Nicely done! What tracks & sprockets are you using? They seem familiar but don't recall from where.

Re: CASE dozer by ERTL
The sprockets and tracks are from http://www.veroma-modellbau.eu/startseite.html
But the track width is a bit smaller as the original. That was done on a milling machine by my buddy...

Re: CASE dozer by ERTL
Those tracks are plastic but you can get metal ones that look just like those on Ebay that are metal from a place om Canada. Ed

Re: CASE dozer by ERTL
When the model is finished I´ll see how strong ist is. On the one hand I can add more weight, on the oter hand it would be helpful to fix a 5x5 millimeter L-profile on the tracks to get more grip.

Re: CASE dozer by ERTL
I use RB-motors with a ratio of 75:1. If they are not strong enough I´ll take the 100:1.

Re: CASE dozer by ERTL
Nice work! Is the blade lift motor a dual output shaft 90 degree gear motor turning a gear for each side rack? Thanks for the build thread and pictures!

Re: CASE dozer by ERTL
Hello Jim!
A geared motor drives a bevel gear drive that delivers the torque to both sides and drives the rack. It may be seen on a photo some answers erlier.
