Izzy had the Idea to do this years ago but our good friend Freddie beat us to it. I finally had the parts to build it, so here is what I have so far. Thanks to Spudd for the tractor, Izzy for the advice and Freddie for teaching me to build outside the box.
![]() ![]() Take it easy on me for the video I took it with my phone and operated the loader with the other hand. I am happy with how the test went since my pump is not making much pressure I have found the spring for the relief is not right so I will have to find a suitable replacement. I have a new pump on the way and I will fix this one when I find the right spring. I am also only running it on 7.2V https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWMohlEnbh4 Thanks for looking Travis

Looks good Travis are you running rear ends or motors in each wheels wheel they seem to spin the tires very fast? Nice job so far.

Thanks Guys that means a lot to me as you guys now Freddie was a big inspiration to me and one of the greatest builders this hobby will have ever known. I just wish he had shared some of his really off the wall builds as he did with me but I hope to try a few of them myself and post some pics for you to see.
Well hopefully I will be able to post some pics this weekend of it with some paint on it. Travis

Cool stuff Travis, looking forward to seeing paint and you building some Freddy influenced builds, I think only you could do it right, with a little help, needed or not from our favorite engineer
