Thanks Guys!
I think I might go w/Mr dremel cuttin wheel. Not sure how much I'm going to have to remove yet. Once all the crap is in,I'll know how much to wack by the looks of it.
The cab is made out of cast alum.
Found a home for one of the spool valves.


This is basically how the pump & batteries are going,except for one will be on top of the other,also on an angle due to hood angles.

Also shortend the pump tank.

This I don't believe it! Only took two shots at nose piece to git it right. BUT! The hood I got on the first shot





Can't wait to git the plow to go up & down. Now I've got to git fancy w/lift arms & levers,cause the lift cylinder is no where close to where it needs to be.For a simple deal.
Thanks for lookin!

Freddy, the rate your going it should be done around midnight, nice work. You'll have a lot better luck running the cylinders down each side of the nose or frame of it.

Great build Fred! I didn't even see this until today. Never knew you were working on it. Are you aiming to build a replica of a specific 1:1 machine, or one that is a good shoe-in for a variety of JD skidders? So far so good! Looking forward to the updates as they come.

Well now! Back in the saddle again!
First off I guess I'll say thank you for the nice complements.
Finally got the parts I need to finish this baby! EXCEPT for the rims??
Well.......turns out,the wait was for the best.
Now there's a 3 spool in the front of this baby instead of a 2 spool.
Decided to go the bigger buck,& do er up right!


Now the blade will be hydraulic,was gunna go w/servo or screw drive.
But space is at a high cost right now. Turns out,the cab interior had to go bye-bye. Can't run all of this on one pack.

Also gave the cab the skidder look at the back of it.


Now there's a ton of room for ole-mr pumpy.

Also found a nice place to put the speed controller.

Well....Thanks for lookin!
All ball bustin will be takin at par!
