Did some manual machining today on the sprockets for the drive system. I made a fixture for the sprocket and then milled in the mounting holes.

Touche'... but I finished my basement a couple yrs ago, what I originally intended to do... taking from the floor now was a means of keeping it going b/c as you say, it's the perfect sandbox.

Thank you for the encouragement. :)

You keep building, I keep watching. :cool:

Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
 

Sensational stuff, mpe, but that's what we are used to from you :)

Re: MPE – 24M Motor Grader Build
 

Thanks for posting the little things like the jig for sprockets, it's always nice to see other ideas as I may need the knowledge sometime.

And you guys with big projects :), When I got into this stuff I didn't think I had much to do but now the jobs just keep coming in!! A whole new interest in doing landscaping around the house!!!
