Looking good Greg!

Going to try aluminum welding next?

What will be the reach at ground level with this hoe? For example, my JD850 has a reach of 1400mm.

Hey Greg... I know someone who has a small TIG that they'd like to sell... It does Aluminum...

Greg I read in your post that you use teflon for the track chain to slide on. Could you elaborate a bit. Are the rollers that show just the outside profile of a roller with the teflon mounted to the track frame?
Thanks

That is correct Terry, on the D8 those are just made to look like there are rollers, but it has teflon strips so that it keeps the track running smooth no clogging and aligned. The excavator has teflon as well, milled out for the chain width so that the chain runs inside, can't jump out of slot, no binding..

Joe the welding on the bucket was going great, ( for a while ) then I tried a torch with more heat. The next thing I new I had F--- bombs come from my mouth ! ! !

YES IT IS ALMOST TIME TO TRY A TIG... We will have to talk Reg..

I will measure it up Joe. It is not a monster like yours though..LOL
