Pneumatic LEGO Front-end Loader

One of my first technic LEGO projects was Front-end Loader based on LEGO Set # 8464. It was originally released in 2001. I was not able to buy the set, but I downloaded the building instruction at http://www.peeron.com/scans/8464-1.

Some missing parts like the Excavator Bucket, the big wheels and Pneumatic Airtank I bought at www.bricklink.com. For other missing parts I used alternatives...

I also used bigger wheels as the original design.

It was a nice exercise to get familiar with the studless LEGO beams.
