Well rained tonight so no chance of any more painting :TD
But I did make some progress.
Put tracks back on the base
Installed a better slip ring
And here's the new along side the original slip ring
The excavator base attached to the track body.
At this point I decided to add some lock thread to the bolts holding it all together.
Reconnected the motors
Quick test of the wiring
And thats all for tonight.
