After working Thursday, & then finding out we're working Friday NIGHT, I stayed up all night to get my self acquainted with night shift AGAIN! I had a LOT of time to work on the littel dozer.

I found a PROBLEM with where I mounted the blade control rod. I SHOULD have ended the bolt between the 2 side of the blade arm, & NOT ran completly through it.

It SHOULD have ended where the knife blade is, & has since been re-located.

I cemented the blade pivots where the knife blade is, to prevent it from moving while working

Each drive sprocket got TEN screws placed into them between every OTHER tooth. 20170817_205810 by Anthony Kalnoski, on Flickr

NOTE: DON'T do like I did! Before I reinstalled EVERYTHING onto the tracks, I adjusted the slack in the track by lengthening the distance the screws stuck out form the sprocket. Once I re-assembled the track guides, the tracks were too tight.
