Re: CAT 988F Series II Wheel Loader
Travis ,
that looks like it will be another cool build ! don't want to hijack your thread here , but I have a question for Neil : do you actually have one of these good old Kyosho Hanomag 66C ? http://rctruckandconstruction.com/showthread.php?t=2854 I found a used one some time ago . It's more like a pile of junk which needs some serious rebuilding . It's one of my back-burner-projects . |

Re: CAT 988F Series II Wheel Loader
Hey CustomRCmodel's, I wish! I've had the manual for 20+ year's. I pm'd it to Travis for screw drive idea's. I can pm it to you, if you would like?

Re: CAT 988F Series II Wheel Loader
I hope to have the bucket welded up and ready for some details to be added. I cut out the sides and cut a piece to be bent for the bottom and back of the bucket. I do not have a good way to form the bottom and back piece to the shape of the sides so I took it to a friend of mine at a metal shop. He said he should be able to do it for me and is going to weld them together as well. I am hoping to get my gear motors to build the cylinders this week as well. If all goes well I should have some update pics this weekend. Thanks again to all for the comments and checking out my build.

Re: CAT 988F Series II Wheel Loader
Well I have a bucket welded together but it does not look like much yet. The bucket still needs the cutting edge, side cutters, cab protector, and the mounting brackets. Here are some pics of what I have. I added the second center pivot and I leveled out the frame.
