Re: Prototype Cat Tractor and Road Groomer

You know what might look cool with this Tractor is a big water tank body.

Have it so you can groom and then spray water behind the fresh groomed road?

Re: Prototype Cat Tractor and Road Groomer

looking good. a suggestion is to add as much weight as you can so the blade and spikes dont dig in and stop it. Also rethink those plastic drive shafts. My experience with them in my Mack 6 wheel end...

Re: Moving KH Front Axle

I just losen the u bolts, slide the axel in front of the spring retaining rivet, then tighten it down. I also like to remove 1 or 2 front springs so that the axel can articulate better.

Re: styrene for loader bucket?

It would work to hold a load but I would be more worried about how it connects to the rest of the machine and the abuse it will see. When the bucket is digging into a pile the nose sides and back...
