 the axles are cut from stock for wrap around bumpers that was .125 " to short  . the counter wieght is cut from a 1" plate we found on a job back in the early 90's left by pipeliners the drill motor is from a drill I thought I could use on job sites for instaling elc. conduit on concrete walls for elc. serv. without lugging the gen. around (big fail) . So instead of it sitting around collecting more dust , why not put it to real use . I still need to make up the spool carrier ( in steel ) that'll have to wait till I get done with alum. so I don't mix chips . I took a hit on 3 out of 4 55 gal drums full of chips because of it  .

Re: 990 cat loader
What sort of differential are you planning on using in this beaut Steve? I've been spending a lot of time on a design for a very small LSD for my loader build, but am thinking are they actually needed? With the weight these scale loaders end up, do they actually lift a wheel with open diff's? Sorry, just picking your brain here
Cheers Glenn

" do they actually lift a wheel with open diff's "
 not sure what you mean here , Glen I'm using the hpi savage steel diffs out of a nitro truck . they seem to handle some abuse . only time will tell .I took some time this weekend for myself to unwind to figure out what to do to solve a production issue on hubs so I made some more parts for the axles . when running 2'nd op in the mill for the spool carrier on the same jig that I use for hubs , it still f'n off any how it was a long night  but I managed to save the carriers with a pressed in brass sleeve . well enough BS  I did take some so so pics rear axle assm.  front and rear axle assm.  carrier and axles    pivot assm. and parts    steel sleeve over alum. for better wear protection  thanks for lookin
