Talking Travis B's Track Loader gets a paint job
Our good friend "00" Biddle contacted me about painting up his track loader. As I am on a strict budget since x-mas ....(binge parts purchases).....I agreed ...... reluctantly no kidding .... he had to twist my arm ....

As most of you know, Travis is a bit of a CAT ..... So even though his loader isn't it will be soon ..... sorta ......

So here's a before picture ....



and the parts all painted .....



Hadn't taken any pics on the tear down - sorry all - so here's a start to the build up ...









Contacted our good friend "tc1cat" (Lynn) about some lathe work ..



.. just couldn't figure to put all those bolts in where good clevis pins should go....





thanks for lookin'

Looking real good Izzy and if the right person see's this I could use some 963 decals to really help the transformation. I want to thank Lynn as well for the awesome new pin's once again Lynn's talent is showing through

Long story short I ordered a new dozer and after 6 months of waiting the Indy show came around and Ric had this loader that was already put together but still looked new so I took it instead. I wanted a loader as well so this gave me both a dozer and a loader all in one and I also got some extra goodies at ind with the difference in the price of the two. Here is a link to my thread.
