Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
Well we had a cool front (under 100) blow in, so I (sweat-ed) worked in the shop a couple of days
. Most of you know that When I built my dozer I made a winch for it that looks like this. http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/f...INISHED002.jpg Well, since I'm building a scraper I thought it would look better if I built the detail on the back of the dozer and made a drawbar to pull the pan with. I still need to make the hitch and a few other little details but I think it will look a lot better this way. Been wanting to put the detail on it since I built it so now was a good time. http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/f...9/HPIM1359.jpg I hoping it will resemble this when complete. http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/f...usher9/681.jpg |
Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
Hey joe- nice work! The only problem is that we never got to see you "jerkin" on anything with that winch! I bet that dozer & winch could pull up a small tree stump!:D

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper

|
Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
As I said on scale4x4, absolutely awesome build! I love that bulldozer and wish I had one of my own. How long did it take you from start to finish to complete it? As always, can't wait to see updates from you in the future. You are definitely a talented builder.

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
Thanks for the kind words Dan. It took 2.4 years rainouts and weekends to build. it seems like I've been working on the scraper that long too.

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
Joe one of the reasons they contacted you because I kept bugging them about the 1/12 scale they were sappiest to have and kept telling them about your. O well can't say I didn't try. Sorry it didn't work out. Ed

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
Not following you ED????????

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
I kept calling them and asking about there 1/12 scale dozer and they said it wasn't done yet. I told them that they should go on you tube and see dirtpusher9 video that dozer could push some dirt for a model. I also said Cat had contacted them about you and your dozer and if they did work out a deal on it I sure would want one and I know a number of guys that would want one. Ed
