Hello,
I wanted to show you what I did for my son's X-Mass gift.. My son loved tractors and bucket loaders and they only sell plastic loaders on pedal tractors and that will not do for my son (he is a little rough on things like that). So I got the idea that I would get him a metal tractor and add the loader too it.. It took about 3 days to make this and it came out great. I used Mach3 for making the parts of coarse!

Enjoy and I hope it makes you think about fun projects!

Thanks
Brian

Great gift. Hope you have plans for mounting the motor....they grow up quick. Then the addition of a heavy 8" channel all around it since 16 is just around the corner.....

Very good Brian!  He's a lucky boy.  It looks real good.  

Merry Christmas!!

I was getting a chuckle thinking about him pulling a hydo power unit in a trailer LOL

Nice gift, Brian.

Merry Christmas to USA from Slovenia!

Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2012, Brian, etal.  Your boy will love that tractor with loader.

I wish I had tools back in the 80's when my son(and I) was younger.  But I still saw the delight in his eyes when I managed to stuff the dash and grips with a multitude of electronicbuzzers/sirens, LEDs, momentary/turn dial switches and whatever would fit. He became the hit of the city neighborhood with his "tricked out" big wheeler such as this...

And I though you weren't having fun lately, Brian

Brilliant work considering it only took you 3 days.

Bloy, that is a great story!  Good for you and your son. 

Merry Christmas

What a bewdy Brian, no wonder you had to employ another programmer!

Hope you had a great Xmas

Dave

He loved it and we had a great time playing in the snow

Now I think he needs a logging arch for the back of it LOL...
