Miniart Cat D7 & scratch built Hyster logging arch

Built up the roller / fairlead system for the end of the boom -






I had to use aluminum for the banding around the cheeks as I had no brass of the appropriate thickness and styrene kept failing at the bends once the cement hit it . The aluminum was fastened with epoxy. The roller system will be permanently installed on the boom after I do some of the weld beads and make up the two cable guides for the boom.
Weld beads begun on the main chassis.
