I will use ISO pattern. It seems more logical to me, isn't it? I mean, they both have advantages, but I think it's more important to be able to lift the dipper and turn at the same time when unloading material...

Work continues. Finally I finished the foot pedal mechanism; works fine. Besides that, I added lips on the pedals as you suggested, and some reinforcements under the foot plate. I hope tomorow I'll finish the main frame, stabilizers and control post to start the paint job..

After observing your GREAT skill and talent:thumbsup: I believe you would enjoy and profit from watching
the videos (on Youtube) of Keith Fenner, a machinist in New York state USA) who has a very small
job shop and makes some of the best videos about his work on the internet:cool2:. As he says he invites you to watch as he makes many old-school repairs by drilling, milling, welding, grinding, plasma cutting, broaching, etc. He is very detail oriented and fully explains every step he takes.
WARNING: Just as watching your work progress, watching his videos is addictive (in a good way--unless your lady objects to the amount of time you spend watching):laughing:.

Renze:
He is fun to watch and learn from though I, too, notice that he is long-winded a lot of the times.
I fast-forward a bit from time to time, especially when he is doing repetitive processes like
brazing and building up some stock.

+1 for Keith Fenner! I agree, in the latest videos he does tend to "rabbit on" a bit, but the core content is still excellent.

Good point, after all that hard work you certainly don't want to use plain 'implement paint" A good automotive paint w/ "hardener" is a must it gives a nice shine and will last much longer.
After 2 weeks of no spare time, today I finally continued to work on my backhoe. I made a box for two manometers and two thermometers so I can check out oil pressures and temperatures while working with the machine. Also, I connected some hoses to see how they fit in the main frame. A few roller guides are still missing, but that's no problem. Last picture shows the placement of the first hydraulic flow regulator. I'll put two of them to be able to adjust the speed of rotation.

Looks good!
You are not afraid to break those delicate gauges? Or do you plan on a protective cover of some sort?
