No work today, so I monkeyed around a bit in the Garage. I got started on the Bruder Skidsteer conversion. I figured I'd start with the hardest part, making the bucket functional. After scratching my head most all day, staring at that d@m thing, & a few different ideas later, I got something that worked. Since it's servo operated, I hooked it up to the servo tester, & turned it on in the "AUTOMATIC" mode. I works fairly well, WIHTOUT weight in it. I don't yet know how well it'll work with weight in the bucket.
