Yesterday I took the Bruder D5 out for a trial. In the initial test run, I found an issue. The blade controll linkage was moving. The nut I installed on the back side of it was NOT tight any longer. SO...............I mixed up dome epoxy, & tightened the nut. To keep it from happening again, I filled in the cavity with the epoxy.

I also made a little progress with the front loader. I'll have to take pics of that. I WISH there was a way to speed up that SLOW boat from China. I REALLY want my parts, so I can complete this build!
