Default Re: PC1800 Front Shovel (1/12)

So.....after experimenting a while with a spring loaded belt tensioner I finally decided to build a simple adjustable tensioner that moves in a slot on one side beside the pump.....took this apart again and then had a total brain fart
and marked the angle of the slot the wrong way...hate it when that happens!! YIKES !!! So then proceeded to take a light cut, the whole time not noticing the painfully obvious mistake and well the pictures tell the story....lol....just as I got to the end of the first light cut I noticed that the slot was angled toward the pump mount studs....to late now..."NICE REAL NICE" Wasn't sure if I should laugh or cry...lol...gave this thing it's first nasty build scar!! After cutting the slot at the proper angle the tensioner should work a bit better now!!
