VERY RARE northwest 100-DH !

[usediron]

hello everyone!

i am looking for years :oops: for informations about the northwest excavator 100DH! at this time my company only own a parts and manual operator, but these don't contain any drawings with dimensions.
So an american friend said me to try with this forum, and that is why i post this topic.

I am looking for anything about this machine:

--> especially copies of the main blueprints, i offer $1000 or more for them;
--> photos / or commercial brochures;
--> a magazine called "Material Handling Illustrated" was about this 100tons excavator , maybe someone has it?

Please do not hesitate to contact me, i am civil engineer in Europe and this machine could even interest the company for what i work, named soletanche-bachy. We use a koehring 1266D and a link belt 7400 for slurry walls in Asia, and we are very happy with their solidity!nothing to compare with the german excavators such as liebherr 984 or O&K.

thanks
abraham

Abraham,
I have also been looking looking for any information on the Northwest 100-DH excavator. My interest is in having a custom scale model built. I have located one that is still available for sale as a parts machine. Here's the companies information. Good luck as they did not answer my e-mail request to visit to take pictures. John Stepp

hello euc44

thanks for your post!
i already contacted this company but it appears that they don't reply, even to fax!
so i am still in the start case... i am trying to locate some blueprints from Terex but here again it seems really difficult as i don't know the right person who manage the archive...
I received a reply from Gerhart and they may could help me but nothing is really sure!
The only literatire that i own is two manuals parts and operator books but if these books give the cross section, there is absolutely none dimension!
I also have a commercial brochure plus the data condensed sheet, 4 pages of general dimensions but nothing really stunning... :oops:
Thanks to a sympathic member of this forum nw4ever, i hope to have some documents or articles concerning this machine.
I think that someone living in the USA would have more chance to locate some detailed drawings, as it is very difficult to phone directly to Terex Corp. for example.
Living in Paris actually, i have access to very good foundaries for lost wax brass/ bronze (used for art sculpture, schools...) and i know good friends who turn steel... but without enough documentation, i think that i will probably have to abandon this ambitious project :roll:
I planed to make several static 1/24th brass models of this machine (very accurate and detailed) and a personal 1/10th fully functional RC machine, i have some contacts with a german named LEIMBACH which provide mini hydraulic systems, i may comission him specific cylinders but i still don't have the dimensions of the machine so i am afraid to create a NON accurate machine...
Please if someone could indicate me the right persons to contact for the drawings/blueprints do not hesitate!
and if people may be interested in a 1/24th 100DH let me know!

hello everyone

if anybody have informations about the northwest 100DH that Par Industrial Corp owns, please let me know to the following email

a_braham@hotmail.fr

they don't reply to emails or phone calls...

i would be also more than happy if anybody could send me photos of this machine! anything will help!

finding the blueprints or even detailed drawings seems to be an utopia.

If you have access to past issues of the Crane Hotline there was one listed for sale in there about 6-8 months ago I believe it was. Tried to convince my customer to buy it since he wanted something BIG to put to work in a gravel pit but he had already made a commitment on a 190D NW. It may have been longer (time flies when your having fun), but I seem to remember seeing it back during the first part of the summer of 06. I don't know if they have online archives but the Hotline is published through Heartland Communications, so you ought to be able to do a search for heartland and find the site and possibly the machine from there. Good luck. Wayne
