Cat Scraper – Todays picture shows more progress on the 6 foot long monster Cat Scraper. It has got to be close to 50 lbs. now because it is real heavy when i pick it up and move it to the welding bench. You can see the transmission is now built and the first two dozen parts for the first hydraulic lines are attached to the left side. Also the bowl lift cylinders are now built and attached. Cab interior parts are partially built and sitting inside the cab. I am very pleased how it is now starting to look . About 50 more parts to design and build yet.
Can’t wait to see it finished. I still have to cut the tire treads too and that will take quite a while.
Have a Great Sat. !
