Greatness. Is your rear bumper solid styrene or did you wrap it? What did you use for the pre-cleaner? It won't be long now.

Looking good Greg. Where did you find the mesh for the brush guard. Looks very familiar.

The bumper is not solid Ben, the precleaner is a old eye contact bottle with a plastic top that I spun on the lathe..

Here is the latest photo's

Well done Greg!

If your bumper is hollow, then did you fill it BB's? What's the loader's gvw?

Now for the vids!

I'm thinking I may come out to see you guys this summer, if our schedules will sync, been 5yrs since I was there last & you guys have built alot of interesting pieces in that short amount of time.

Awesome Greg! And just in time for next weekends show!
I must admit that I'm pretty stoked to be in the drivers seat still. I've always wanted to operate one of your machines.It looks like I need to defrost the front window though before I can get to loading!

Joe I was surprised to see that this machine's weigh is 20.5 lbs. I hope that is enough, if not I can add weight to the belly pan..

Video's are next as well as the decals. Looking forward to getting together this summer.. ttyl

Dam! Perfect speed and cycle times? I'd like to see it head to head with Lou's Wedico to compare power and speeds. Fantastic job Greg.

Great to see you figured out how to mix.

Movements are very quick & smooth.

Well done Greg well done.

Didn't take Reg very long to figure out the controls. If you guys think it looks good on video, you should see it in person. It's one awesome machine. Nice going Greg.

Guys:

I dunno if Logger mentioned it, but the neatest place to find that perforated mesh, and about the only one I've found, as in post #502, first image, on the grille, is from inside the doors of microwave ovens! Only other place I've seen it used is on cheap radios and speakers, and you only get small pieces then.

The expanded mesh he used on the engine side grilles can be bought in Michaels for stiffening plaster sculptures, or in the pharmacy for making wrist supports the same way.

Just more FYI from a fellow scavenger,
WhiteWolf
