Cat 340D Excavator build

[crueby]

Got some more done on the floor plate, riveted on the angle pieces around the edge to hold the cab in place, and bolted down the motor and boom base parts.





closer look:





The vertical motor at the lower right of the boom base frame is to turn the cab around on the track base. It will drive this spur gear (once I make the shaft to connect it) against the large gear on the hub. The hub and the large gear will be bolted to the track base.
