Did some manual machining today on the sprockets for the drive system. I made a fixture for the sprocket and then milled in the mounting holes.

Touche'... but I finished my basement a couple yrs ago, what I originally intended to do... taking from the floor now was a means of keeping it going b/c as you say, it's the perfect sandbox.

Thank you for the encouragement.

You keep building, I keep watching.

Thanks for posting the little things like the jig for sprockets, it's always nice to see other ideas as I may need the knowledge sometime.

And you guys with big projects , When I got into this stuff I didn't think I had much to do but now the jobs just keep coming in!! A whole new interest in doing landscaping around the house!!!

So what's the total reduction work out to?

What's the diameter of the tire?

Not finished. Too many other paying projects that I do have anytime to delicate to this grader. I did poke around with it a little the other day.
Sorry for the long delay... but I need to make a living and pay the bills.
