Re: Cat 340D Excavator build
Going to call this one just about done, and start playing with it! Got the last of the wiring bundled up and out of the way so the cab would go on, and set up the radio. Just need a lot more...

Re: Cat 340D Excavator build
Some more progress to show - the wiring is pretty much done, still want to bundle up some of them but all is functional. Re-tensioned the tracks, since it was fine when the drive wheel was pulling...
