Hey Dave,
First, nice project!!! I've read your thread from the beginning and it's got me to really want to build one myself. The links that you posted several years ago for the plans has disappeared. Is there anyway you still have the set on your computer and would be interested in sharing them? If so, it would be much appreciated.
JJ, If and when I do get this project underway, I may bug you more then anyone. Mainly because I live in Callahan and your just down the road from me.....hehe
Hopefully, you still have plans to finish the backhoe and will be posting some pics and videos of it in action.
Thanks in advance,
Richard
