Yea Tom. Had it out for three days. Took some getting used to. The pedals really gave my knees a work out. It is really fun to operate now. Much more challenge than the RC radio.
Here are some pictures leading up to the show.
Final welding




A little on the heavy side. Forgot to weigh after all together but,I think with the consoles it s up around 600#


I was getting some CAT grader parts sand blasted so I had them dust off the base and pedals.





Quick paint job. IH White and red primer. I am trying to get the proper shade of green to match Bucyrus-Erie


Only picture I have from Brownsville.
