Dolly system didn't work. Back to the drawing board. Need to get more weight further back or get the top bar to lock into the cradle better. Front section was dragging on the ground. The tire inserts held the weight just fine though. I suppose this is what happens when you guess on the geometry haha!

On the other hand, the big bucket was awesome for Indy rubber!

Finally was able to get my stuff out of storage from the fire and tear into this thing. Body was heavily damaged but I've got the new raw body from JDH ready for paint.

Haven't tested the electronics yet but there's no visual damage. Looks like all I'll have to replace is the hydraulic lines from the splitter to the arm cylinders. Those were melted in spots so I'm sure the fluid was cooked pretty good. Anyone know a source on this side of the pond for those lines? I believe they're the 6mm lines but I forgot to measure last night.

Gardentrucking.com sells 1.5 mm and 2.5 mm hydraulic tubing for about $2 a foot and RC4WD sells 2.0 mm tubing about 40" long for $17 but I didn't see any 6mm anywhere.

Can't seem to find any retailers state-side that carry the Parker. I found this stuff on Mcmaster Carr today and will report back if it works well:

OHH!!! I can help! I am about to order this

http://www.grainger.com/product/PARK...KR2?s_pp=false

for my LR 634, it's close enough to 3mm OD.

You might find your size on there. Good luck!

That tubing works great and is the same stiffness as what the excavator was supplied with.
