990 cat loader

[Supermario]

I hope thumbnail pics work for now. I'm using my company laptop and I dont have photo bucket yet. We currently have the steer joystick apart and its not in the photos. I can get better pics of the Z arm once machine is back up and running. Currently have the bucket held back with a few wire cables just in case we have to pull it out of the shop. I took a quick measurement of the z arm... distance from center of top pin to center is 41 1/2" . Distance from bottom pin to center is 52".
Like I say, once she's up and running I'll get some better pics for ya.
I also sent the pics to my home computer and can send them to you from there when I get back at the end of the month.
Have a great day!

Are they good thoughts of how well the build would be , or are they thoughts of how much of a nightmare building a 994 could be lol

Are you still considering making bucket teeth for the 990 or will the 994 come with removable bucket tips.

mario , good thoughts I just need 11" tires yes on the caps for the 990 I just gotta get done cuttin aluminum or just shut down on it for a bit to clean the aluminum out of the mill for steel cutting . I don't want to mix the 2

Craig , I wouldn't call it a pro job , As the title states Earl S paint job for now it started getting cold here before I got to paint it . I was hoping to paint 2 other models at the same time (all cats)

Steve wasn't just looking at the paint job, the parts you have fabricated look like a factory built job. I never though a home brewed loader would looks so good. Again nice job!
