No the tracks are for my dozer I am building but that build has come to a screeching halt till I find a set of the drive sprockets for the Stahl dozer or loader. I tried some sprockets from standard chain but I think it may be a metric pitch.:(

Wow - they are sharp! They look bigger - are they??

Re: CAT 988F Series II Wheel Loader
 

Thanks they are just a tad bigger to make the tires fit tight on the beads.

Have you done any work on the loader arm lift design? I just fabricated one on the track loader and spent all day adjusting it.

Re: CAT 988F Series II Wheel Loader
 

Thanks for the comments. Scott I should know tomorrow how it works but I am optimistic as I am copying the pivot points on the real machine. Here are some update pics from today's progress.
