Not yet, need to weld everything and finish all the little things that never got done before....

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...)

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

Started the long process of welding,grinding and sanding......got the tanks done...slowly getting things done
