Re: First build ,cat D11
Excellent work on the dozer....looks great!!!
I used that type of motor in my D11 dozer and they work well for this type of application....one thing to watch,the little grey bushing (looks like a socket head set screw on the end of the motor output shaft) will be the first thing to wear out.... it acts as the bushing for the worm shaft as well as a way to adjust the end play, it is put in at the factory with lock tite and is impossible to get out without damaging it, if and when it wears out make a replacement from brass or bronze...the grey bushing will last a long long time....but if the motor starts making a strange noise it will most likely be from it being worn out.
Keep up the nice work!!!
