John Deere 310 Backhoe Loader
Added panel lines and foot control, planning on adding the hydraulic fluid cap on the floor.
The white scrap is to add hydraulic lines to keep them in place once the cab is on the chassis.
Making the backhoe movable. Had to do some surgery to cut all the parts free.
Added missing hydraulic pushers on the side to side movement of the backhoe
Extension of the backhoe
Added some extra bits, bobs and wiring to add more detail to the engine. Only after gluing it together did I find a PE fan blades, oh well.
Cut the stabilizers free so that they move.
Adding the hydraulic tubes to the stabilizers, The original ones were molded right to the stabilizers and were totally wrong. It is weird that ERTL included the hole in the frame where the hydraulic tube connected to the frame.
Adding hydraulic lines to the controls. Used lead wire for the plumbing.
Dry fitting together
