Original poster Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 This is great, thanks! I've got the crane sat in its box read yet o be built so will defiantly use this extension! Quote
Bonxy Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Does the medium motor handle that boom ok? I'm looking to extend my boom but was thinking of going with the large motor instead. Would there be a problem doing this? Quote
Jim Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Hi all, I've got the LFX file from a member of the french Technic Forum (www.techlug.fr) for an extended 42009 boom. But as the step order isn't very clear (I had to dismantle the boom two times to place the right parts), I've recreated the instructions with MLCAD, and here are the results: https://www.dropbox..../Boom 42009.mpd https://www.dropbox..../Boom 42009.pdf Feel free to build and give me information if the instructions contain any errors. Best Greetings Alex Alex, The link is not available anymore. Can you share the PDF again? Quote
ritztoys Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Jim, I saved the PDF at my BrickSafe folder, see here.............http://bricksafe.com/pages/ritztoys/Extended%20Boom%20BI I still have my MKII MISB yet, too many building projects............. Quote
Jim Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Sweet! Thanks a lot. I am gathering documentation and resources for a Ultimate 42009 with extended boom and SBrick Quote
afol1969 Posted July 23, 2014 Author Posted July 23, 2014 Alex, The link is not available anymore. Can you share the PDF again? Hi Jim, I've now all the instruction files on bricksafe. Because sometimes the dropbox links were broken or deleted. See here: http://www.bricksafe.com/files/afol1969/Instructions/Boom%2042009.mpd http://www.bricksafe.com/files/afol1969/Instructions/Boom%2042009.pdf Note: The link for the instructions is also in my signature. Greetings Alex Quote
h5djr Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Is their a complete parts list or better still an 'extra parts required other than the 42009 kit" available. I've downloaded the instructions but need a parts lists. Many thanks Quote
h5djr Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Further to my earlier post I realise there are PDF files showing the parts and the quantity required but what I am really looking for is a BSX file. Quote
stephpar Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Hi there, Just respectfully following up with the previous request for a Boom parts list that can be loaded into bricklink or brickstore. Being a newbie to purchasing parts, trying to figure out the necessary parts from the pictures in the instructions allows for way too much possibility for me messing it up ;) Thanks to everyone.

keithleon Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Hi , I had just complete the boom , but retracting the 3rd stage boom it's not smooth , does anyone knows is there any instructions for how to made the recovery cable ? Thanks Quote
kisper Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 HELP!!! needed : I finally got my extended boom fixed and mounted to the original body of 42009 with a single L motor. I find that the LAs can't hold the weight of the boom compared to the original boom. What can I do ? Quote
afol1969 Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) @keithlon: Use a finer string, for ex. in nylon. @kisper: Check the gear placements in the construction. I've built gerger's crane with a heavier and longer boom, and I haven't any problem. And control your actuator functions. Greetings Alex Edited January 3, 2015 by afol1969 Quote
PauloS Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Hello everyone. The 42009 crane is built and operating. Now I would like to make the following MODS: - Jurgens Ultimate 42009. I think I have all the information I need. - Afol1969's Extended Boom. Just got the pdf with the instructions but I do not have the list only with the new parts, do not even know if there are other files to help. I would like to order all the new parts at once, but I don’t have the BSX file list of new parts for the boom. Can anyone help me please? Thanks in advance. Quote
PauloS Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Hello everyone. I made a bsx file with extended boom extra parts, but 2 pieces do not appear in the db. 76019 - White - 1 Unit - Technic Gear 24 Tooth Clutch with DkGray Center 59443 - Black - 2 Unit - Technic Axle Joiner Inline Smooth How can I place these pieces in bsx file? Or, if someone chooses to update the bsx file is here: http://www.pjvision.net/LEGO42009/Extra%20Part%20List%20for%20Extended%20Boom%2042009.bsx I also made a PDF listing the extended boom extra numbered pieces: http://www.pjvision.net/LEGO42009/Extra%20Part%20List%20for%20Extended%20Boom%2042009.pdf PauloS Quote

Boom 42009.pdf PauloS Are you using brickstock now? Brickstore hasn't been updated in years and sometime last year it stopped getting database updates so I started running into pretty basic part problems. Brickstock is someone else carrying the torch so to speak and it works well (its basically the same just with the updates). The part numbers I see through brickstock are 60c01 for the clutch and 6538c for the joiner. Quote

m_gatrell Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Hello all - i am having trouble getting the string in the right position on the boom (in order to make then 3rd element extend at the same time as the other two which is done with the RC). The photographs on the instructions are (for me) not that clear and I cannot get it to work ... any advice would be much appreciated !!! /Matthew Quote

First, slip the string through the gray pin on the bottom of the main boom and then run it up through the inside(as indicated by dotted line). Now run that string through the middle hole in the lower panels of the second tier boom, from back to front and loop it under the bushings(or whatever you are using here). Now tie the end off on the third tier boom. All of the sections should now be connected by the string and you can start inserting them. Once they are all stored inside one another, make a large knot on the underside of the main boom where the small gray pin is(where you first started) so that the string cannot slip through. It sounds terribly confusing probably Edited April 30, 2017 by therealjustin Quote
m_gatrell Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 @therealjustin - thank you, thank you, thank you! Easier than I thought (it always is!). /Matthew Quote
Trable Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Hello, i will build the crane 42009 xxl boom max. But i will not sale, i will self build. can you send me the build instructions for all. please. Thank you Quote
Willem008NL Posted November 10, 2024 Posted November 10, 2024 On 12/12/2013 at 3:26 AM, therealjustin said: I tried a few different ideas today and found that if the cable is thin enough, you can add a return cable beneath section 2. I added a pulley to the rear of section 2 similar to the front but without the 3L axle and half bushings. Instead I used a frictionless tan pin. Tie a cable to the end of section 3(same spot as the other cable is attached) and run it through section 2(not through the 5x11 panel holes!). Next bring the cable underneath section 2 and dangle it in front of section 1. Insert all sections as they would be if the arm were retracted and secure the cable with a pin. It works perfectly! There is little friction between the cable and smooth plastic panels so I don't think this would cause any problems unless you use the crane daily, of course. Now the boom can retract without the need for gravity. Can you upload a picture of the contraption like you did on the modified boom? I dont understand the way you explained it :( Quote
