Wow, a really cool project! Where did you get the tires? How big are they? Even with the large size of the machine, you gonna have problems fitting all the components and batteries? Hydraulics?

Looking forward to seeing this one.

T-n-T-Lou-this is a great project and I believe a 1st. for this site. (To be completed). I like the steering geometry although I really don't understand it now but I'm sure it will be clear later. Very nice work. I will be following.

Thanks everyone ..appreciate all your input ..tom i was pretty much the same way ..took me a while to find some good enough pics to show how it works and luckily once my cad was machined the geometry worked well..I will be able to steer at around 85 degrees heres a few pics i found



And i received a package ..couldnt wait to get started

T-N-T-Lou-now I understand the steering. It just takes me awhile. I look forward to seeing this model finished and moving some dirt. Great work so far.
