I worked on this again for a short bit today. I wanted to tighten/stiffen things up on the boom so I made some sleeves for the stock plastic do-hickies. It's amazing how much difference it made! I started out with 1/4" round bar and drilled it out with a #2 bit leaving a pretty thin sleeve. I also widened the the spacing on the radius arms and this fixed the bucket curl issue Joe was talking about. I will put some spacers on the 3/16 pin so that the arms stay put but it works much better.








Then I had to find a storage spot....

RCP's got back to where things all started over the weekend. Building dirt bike parts....

It took a while to figure out all the bits and pieces but it fits well and will do the job of keeping foreign objects away from the expensive parts. The last time I built one of these I didn't have a mill or much in the way of equipment. I'm not sure if having it makes the job easier but it certainly makes the end result better.
