I started on a Cat Mt-450 last night and this is where I'm at so far. I still have to box in the rear some, add hydro lines and fenders. Seeing how mine uses a 725 base instead of a 740 I'm not sure what the real life # would be since MTS only does the 740/MT-450. Anyways, after this one is done I'm planing on doing the other two ADT/Scrapers that were also shown at Con/Expo.

I like it a lot! After seeing all those customs made with those Maskin scrapers it almost makes me want to try something with it... They're made by First Gear right?

Nice job!! I would also try putting some sort of ballast box on the back end, looks kind of nose tipsy if you know what I mean.
I like what you did with the Hydraulic lines in the back end with the wire "jacket"!!

I like the idea when I saw the pictures from conexpo. I will second the idea for the counterweight.(might add some traction  )
