I didn't realize you had so much up your sleeve! The AWD grader looks like a really great project. I really like that Deere juicer, as you call it. Not one of your projects is lacking in detail, functionality, and just pure scale looks. Unbelievable work. You've got a ton of talent, and all your models are top notch. After drooling over the last 6 pages of pictures, I feel like I should offically sell off all of my non scale trucking RC models and just go for the construction machines to match my interest in the rigs. This spectrum of the hobby is just so much more fasinating to me these days. I hope I can one day own a hydraulic anything piece of RC machinery!

Thanks scott these already are fairly heavy and having bbs would give some serios traction

Joe they do have a very thick sidewall about a 1/2 inch thick..
The tubing im using is 1/8 od from K&S stock # 1145
Thanx everyone and rctech9 for all the great compliments and comments,,Im a pipefitter by trade and doing this small stuff can be very frustrating ...turning some of those small barb fittings was a chalenge and i wrecked about 5 trying
