Like I say, once she's up and running I'll get some better pics for ya.
I also sent the pics to my home computer and can send them to you from there when I get back at the end of the month.
Have a great day!
Mario
I'll PM you my email then you can send the pics there Big help on the z already .I have the top center-center right but the bottom is too short . Looks like a new to be made the 1 I have is too short . It was the only part that was distorted from what I had to go by .

Doesn't take you long to carve out parts anymore Steve.. must be a great level of satisfaction to do things quickly & correctly, eh?

YES it does , Joe I love learning new things before 3 years ago I never touched a mill in my life except for looking at them at the salvage yard / liquidater . I can't wait to get this going I also got 1 of my micro pumps figured out . to put in the pan the Jung is just to big for it (very little space ) So If my cylinders work out I'll be making up the 1's for the pan and dozer sometime after indy .

Gidday Steve.

Hey Mate, can't offer any advise though I can add to the list of many readers who have praised you on your efforts.
What a fantastic looking model and to see it comming together is a trip in itself.

Totally impressed of what can be made with the "Can Do Attitude"

Can imagine what the guys that work on or operate this machine would be thinking.

Awsome craftmanship Steve.

Shane.

ALMOST gotta figgure the mixing on the radidio and change out a leaky robbie valve head the tolorences on these things are pathetic , must be +/- .01 with a little tinkering you can get them to work right , except for the 1 where it leaked right out the rotor stem . they should be a running fit with no sidw to side play . I got bucket and steering werkin just waitin on the slow lathe guy to get my new rams for the lift cylinders done

werking!!! figured out the mixing just alittle reading of the manual pump is on my aux1(flaps)chl . I got the steering so that when you activate the steer servo the pump runs about 50% to werk the boom/bucket put the pump switch in mid position for about 50% for guts , switch in 3rd pos. As for the valves , they're like a HD gotta tweek them when they're new and after so many mi /hrs

thanks Aaron

to answer Mario's ? from the trailer build . I was digging pea gravel well except for the mixing thing with the radio . the pump would always go down to the steering settings and wouldn't have the hair to pick up a full bucket . So I just put the pump full on or full off then moved the coal pile twice till I blew the clipard cylinder I used for steering well It was leaking right off the bat but desided to leak alot more no vid will get 1 soon I hope right now I'm trying to make new steer cylinders and my own spool type valve . I hate these robbies it's not the style I hate just the tolerances are piss poor . you tighten them to eliminate the bypassing then you can't turn them . I had brass bushings (not oil lite )that I made for my axle shafts while waiting for bearings , well they started to sieze up so in went the bearings . easiest set of axles I worked on to date not to mention tough as carbide , so to speak
