OK when I go to my profile and click on the box to enable html the next time I try to post a reply I have a white box with a blue bottom line that says design and html and I can not enter any text and the paste button doesn't work ...(sad)

Wow, you sure got every last detail cleaned and painted on it. Very nice work. As for your above post about replying, mine does the same thing. The way I have to reply is at the bottom of the text box there is a cancel and a preview and post box. Before I can enter any text I have to hit the preview box, that gets you to a similar looking box that on the bottom has a box saying something like back to edit. Click on that it will bring you back to the first box but then it will let you enter text. I have no idea why, a couple guys have mentioned it on here before. Just a little glitch we deal with, nothing major, I'm just glad this forum is here no matter if it has a few hickups or not.

Hi Rick,
Welcome to the forum! I have been following your progress on this machine on YouTube. It is going to be sweet when it's done!
Here is a link to a tutorial on how to host pictures:

Important: this only works in Internet Explorer. I was able to get this to work on my Mac, once I installed an IE emulator in Safari, but it is slow and painful. I only use it when I absolutely have to.

As many of those as I've done……I've yet to take the time to do the undercarriage …….fantastic job. Couple of questions……what happened with the front plate that it required replacement and did you fabricate the replacement plate? Also…….why the full width plate under the hydro filter?…….just wondering, cause I want junk to fall through personally. Again…….great job.

And yes……you are correct, it is the "final" drive chain and gear.

The Front plate was missing the tow hook and the previous owner hooked chain to the bottom edge of the front plate and tore it up pretty good... bent the bottom edge out and ripped it in a few places I cut the steel but took it to a local Trailer Mfg. Kruger Trailer to have the top and bottom bent.... our local fab shops could not bent steel that thick.... Thank you for the compliments..... as far as the bottom skid plate I just figured the opposite --- I figured it would help keep dirt out ??? Im pretty much going to use it for personal use not really commercially.... I have a few videos on youtube about the bobcat and an old farmall cub I restored as well as a bunch of stuff we built for fun just search rick garloff on youtube.... Thanks again !
