Default Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper

Thanks guys, it wont be long now. I put it in the dirt and MAN it does good, dozer has plenty of power, it loads like a dream, and a BIG bowl full. However the only problem is that the apron gets dirt hungup in between it and the bowl, not letting the apron move. So I think I'm going to cut the apron sides down a little and see if that helps. Going to put a stiff arm on the apron too and maybe it will force it some. I think once the apron is working right, it will solve the resistence problem. The crowd didn't hang up at all like I had thought it would, so that made me feel better. Steve, I have leather sweeps in front of the crowd too keep the roller track clean.

Dan, the dozer will push a little better than 200 lbs, not sure on the drawbar pull yet.

Thanks for all the imput guys and the drawing Jeff.

Hope to have a video soon. It looks so cool running around, not rubbing it in, just excited.
