and say it handles it fine, I guess I need to start looking for a problem, inhaul clutch slips really easy
I built a jig to ream the pads I went 20 thousands over size and used a big milwaukee mag drill
