The drums on the axles really add a lot. Looking good.

Yeah it is nice to have his help every now and then especially when it comes to tooling. He has helped me out a lot by giving me stuff out of his toolbox. We haven't spent much time on the machinery together though which is mostly my fault. He has offered but our schedules don't work out all that often and I'm really pig headed and want to figure stuff out on my own(usually the wrong way). I know that I'm weird but I like to be by myself a lot haha! He might come over this weekend though to help me build another hydraulic pump so that will be cool if he can... I need to finish the 630D....

I spent a little time here and there over the last few days and managed to get the rear suspension done. The leaves need some prettying up but I will do that later on when I finish the axles. I made up my own link bars and TIG'd them together. I then pressed the pins and rubber bushings(hose) in. It seems to flex nicely but not an unrealistic amount. At least I was finally able to see it roll back and forth on it's axles! Now comes the tricky part...finishing the gear train!

Thanks for looking!
