How much space do you have in front of the motors ? It looks like you may be able to put the jung set up Fumotec uses . This is where I placed mine on my TD 40 and plan to put a fan on the back side of the pump motor (outrunner )

I'm thinking I'll have plenty of room now that I started on the body work.






I didn't want to take the time and make a grill like the 1:1 has and I had some of this perforated material laying around.

And this is a good lesson to just tack things in place before completely securing them. I finally made some good welds on the blade lift cylinder mounts. After done I attached to the machine only to find out the blade cylinders should be somewhat in line with the arm mounts of it puts stress on hydraulics when tilting. Guess better now than later.



And the lower relocation of the cylinder mounts.

You need to add spherical rod ends on the cylinder rods.
I helped a mechanic install a blade on a D11N back a few years ago. We a had a heck of a time getting the push arms aligned because it was a low hour machine at the time. The mechanic got his torch out and started cutting the spherical bearing just as the big boss came around and gave him h e ll. The next morning I was passing by and the Cat Dealer mechanic was there installing a new push arm end.

Started work on cab. It looks big but scale is correct. Maybe once side tanks and rops are on will look ok.

Got a little more done. The metalwork is not my favorite thing to do. But I'm getting a little better at the welding.

Hey Cooper, How many Hours are you spending each day on this project?
You are flying along , I know we can spend a whole day in the workshop at the weekend and still not make the progress you make in a couple of days during the week.

Haha, I tried working once, I didn't like it. Lol,,,,, na,, I'm in a slow time of the year. And lately I've been trying to keep out in the garage as we have a Great Dane puppy that is **** in the house!!! Wife like to deal with that. Lol. Plus once the weather breaks I'll be busy and not have much time to devote to the toys.

I added some hinges so it will be easier to gain access to guts.


And I tried to tuck them under the overhang of the back so they aren't noticeable.

I know I'm not much of a welder, but I'm slowly getting better. Nothing that bondo wouldn't fix. .

And I figured I would reinforce and needed to secure the screen somehow. I just tacked some bent metal to sides. Added a lot of stability and clamped the screen in place as it's aluminum not steel.

And once smoke stacks are located a support will be tacked in top also.

I'm planning on having a small computer fan in front for some cooling. I left a small louvre in the top of the cab for some air to pass.


And again I'm not too good at the welds towards the back.

So some idea of the access to the internals.




And everything in the cab area that folds up is open space. Originally I was going to use the side tank for excess hydro fluid but I'm just not confident in my welding that it would end up giving me fits.

Thanks,, it's one of those good from far but far from good!!! Lol! That's the welding mess. Well I'm definitely addicted to the construction equipment stuff. I'm sure more builds will be in the future. As my metal welding skills can get better. (I hope!). I guess its like drywall, the smoother the first coat the less work on the last.
