It never ceases to amaze the quality of the engineering carried out by some of the members here and this is no exception :cool: :cool:

Amazing workmanship and attention to detail very well done

Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
 

With that new ROPS and new tanks it smells Cat allover!
Looking good. Wish my boss was telling me to take some time off.

I did some "temp" firgelli hook up to be able to use at Cabin Fever . As it turns out I may be able to get the firgellis to werk for the 6 way blade function . We'll see :rolleyes: Here's a vid my lil girl took while I did some grading ( hate not having the 6 way functioning :( )

Now that's a build thread. Great work Steve. There's no substitute for machining skills like yours.

Ran across this Video Of Steves D6T At CF '15, rolling around in the back ground. Nice!

Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
 

I've been waiting for you to do some more on this Steve. Looks good.

Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
 

Thanks Joe , I'm getting there . The big guy (TD40) goin back on the bench with it . I'm just figuring out the planetaries for the finals now that I know where I can get the parts (thanks Cooper;)) :D. Haven't seen you around in awhile :eek:

I found out you can't doo any welding in model with sabertooth in model :(:o so all the prep for cabin fever was for naught :( .

Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
 

Steve-I was going to ask you if there was any video of your dozer working at Cabin Fever but I guess this answers my question. I Would like to see more of this model.

Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
 

A lil more :o

A few more lil parts then I can assemble :eek:

Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
 

Wow Steve!! Those cylinders look darn good, lot of time in them. Do you add a oring into screw on cap and just compression fit it. I never thought of making them like that. I may have to do that as long as I can get a little better at cutting inside threads.

Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
 

Nice job on the cylinders Steve. Ed

Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
 

Very nice brass work on the cylinders steve-I really like these older dozers. I would like to see someone build a cable dozer.
