LR634 is HERE!!!!! Tracked loader

[avel]

While waiting for the Sabertooth 2x12 I did some painting.

Too lazy to disconnect the hydraulics.



Cut down the steel insert/divider thingy. Notch is for hydraulic tank breather hoses to come up through. Painted with this rubber stuff by Rust-Oleum, the red is just some permanent marker that was on there.



Painted the tracks with a Metallic Dark Steel color by Rust-Oleum, looked cheap. Later sprayed with same gray as body, mostly on the track pads. Replaced the lost E clips.



Started to drill out the back end ventilation slats, then stopped and glued some styrene from a "For Sale" sign to reinforce the area.





The tools I used. I run the Dremel at the lowest speed and stop the chuck from rotating with my finger so that I don't put holes where I don't want them. Then I thread the saw blade through and cut the slot out. Then finish up with the knife, file, and sanding stick.



The yellow paint is put on really thick so I might strip it a little before spraying this area gray when I am done with all the work.



All paint was Rust-Oleum 2X spray cans, Sun Yellow, and some kind of gray.
