HAHA! Yep, Pricess Auto. There is something strange about buying brand new power tools and tearing them apart without ever plugging them in... I figured that this was the cheapest way to buy myself some large ring and pinion gears though. I spent most of the day on the lathe today and have made a little progress but I'm not quite ready to let the cat out of the bag just yet.

Finally had time last week to order up some decals for the 300. They were done yesterday so I stuck them on. The scale of the decals is a little off(small) but they look OK, I may have them redone larger though if it continues to bother me. I also did the windows for the cab today... finally! I have no plans to do any more to this machine until the hydros are done so I guess it's a good thing I've already started something else....

I spent a little time on the Volvo today. I changed my swing bearing setup a little as it now rides on two bearings instead of one bearing and a nylon bushing. This seems to have tightened up the slack that was there before so I'm happy. I also ruffed in all my hydaulic lines. My father inlaw should be finished the valve block in the next week so I'm getting excited about this thing again!
