Re: Working on a model of a Lindeman crawler

With the weather getting warmer, I can now get back to work out in the garage and I built this stand to display the model next to my crawler at the tractor shows this year. https://images2.imgbox.com/cf/28/Ex8FYVGY_o.jpg The bottom of the base for the model has a pin fastened to it. https://images2....

Re: Working on a model of a Lindeman crawler

I have decided to do one more thing with the Lindeman model and put it in a display case. I'm thinking of figuring out a way to easily secure this display so someone can't just walk off with it and take it to the tractor shows with me when I show my crawler. https://images2.imgbox.com/c8/00/mduN9Q84...

Re: Working on a model of a Lindeman crawler

Thank you for the nice comment. .............................................................................................................. The loader is painted and mounted onto the model. The two photos of the actual crawler were taken before I put the decals on it. https://images2.imgbox.com/d...

Re: Working on a model of a Lindeman crawler

I cut out a piece of copper sheet and formed it around a piece of round brass to form The bucket. https://images2.imgbox.com/ab/17/JfznjUjs_o.jpg Soldering one of the sides onto the bucket. https://images2.imgbox.com/ea/aa/zhqet0g2_o.jpg Here is the finished bucket. https://images2.imgbox.com/3d/be/...

Re: Working on a model of a Lindeman crawler

The flat riser supports are cut out and soldered to the top of the curve on each loader tube. The three brackets are made up and soldered to the bucket control rocker bar. https://images2.imgbox.com/7b/32/TBtkvtri_o.jpg The support rods are soldered onto each of the loader tubes and the rocker bar i...

Re: Working with my Lindeman crawler

My daughter was down visiting me this last weekend and she took a short video of the crawler.
While we were doing this, it dawned on her that this crawler is only one year older then I am.

Re: Working on a model of a Lindeman crawler

I've started Building the frame for the loader. https://images2.imgbox.com/f5/c9/nfx4x7OE_o.jpg Checking the fit on the model. https://images2.imgbox.com/3d/5d/SBvjGntz_o.jpg The bucket is mounted on two flat steel bars that extend down from the ends of the loader frame. The upper part of these stee...

Re: Working on a model of a Lindeman crawler

The tank I built for holding the hydraulic oil is mounted underneath the crawler and it comes up along both sides of the tractor frame and in front of the front cross bar for the crawler tracks. This photo is looking inside the right track and down at the hydraulic tank. You can see the oil level ga...

Re: Working on a model of a Lindeman crawler

There is an angled brace on the inside curve of the lower part of the two upright frames. https://images2.imgbox.com/1e/fa/ooG8imuB_o.jpg These are the parts for those two braces for the model. The upper mounting brackets ( with two slots ) are also the mounting brackets for the hydraulic cylinders ...

Re: Working on a model of a Lindeman crawler

Lindeman used mounting blocks that had rubber bushings to attach the JD tractor motor unit to the two square crossbars that the track side frames fastened onto. While scrounging for parts to put my crawler together when I first got it, I was able to pick up some extra mounting blocks with the rubber...

Re: Working on a model of a Lindeman crawler

The offset pivot is fastened to the back of the model with a screw from the inside so I had to pull the model apart to be able to get to the mounting screw from the inside. https://images2.imgbox.com/33/17/FGqfj0V3_o.jpg The clutch linkage is painted and fastened to the crawler model. I have also ma...

Re: Working on a model of a Lindeman crawler

So far, the parts that I have been making are quite simple and easy to build. However, now the items that I need to make are going to be a lot more complex and a lot harder to build. One of the modifications that I made to my crawler was to change the drive clutch from being hand operated to making ...

Re: Working on a model of a Lindeman crawler

The model has the bump on the hood for the brush guard but it doesn't have the gas cap behind it. https://images2.imgbox.com/14/8d/Xi7H0UQt_o.jpg So I added a gas cap to my model. https://images2.imgbox.com/d3/52/Yv1SQsIV_o.jpg My crawler has a power take off shaft on the back and the model does not...
