Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
Wow, that's nice!

Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
You are a fantastic engineer!
Nice work on this dozer, it should also perform well being so heavy, dozers need good ground weight for tractive force Very nice, I will follow this build |
Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
Looks like you were doing some heavy pushing already judging by the bent grousers:cop:. The attachments look great as usual and I don't want you to take this the wrong way but is it bad that I am more intrigued by what might be in the background? I know you are sitting on another set of expensive tires so I am guessing this will be their home?....:cool:
Keep up the great work! Starting on a dozer very soon myself so this helps me get motivated. |
Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
Good eye Reg , there's actually 3 of them .
Thanks all dozers are my passion . They say I was born in the seat of 1 . Paul , yes the more weight the better . |
Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
I too love all the dozers. This looks great!! Can't wait to see more!!

Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
I wanted to get this lower (ball joint) done before starting a run of wheels :( but bizz iz bizz :rolleyes: . So finally , last night and tonight ( about an hr each ) it's done :)

I did it in 2 setups with a manual face off on the back side . Next pic shows firgelli , only a temp rig up for this wknd . http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...psxupvzrlw.jpg |
Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
Nice job! Cant wait to see some videos.

Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
looking good!

Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
Nice work so far ihbuilder, one day I want to order one of the Izzy Bulldozzer.
Keep up the good work, I can't wait to see the next update on your build. Regards Cameron. |
Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
I want one to.

Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
Hi steve-I am always impressed by you and 9w making parts from steel. I can't do that!!! I just ruin tooling. I guess that is the difference in a machinist and a backyard-hacker. Guess I will stick with brass and aluminum. Your dozer looks good and I am sure it will work good.
|
Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
thanks guys .
Tom, I love cutting steel . Aluminum and I have a love hate relationship when I started with it on the cnc equip. I took a break from polishing :blea: and pushed some hard ground with it :D Plenty of power . I'll see if I can doo a vid on sunday . tomorrow will just be rubber pit |
Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
Your going to go play in crumb rubber? I thought you swore that stuff off.

Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
I did get some crappy phone vids with the phone in the cab and some machining parts . but I might not live long enough till they upload :confused:
Any how , the boss told me to take time for myself :rolleyes: so I finished up the bosses on the blade ( tilt and angle ) . I'm trying new software , so it's a pleasant go so far compared to the hobby grade package I started with :bounce: angle boss model http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...psmrwokwlg.jpg parts http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...psd682fcfd.jpg yes i doo doo some manual machining, simple hole :rolleyes: http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...pse5ce5a8d.jpg spot welded in place http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps598f24da.jpg tilt boss model http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps42a67d12.jpg part I kinda like the plasma cut look . A lil filing or sanding and it disappears http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...psafad8483.jpg spot welded in place http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps3288b143.jpg outside pushin http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...psbb2bacbb.jpg |
Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
Lookin Good Steve. No fartin' just seen one of these the other day. Looked really kool up close. Doin' great.

Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
Thanks Chris , we got a couple runnin around here . Picking up steel yesterday at surplus yard yesterday there was 1 cleaning up the pipliner's mess I almost got close enough to see how cat connects the lift cylinders while 4 guys in hard hats changing the cutting edges ( 1 doing the werk and 3 BSin ) gave me a funny look . proly thought I was gona yell at em for werkin under the blade with no support :rolleyes: (idiots :rolleyes:) If dad caught me doin that back in the day :eek::eek: . anyhow , I'm just improvising :rolleyes:

Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
I worked on the tank and ROP this weekend . I didn't fuss on the inside of the tank , not that it will be seen . :o

Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
Looking good Steve. This should definitely add some weight for traction too!
|
Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
Thanks , Reg
I finally got a lil update . Oil fill caps and vent made and welded it all together . http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...psnn2vmc0s.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...psinmu3ixi.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...psx2uqsdny.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...psgrh1hjsc.jpg thanks for looking |
Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
looking realy nice keep up the great work
|
Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
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. /Dan |
Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
Nice work!
|
Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
Very nice steve- Looks better with each picture. Great details! I really like the track system. Just like the "real deal".
|
Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
Thanks a bunch guys . It's not perfect , but close enough . 2nd time around on the cab . I still need to finish the welding .

Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
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 :( )

Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
Now that's a build thread. Great work Steve. There's no substitute for machining skills like yours.

Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
Ran across this Video Of Steves D6T At CF '15, rolling around in the back ground. Nice!

Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
Yay, doin somethin for myself :eek: makin up the blade cylinders . Found some 4mm rod ends @ McM just had to mod them a bit :rolleyes:

Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
Nice work , you got this one going?
|
Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
Thanks Clyde, I'm using it but it's not done yet :(
Cylinders and related parts not quite done so back to firgelli lift for cabin fever . I did manage to fix the tracks ,now let's see if I can tear them apart again:rolleyes: . Some of what I got done . http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...psthdrnxad.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...psa2sfpokm.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...pssympf7xy.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...psh3exx8ml.jpg A lil slot in adjuster and a set screw to keep the front idlers straight. http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...psuw51bj17.jpg |
Re: cat D6T 6 way blade
I've been waiting for you to do some more on this Steve. Looks good.

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
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.
