I have recently started making some changes to LEGO Technic set 42147. I have removed the tipper body and have modified this to make it easy to remove this and swap it over to different attachments.

My first attachment is a aerial bucket attachment. These are used for both power line work and also to allowing the trimming of trees. This attachment swings around and also has a knob which is used to raise and lower the arm and bucket.

Overall I am very happy with how this has turned out, for the small number of parts used and the hour I spent building this, it works well.

Nice MOD. Only thing I would suggeest is to try to move the basket attachment point so it's more centered and balanced.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I need to work on that, it looks worse in the photos.

Nice work Tanger..

Thank you. I am not 100% happy with the colours, as my parts collection expands, I might look at swapping this to different colours.
