Keep posting your progress... even if it is awhile between posts. Lord knows how many projects we all have in various stages of work! :laughing:

Every time I get a little too proud of my self a guy like you comes along and puts me in my rightful place. I have the same welder as you, but it has never produced anything that fine.
Can't wait to see your next project.

unfortunately, now i have to spend some $$ for the hydraulics to run it. Thanks to JJ's posts on solenoid divert valves, I should be able to get by spending minimal $$.

Or just use a rear remote. I used one for years. Loved it. Less fussy than diverter valve or 3rd function. Works just as well.

NICE!! Looks just like mine (which I did not build).
Actually the millonzi grapple was used as a reference point for me. Pretty sure your pics helped me out a ton. Thank you

I'm sure you will love it once you finish and get hydraulics squared away.

Thank you for the kind words. Believe me, I am no fabricator. Notice no close-up weld pictures... To many critics and it will do the job I intend, if not ill grind and weld more.


Had help from TBN again earlier identifying a hydraulic fitting and now have the hydraulics all ordered.

You should be really proud of yourself. I would be!
