Re: 4 Hour Bruder Dozer

RCP57-nice work on the conversion. How did you possibly weld those 4-40 nuts? :eek: Did you have a jig? Did you consider using button head screws on the pads? Guess it really doesn"t matter though...

Re: Dragline Rebuild

You should build one. That's what I did after watching my grandson play in a dirt pile out behind my house. I thought we could have fun with the dragline together and we did for several years but now...

Re: Just what I like to see

Nice find steve-these are-2-very nice models. I am impressed that someone can build this small and keep that level of detail. I maybe could have done that 30-35 years ago but that is really good work.
