For years I've received requests for instructions for my Demag AC50-1 All Terrain Crane lego model, and finally they are here!
The instructions are professionally rendered by Technic mastermind Eric Albrecht, and are available at Rebrickable for the special price of $15, or download here for $18.
Richard Brown improved the original CAD file from this website. Then it was updated to use Power Functions I/R receivers and modern Lego parts by Chase Horman. The only unofficial parts are the fully lego compatible Firgelli Linear Actuator that can be bought here. You'll also need an NXT to Power Functions cable.
This is an advanced model, and the electric wiring is quite challenging. If required, please refer to Eric Albrecht's photos of the build for guidance.

The instructions for the updated and improved version of my Skid Steer Loader are now available for download as a high quality PDF document.
Rendered by Technic mastermind Eric Albrecht to professional standards, these include an entire chapter where I reveal the building secrets of packing so many functions into such a small space, brand new photos of the updated model, and photos and background information on the real loader.
They also include instructions for the controller and pneumatic compressor, and as a bonus, you'll find instructions for an alternative working attachment, allowing you to swap out the digger bucket for a pneumatic grabber - amazing value for only only $12

Wow. The most complicated official sets are reduced to simple starter
sets by this creation. This thing is marvellous, both in terms of functions and looks
~ Rijk van Voorst
I must say they are SUPERB. The 164 pages are extremely well done and full of background information about the real equipment, and the model. The images are laid out just like official Lego building instructions
~ David Luders
The complexity of this model has to be seen (built) to be believed. The quality and clarity of the steps is excellent. I think they're a bargain. A welcome step-up from standard Lego instructions
~ Richard Brown
I have never seen the LEGO system pushed so far beyond what I thought were its limits
~ Sariel
The instructions are on a par with those created by LEGO, so constructing it should be straightforward enough once you've mustered up the required parts, most of which are commonplace
~ Huw Millington, admin of Brickset
The instructions themselves look very professional, and the background information makes them even better
~ Rijk van Voorst
A low resolution preview with parts inventory is available here in Adobe Acrobat PDF format.
For the full version, there is a small charge of to cover the considerable time and effort invested in creating them. As a bonus, I've included 40 pages of photos and background information about the real excavator and the incredible building techniques I used to make it in Lego. Download your copy here for only $20
