weather was pretty average today so I made an executive decision and painted the dozer, here's a couple of pictures showing the travel of the ripper.
I will be making a new blade set up and going with a large single ripper in stead of the three blade set up.
I have run out of paint so off to get some more made up, will pick up some more aluminium and do some new track pads, they will be 15mm wider than the original ones, so traction wont be an issue, these will be nut and bolt , no more pop rivets.
