February 27, 2007: Greetings from Finland
And thank you for the plans I received a bit over a month ago. I duly set out to build the "Groundhawg" immediately after receiving those plans, mostly out of materials found at a scrap yard, and now the backhoe is in the early trial states. I didn't experience any great difficulties in making the "Groundhawg", I had to do some adjustments required by the metric world and the difference in the available cylinders. Everything seems to work O.K. Anyway, thank you for the plans: I was able to make a much needed backhoe for my wife and at the same time "globalize" a few jobs to Finland from China for a month or so ( we originally contemplated buying one from China). I attached a couple of pictures of the "Maasika" ("Groundhawg" in Finish) in the making and in the ready. I haven't made the bucket yet, that remains the last thing to do, after I get my engine running correctly. I decided to make a plate to which I can attach other tools.
