It looks great Keith! I'm glad you like the bucket. I'm sure you and Brian will get some good use out of them. It's interesting to see how many different ways there are to go about converting these. You have pretty much done exactly the opposite of everything I did or vice versa and yet the end result is nearly the same function wise. Thanks for posting some conversion pictures. How is the driveshaft supported in the center?

Yeah Reg, love the bucket. It's inspired me to add more aluminum, who knows I might keep going. The two driveshafts from the rears connect to a Axial trans mounted to the bottom of the rear frame, then a third shaft to the HPI gear reduction unit.

Question?

Will it have the needed weight to lift a full load in the bucket? Just something to think about. Even the real machines get light in the rear with a full scoop.

Thanks, yeah weight will not be a problem in the bucket. I'm building it basically the same as Brian's Snow White, with BB's in the tires and the batteries in the counterweight he has no problem lifting a full bucket of rubber or dirt. So I think I'll be ok in that area.
