Really great job, Mitch.

I really like your color scheme. How did you paint the gray and the yellow on plastic. I assume you used a air compressor/paint sprayer? You must be a better painter than I am.

Thumbs up Re: Carson L634

Hi MItch that is a thing of beauty, i was considering purchasing a wedico wheel loader for my winter project but now i am totaly undecided what to go for.you have made an outstanding job,my only criticism is powder coat is a little gritty in places but thats me being a perfectionist again. where did you get the decals from they are superb. Would i be too cheeky in asking for a ballpark cost overall? If i decide upon buying one would you mind if i contacted you for advice. Think carefully before answring as i might become a pain. Anyway again a really great project and blog. Cheers, Johnny b. Email,jabrentnall@gmail.com

Awesome track loader!
The stock track is rubber correct?

Thanks for clarifying. You would think the nylon tracks wear out fast.

I have nylon tracks on my JD850, they don't show much signs of wear in 2yrs.

I thought the tracks on the Carson were graphite impregnated plastic?

Well, maybe that's what it's called John, I'm not really sure... it's a mixture of something & cast in a mould.

Sorry for late responses. Been involved in other things. Thanks for the compliments, the powder coat is my first attempt. I expect better results next time (Maybe Franks Dozer). Please feel free to contact me anytime. I'll try to check the messages more often.

Even though I have read this build I keep coming back and re-reading it. Love everything you added in Mitch from the metal tracks and ripper to the added weight under the machine, the hose protectors and the awesome Powder Coating, it will be hard for someone to a better job on one of these Carson Loaders than this one right here.

The pictures don't do that loader justice, that is an amazing machine. When Mitch showed me that loader, I was tempted to buy it. Mitch told me that he put on metal tracks but he had to mill them down so they would fit that model. It's too bad Mitch isn't with us anymore, he was an amazing guy & model builder. I'm glad I bought my 966 from him and was able to meet him before he pasted away.

It was a nice loader, it has moved on to Australia.
Sad to hear Mitch passed.
