Speaking of all the little thing....made the proper motor mount from 1/4" Alm. which places the motor/gear box at the proper angle, also cut new side covers from 16ga Alm.

Haha.....(cheater??)

I may considering cutting a new frame from 1/2" Alm. later on to get rid of a few pounds...

(actually thinking of making another 777 truck to pull a belly dump trailer and or a heavy trailer to haul the D11 and the future face shovel around...that is once I get it built...LOL...)

Thought I was done with all the small stuff....not.....

Made the covers for the front struts, cut from .010" SS shim stock.

Also made the top cap to cover the shaft...used some brass and a 3/4" copper pipe cap....still need to solder it together....

Looking great! good job so far and thanks for posting up your build/sharing! I have been watching your vids on youtube since you posted your first couple dozer vids!! glad you made it over here to this site.

hey is it not possible for you to make the dump bed removable and have a fifth wheel type deal that can be attached/removed also to haul trailer/belly dump?

what you are doing is great, i am still wanting to get something built a lot like what you got going. just a matter of priorities... time and money... So, if you could keep the posts and videos coming it would be greatly appreciated! it really helps to see other ideas

Seeing what you're creating from the use of a waterjet table vs the usual cnc works is quite amazing! What's the ballpark $figure for such a tool?

An "OMAX" 55100 waterjet table retails for about 200K US$

The waterjet does a great job cutting "straight" gear teeth profiles , all the gears I have cut have been used "as is" after cutting on the table short of doing some filing, but if you needed a high precision gear it would be best to cut the gear blank slightly bigger and then use the proper gear cutter to finish it...

Thanks !!
