He is at it again! 1:50 Dozer Conversion

I just got it going and expect I'll have some adjustments to make before long. I also don't have the blade hooked up yet and I should be able to get that working as well.

The tracks are going to be trouble. Ther roll really nice and free, but anything in the links causes trouble. I have a few ideas, but I'm going to finish the blade control first. It may become more of a clean surface machine if I have too much trouble with the tracks. The biggest problem is the scale. Seems like small grains of sand not only get into the links and clog up when the sprocket comes around, but the treads also bind up. I may try to clean out some of the paint where it is real tight, but that is on the back burner for now.

I'll get some photos of the details of the drive system in a day or so...
