Basic description:
1 connect arms for bucket as for normal model
2 place wheels on chassis
3 place 2x4 plate along the front half of chassis
4 place 4x4 plateon back of chassis
oooo
oooooooo
oooooooo
oooo
5 place 1x2 tile with handle on front of 2x4 plate, with vertical side
towards model
6 place 2x4 brick behind tile with handle [lengthwise]
7 place 2x2 tile on front 4 studs of brick
8 place steering wheel on back 2 studs of brick
oooo
ooo86775
ooo86775
oooo
[numbers are for part added in that step]
9 connect 1x2 bricks holding arms onto 4x4
o99o
ooo86775
ooo86775
o99o
10 with plate holding arms together and studs down, connect digger bucket
with 1 row of holes [width to connect a 1x4 plate] between flat end of
'bucket' and plate [basically how the instructions say to connect it for
main model, but upside down] make sure sloped side is facing away from
tractor, so grass can escape.
place driver in tractor
[When you lift the slasher, the front of it [flat side facing tractor]
should just balance on back edge of 4x4 plate.]
I don't know if this made sense, but I don't have a digital camera, so this
is the best I can do...I'll see if I can LDRAW the instructions tonight.
Personal opinion of whether it's any good, but I reckon it is anyway.
