    Default Anyone made toy FEL/back-hoes?

    I'm looking for ideas on how to make a toy Front-end loader/Backhoe for a child around the 4-8yo bracket. So simple & strong are the keywords here! A

    I've seen some nice ones that are more models than toys but although I'd like to make one it'd end up being more for me than the kids. Y'know?

    Any suggestions/links/pix?

    I don't particularly want plans per se... just something to look at to give me the basic idea of where to start. As usual, once I have a basic idea I'll just wing it...
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    G'day Skew, do these help you? It should help towards the how's that bit make that bit work kind of thing. You'll notice I still have to solder a piece, but it's on the list of things.
    I make things, I just take a long time.

    Thanks, fellas!

    An excavator should work quite nicely.
