Steve wasn't just looking at the paint job, the parts you have fabricated look like a factory built job. I never though a home brewed loader would looks so good. Again nice job!

Well that loader has certainly come a long way in the last yr! It's gonna be a treat to see in St Louis.

It occured to me just now that a possible filler to harden up your tires would be moisten sawdust! That would pack in real good, wouldn't be noisy & still give the tire reasonably good flex.

Default Re: 990 cat loader (Earl Shiebbed)

thanks guys it's far from perfect I still have to finish the new lift cylinders so I can get the proper dump hight . But with a lil ramp I can load the M75SX . The lil dirt bkts aren't a problem still have the cab , front fenders ,railings and lights and maybe a pair of scrapper forks for picking up vehicles

Joe , I got some expanding foam for auto body use but I need a special gun to use it which I haven't had time to get yet . But tonight , while loading the truck for work tomorrow , I saw a roll of left over sill sealer ( like foam expansion joint ) so far so good

Nice job, Steve. I wish I had your talent! The 990 looks really nice. It's really impressive to design and machine up a model like this. Just way cool, in my book. Something from raw materials, that ends up as functional, scale model. Worthy of some German forums, I think.

thanks Nate I think we'll get to the german level 1 day sooner then you think this hobby is still pretty new here . I've had some design issues through the process which I had to remake parts mostly do to not having a good reference for scaling . the 994 will be a walk in the park do to a lot of good straight on pics


Oh it feels good to have this running I just refilled the hydro tank with 10w and fired er up Runs much smoother then with ATF that I had in it for testing . I kinda cheated on the steering cylinders I got some 1250's from liembach .Hmm what's next to finish .

Looking just like the real thing Steve ...... Minus the stairs, railings and CAT logos. Air precleaners should be black eh.
So what is the GVW as it sits today??

I can visualize the finished model, so much better with the cab pieces added. That looks great. Hurry up and paint those parts up! Nice work. Just add all the details and that model is going to look like the real thing!
