Small update I played with the excavator in the yard fixing the spot where the town fixed a water line in our yard. I have now decided to take it apart and do some painting as well as putting on the new style cylinders and upgrading the motor on the pump to a 4:1 gear reducted out runner. I have not decided on a color yet but I may paint it gray to match my Izzy dozer. Here is a pic of me playing in the yard and a pic of the tear down.
