Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Lou,
I dont recognize the blue truck in your photos. I am curious about the third axle. Is it a jeep with a lift axle??? I have never seen a truck like that. can you give some more info, or point me to a build thread, or even a video of it. Thanks |

Nevermind, I found your build thread. I dont know how I missed this one. That is one very impressive build. Thanks for sharing with us.

Great pictures Lou! Definitely a fine logging fleet. I hope to have a fabulous setup like yours in the outdoors one of these days.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Thanks Lou for posting the pictures. Sure had a great time moving dirt with you two. The FWD is a tough truck and it survived the roll over, never even broke the mirror off. I'm pretty sure we moved about 42 loads until Greg put that big one on by packing it down. Those screw drives are tough tho, as it still lifted the box crammed like that. Go FWD!!!

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Got together with rob and greg yesterday and did some more work in Gregs big construction park Project ..greg had some radio problems with the excavator so we ended up double teaming with the two Dozers ..we backfilled the N/W wall for a while and I ended up getting stuck a few times ..The D8 can pull good too ..thanks greg

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Cool videos, Lou. Your IH TD25 is a really nice model. I've always liked it. Something different then Caterpillar yellow machines, but Greg's dozer is a great model too. I'd be glad to own either! Looks like you had a good time.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Thanks guys ..I can easily kill 4 hours hanging out and moving dirt or logs with greg and rob ..As you can see i have been getting the dozer back into the operating mode ..i used to have planatarys in the sprokets and they wernt sealed enough ..They would get plugged up so I got rid of them ..some of the photos you can see the new hubs ..works much better but a little fast ..may order a couple sprokets and gear it down a bit more .I was also not quite happy with the blade up/down travel and finaly got around to swapping out the cycinders from 2" to 3" travel. much better

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Looks good Lou! I like how you have incorporated an old road sign into the frame. You better get busy though. Don't you have a gravel truck to build?

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Hi Tracksntreadslou
Your International TD 25 dozer did you make it your self or did you buy it as a kit off some one? I like how it looks as is has a old school look to it. Regards from Cameron.
