Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

I did make some more progress on the cab..I got it properly mounted with a hing point wich will make it legal to haul on hyway...I can hide a bunch of electrical and keep it away from oil leaks...I also made steps for the operator

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

GREAT JOB Lou ! !
its a good thing you built that off highway trailer last year as that juicer is starting to be a big heavy piece of iron..

Lou, Looking good, cab extension looks right, I really like the steps with the expanded metal and the hand holds, that kind of detail adds so much to the finished machine. Theres got to be something in the water that makes the Vancouver Island guys such great model builders!! Fred

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Wow, that looks pretty nice. It's amazing how fast you work. Blink and it'll be done.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

TnT lou-looks great! I really like the detailing you did. Nice touch!

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Nice Lou, like the details, steps and hand rails. Now just a touch of paint eh?

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Looking good Lou. Is this the way of highway transportation with lowered cab?

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

looking good lou, gets better with every detail. great job

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Wow I cant beleive the great responses this conversion is getting ...thanks a bunch eveyone..I cant wait til I get it finished so I can go out n play with greg and rob.. lol
Lorenzo I tried to find a pic of the cab in the folding down position ...Yes that is the way they transport them on public roads ...I did see one in transport that way last summer but didnt have my camera with me...I dont think my lowboy would be able to haul it with it streched out that way...would need one of those special rigs with the extra dolly in the rear..
Thanks again everyone cheers Lou

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
 

Did a bit of painting on the weekend and starting to put it back together ,,,not happy with the green i got though its the same code and brand from deere but is a bit darker ...I may have to put a new coat on the whole cab and body ...A few more hours and be ready for somne vids i hope
