Well I had this project started about a year ago and got busy with some other stuff, but after a major ice storm I have to finish it so I can start some cleanup work. I think it will work out OK but not sure just have to wait and see. Still have the support arm to build.

Also added some bracing and hoks to the front bucket.

Looks sweet! Hope I'll be able to lay weld-beads that neat! ~Scotty

I see no reason why your limb clamp won't work. Looks like the ones on the bigger units, just smaller. Build the brace strong, hydraulics can be powerful.
