Casey Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) I stretched the frame, added Mack rear ends, and I'm scratch building the log bed and loader. Feedback is welcomed and appreciated.--Casey Edited September 27, 2015 by Casey 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Casey Posted September 21, 2015 I had to backtrack some of the build. I have reworked the drive gear main boom and upper boom support, and added the outer boom, cylinders and a few other odds and ends. Progress has been slow as I am learning as I build and it needs a little putty and sanding but I am pretty happy thus far. Note: not sure if the part names are correct, not an expert... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Casey Posted September 27, 2015 I have made some progress on the build over the last week or so. Rebuilt the loader's ladder.Made a lot of progress on rebuilding the log bed. It was not "heavy" enough.Swapped the 65K rear suspension for a 55K set-up.It's funny how some parts look much larger/thicker in the images than they are. Photography is obviously not my thing... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Casey Posted August 21, 2016 Small progress but I finally mounted the rears. I hope to get some measurements of the extend-a-boom, the grapple and some other stuff the next time I'm in Tennessee so I can get back on this one. --Casey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
