Merry Christmas, I hope everyone has a healthy happy New Year !
Thanks for all the comments. The John Deere log loader in in the video is Lou's, we were giving it a test run after his handy work converting it to a logging machine. It is working very well, the bigger logs that Lou was lifting were cardboard tubes that Lou added bark and end pieces to. They are pretty heavy, BUT not as heavy as if they were solid wood...
The photo's below is where I am at with the D8 build. I was surprised at the time that was involved in the building of the blade, not as quike as I would have guessed. ( lots of bends and angles ) I still have a few more hours to get the blade finished...

Nice handiwork on shaping the blade Greg.

Greg. The blade and fittings turned out fantastic. Looks good the way the angles are fitted, very neat. You've been very naughty working in the shop. Did Santa bring you any Coal, I can use it for my steamer.

Thanks for your input guys, Joe I think I am going to try td9clyde's idea. ( thanks Henry ) great idea, sounds like that filler will work well....

It sure gives it a different look with the blade out front, it will turn into a real CHUNK once the ripper is hanging off the back.

Awesome Greg! I must have missed this thread, because this is the first I've seen of it! Really looking forward to seeing the progress on this dozer. I was thinking about trying my hand at building something with tracks. Anything with tracks, but I don't have a clue where to start. Been looking at roller chain and K-1 adapters for pad mounts. I think you have answered most of my questions there. I'm curious though, what you might suggest for idler wheels and bearings, if not bushings? Do you make all your own parts? What sort of tools and equipment do you have? I'm guessing you've got a lathe and mill somewhere in your shop. I really need my own mill! It would really help me on any project I tackle.
