Well I have been slowly chipping away at this project, and it's starting to look a little more like a loader rather than just a collection of bits of steel.
I have a few more pics attached so you can see the progress.
Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to mate the bucket up with the loader arms for the first time for a test fit. I've gone with what I believe is a JD style of quick hitch
I definitely underestimated the time required for this project. I seem to have spent an eternity turning bushes on the lathe, 40 so far with a couple still to go.
Cheers
Rohan
