Wayne Calder built this Caterpillar 970G model using the same process as Caterpillar on the real one. The CAT 966G and 970G loaders share the same structure from the front wheels back. The Norscot 966G model was changed to the 970G by adding larger wheels and tires and a larger bucket with longer arms. All these additions came off Ertl's 1/82 John Deere 744H (a plastic model).
