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.

Well the 3/8 flat was joined up with some tube and turned into this. Still not quite done but close.View attachment 466096

NICE!! Looks just like mine (which I did not build).

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.

Actually the millonzi grapple was used as a reference point for me. Pretty sure your pics helped me out a ton. Thank you

I already have a 3 spool valve on the rear remotes for tnt and box blade ripper,etc..

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.
