Decided to make the pins for the fairlead sheaves. I got tired of looking at the 9/64'' drill bit and a broken 0-80 tap shoved into the holes holding them on.




Next I made the bracket for the arch that the dump rope attaches to. Got tired of the small hose clamp holding it on
















Ready to TIG weld onto the arch.

Thanks Brian, That little piece only took me most of the weekend to execute. still need a wedge socket made if time permits.
Yes, I'm counting down now. I better get my trailer ready. I need to make a check list for some loose ends on: the Drag,the Rocker, and I have another toy that should be ready if I can get a motor attached soon.

Thanks again you guys.
Tom, I got tired of all the drill bits and #5-40 socket head cap bolts.
Still need 9 more for the suspension and safety rope sheaves.

I took this interesting photo of the build up of lime dust on my bucket from Cabin Fever. I guess I moved about 4cy that weekend. I forgot to pickup on the bucket with my hand to see what a full bucket weighed with that wet stuff. I assume it was in the neighborhood of 13-14lbs.
That material was very wet deep inside the pile.

Yeah, my dozer and pan are caked up too.

It was nice finally seeing the 9 up close and being able to get the equipment together and move some dirt.

Sure was fun digging on "the pile" with somewhat of an active mine diorama we had going! I can't wait to do some more digging in May at the Lakeside Sand and Gravel open house and the Brownsville,PA show. Lakeside is real easy digging in a pile of coarse sand. The only problem there is; I have to set on a piece of plywood on that soft sand and I need to dodge a kid or two throwing sand at my model since it's next to the kiddy play area.
We finally weighed the 9W when we unloaded it from my trailer and I was pretty close estimating 175lbs. and it is exactly 180lbs. I figure about 25-30 more pounds of parts and she'll be complete.

Well if the certain kid's parents would tell them "Now Don't Do That" instead of just sitting there doing nothing and watching.

Steve. That's an easy fix, just put a small water canon on the machine. When they get out of hand a squirt or two usually puts the fire out. By the way the bucket looks good like that, sign of a working machine!
