Here are some closer shots of the D6T I had at the Open House. I corrected the track gauge for a D6T XW without the VPAT blade. I added an angle blade with C frame all made from brass, full hydraulics to the lift and tilt cylinders, and a rear winch made from brass and aluminum that can be reeled in or out with a small screwdriver. I also left the pin connections unfastened so that the owner can change the angle the blade is displayed at when ever they want.

I'm not an angle blade fan but I'll agree with Diecast_Dirtboy, that D6 is awesome! Great work Shane!

I like the D6T it was made for an angle blade.
