Re: (ET) EGT 200 scoop pictures

["Kleinbrahm, Robert" <rkleinbrahm firstrepublic com>]

Barry,

Your post to the group went fine, thanks for the info and the pix of the 
scoop.  I took a look at these scoops a year or so back as one was being 
offered on Craigslist for a reasonable price.  After doing some research 
on it and reading the reviews available at that time, I decided against 
it.  The link that you provide to the sears site certainly has some good 
reviews now and they may have corrected some issues, hence the higher 
price now.  Is the bucket pivot done with the lever arraignment?  I may 
look into these again if my current conversion of a snow blower doesn't 
pan out.

Thanks,

Bob K.

Bob:

This is the first time I have responded to an email from the Elec-Trak 
list.
Please let me know if I messed up.
..........................................

I purchased a Sears scoop on ebay for about $160 and modified the included
mounting brackets and did a little welding and attached it to my New Idea
EGT 200. It works great.

I also bought an addition set of the side plates that are used to attach 
the
scoop to the modified mounting brackets and attached them to my dozer blade
so that you can exchange with unit just be removing one pin. That also 
works
great.

The only modifications to the EGT 200 is the drilling of two ¼ holes for 
the
pins that hold the modified mounting bracket upper bars in the channel in
the EGT 200.

I plan on removing the handles from the scoop and replacing them with
electric actuators.

I have included a few of pictures.

Contact me if you want more information.
