To solve the problem of clocking those fittings a very thin adjustment nut would solve the problem.

I agree joe and he certainly knows how to use it!!! I am thinking this machine will be heavy enough to do some serious digging. Nice work!!

The advantage of cutting parts on the waterjet table was very handy....but at the moment both my tables are in storage...long story...never team up with a big company, it seems the bigger the outfit the harder it is to find the right people to manage it, which creates a lack of direction or in this case a change in direction, so for now the machines are in storage. That would be the short and not so sweet version of the story...lol....but hey such is life.

So.....I'll be a bandsawing, drilling, milling, zip cutting, grinding machine for the rest of this build ...or maybe I'll just get someone else to cut the parts!?

When this pin is installed in the track frame it holdes the idler back making it easier to remove the tracks without taking them apart.

Thanks guys!!!

If I ever get this thing finished it should be a good match to load the 777, may need to build a bigger truck....lol

This build will most likely end up being two builds.....first the front shovel and then eventually into an excavator as well....that way you could change from one to the other when needed or when you get sick of just digging "up" you could switch it out and then dig down instead...lol...

I got out my decoder wheel again. He's asking if you're left handed I think. Probably because the nuts are all on the left if you are facing the bucket I'm guessing.lol

That sounds like a good guess Reg, I've looked over the photos trying to figure it out, our daughters a south paw.

That was my guess too......just can't figure out how it applies here, you might be right Reg...the "nut" is on the left side...lol
Or it could be because all the pics are from the same angle, the reason for that is because there is normally a mess of shoes etc off to the right side of the work bench and would rather not have that in the pics!
Or it could be because he thinks I build stuff backwards from everyone else!
So the answer is I'm right handed, the pics are all from the same angle for a reason.......and yes I am a bit of a backwards nut!!

Very intuitive of you again Reg! yes, it was all the nuts in the bucket on the left that made me question.

I never heard that term myself until just a couple yrs ago when my neighbor, who is left handed, said it. My older sister is the only one in our immediate family left handed and I'm somewhat ambidextrous myself.
