Cool!

well another week gone slow week but some stuff done
new winch installed

finished molding the belly of the frame

got the new grill in and filled the section where I made the blade wider

molded the rear log stops not sure if I like the look or not. new arch design more like the picture I have seen

some of the side covers are done I really dis like the servo arm for the blade lift but what can I say I might find a way to hide it

well that is all for now

[Nikaem]

as I said the log stops really look like crap and when I look at the skidder from the front the arch is not square also the wife says the blade is not tall enough. I figure the whole back end needs a rebuild so I started over and it was a failure so I figure I would just start modifying what was there so no real progress was made this week

[Nikaem]

okay we got some head way. First the blade taller and painted the grill reshaped and painted plus started the front tow eye


I will add some more screws to the grill so it looks better the 2 the are not centered so the grill is still off looking. got the side vents and access doors on one side done also the air breather

this is a better shot of the side

the re-vamped arch with logs. if you look close you can see the exhaust pipe tip that is new

here you see the new log guards and arch with logs

and just a simple side shot .this is the slow time when all the details start

[Nikaem]

it is done
