Time for another progress update, probably the most noticeable change is that the backhoe has brakes after a decent overhaul of the airline system, managed to replace most of the valves and hoses. Apart from just installing the new parts i decided to add anti-compounding to the system as well and it worked out great, two extra hoses and one additional double check valve to the system. Also scrapped clutch cut-out feature and some switches which did not had much purpose now or before. I used the Tinkerers idea to add nitto air-fitting into the line and it works great, useful feature it is. Also steering cylinders got repacked along with added new hoses from the cylinders to the steering rack. In addition finished off the backhoe control tower and dashboard with minor detailing and elements. The battery switch will be also added to the plus side, i take continuous 300A and max 900A current rating should be fine for that system, bought the Blue Sea System m-series 6006 on-off switch for that, their product quality is excellent imho. Next things in the list are to patch-up, sandblast and paint some of the remaining body parts, get new set of tyres and to overlook the boom/dipper/bucket hoses and pipes as the previous work has not been done as it should had.
