my dozer build

[col11]

Hi all.. This is my first post. Not having some of the fantastic skills some of you guys have I have always wanted to have a go at a scratch build and not being in a position to purchase an all metal model I decided to give it a go... No access to CNC mill or even a power hacksaw I'm using basic hand tool's.

I have not modeled this on any particular Dozer just a mix of the bits I like although it does look D11 ish unfortunately I do not know anything about hydraulics so this is being powered by two geared 24volt 450watt motors with a secondary reduction.. Not sure what scale this would be but its big (1300mm) long and the weight will be around the 90/100 kg.. Blade is 820mm in width, I'm hoping it fits in my van

Thanks guys.. Col

Wow looks amazing for just using hand tools.

Thanks guys.. The only thing I did purchase was a tig plasma combo (hobby variety) all sheet cuts are using a straight edge and a lot of cleaning up (:

Exclusive RC.. Yep I'm itching to slap some paint on.. I've the ripper to build and trying to source some linear actuators that would look about right.. I'm looking for this to be striping top soil in under two months
