Cat 374 Excavator build

Did a little bit more , Started the bucket and the engine cover . I am maybe an idiot , or just a cheapskate I think 2 Jung pumps will cost too much as so far i have made what i have , using materials i have had for years and only spent money on a few motors and some fittings so far .
Any way back to my "cheap " idea . I have been thinking of modifying a motorbike engine oil pump , But i will start experimenting tomorrow - the theory ( in my mind at least ) says it should be doable ,, we will see . I will let you all know how that goes
