Holy pop rivets Batman! Mark, if that's yours I would say you have an addiction...

[bigford]

its only an addiction if you deny the problem!!!! I know the problem.
thinking that tigging or brazing will clean the rivets up and make it look
better.

Haha, so true. I have many problems....

Wow!!

[Northern Farmer]

Awesome stuff so jealous! Who's doing your build ?

[bigford]

Barebones e11

[Northern Farmer]

Sweet! :cool:

[Radar]

Holly cow now it's looking like a dozer

[realist1903]

İt looks like a monster.

How you do it with laser cutting on sheet metal?

[Northern Farmer]

What scale are you aiming for ?

[bigford]

they say its 1/14

[Northern Farmer]

She's ain't skinny that's for sure!

[Radar]

She's a fat bottom girl for sure hope u like it

[bigford]

waiting for to get here... then the fun begins

[RCP57]

So when are you moving to a house with a larger backyard?

[bigford]

he!! I can park 7 dump trailer in the back and still have room for a oval pool
I just need a real cat to dig the concrete hard ground

[RCP57]

Oh OK. So when are you bringing the real machines in to dig sh!t up? We need Foxville South!

[mcl fabrication]

Wow that's a mammoth, looks more like a D20 Lol. I cant wait to see it in person. I'm happy your not far away. Does it have that new car smell? or more like laser cut metal and axle grease?

[bigford]

don't know yet its still sitting in Orem Utah at the mini cat plant

[Anyspy]

How heavy is this dozer bigford

[bigford]

dozer weighs approximately 90 pounds empty

[Northern Farmer]

God d4mn! Going to need a buggy to move her fat a$$ around!

[bigford]

or a extra rc4wd lowboy!! god knows my ERC lowboy cant do it

[Northern Farmer]

Hahaha good idea!

[Northern Farmer]

Cooper's dozer is going to have some competition!

[JAMMER]

You will need a beam trailer to haul that around. Ed

[Lost_ Frequency]

They will love the juice.

Ahhh you like da juice?

[speedy8305]

I think you gonna need a 4 axle drop side Bigford!!!

[Radar]

It's a little to big for my lowboy with the ripper on but width wise it ok a bit ridiculous lookin but that's cool

[Philberg]

That looks some impressive machine there Mark.
Well that's my first post made too lol

[RCP57]

WTF? What is with these shipping companies? Unless it's wrapped in concrete they seem to be able to damage things on a regular basis. SH!TTY!

[Bo Wallen]

Sad to see........FeedEx do nothing = ScrewUP FeedEx do Something = ScrewUP

FeedEx hav deliver 4 times at my place this month........All of it get returned badly damaged.

[Radar]

Get rid of the pop rivets haha

[Cooper]

Glad to see see you got it,
I'm getting sorted with this house and wedding party thing,,,


Man shipping damage!! That sucks!!

[Northern Farmer]

That's messed up bloody transports! Hope everything gets sorted out for you.

[Doggy]

Too bad for bad transport, but I belive its easy fix. I had similar problems shipping laser cut 1mm sheet metals for my trailer. And i decided to use 2mm next time:D

But this thing looks massive! It will look great after paint. I want a beast like that in my life :eek:

[bigford]

the blade on the other lowboy

[Radar]

Man just the blade looks huge it looks like a great load for that lowboy

[bigford]

I HATE rivets LOL!!!

[Bo Wallen]

The blade weight should be 35.000-55.000lb 1/1 Right ?

[JAMMER]

Hello bigford did do anything with Fedup about the shipping or did you just let it go? I would think you should at least get some money back on the shipping. It's a shame you pay all that money and you get it all tore up before you get it. I was thinking about one of those my self but after seeing what you got I think I will pass. Ed

[bigford]

chris from BB put a claim in and there making replacement parts for me
he is a real cool guy to deal with.

Great Models Friend :-)

[Rvjimd]

Cooper, at the show this weekend, did I hear you telling Steve or someone else that the dirt likes to get stuck between the grouser and the pad in front of it? On my little Oliver it does exactly that. I should have took a few close ups of your machine. Do you have a build thread here with a good pic of the track pads?

I'm thinking about machining a few prototype track pads and want to try to reduce the dirt problem if possible. Wonder if the grouser could be moved back a bit?

Mark, could you tell me where you ordered you motors and what the part number is?

Nice to see you both at the show!

Jim, originally I had pretty close clearance between the track pads, grousers didn't push too much into them. Titandigs was the one who told me I need more space between the pads. Like 1.5-2mm would be good. That's about the size of dirt particles / sand that like to wedge in between and causes them to arch up. As he said like a scared cat!! I ended up machining a bit more off them and that helped. Like mark said I think somewhere in that build thread I talk about it more.
The conversation I was talking to Steve at show was more towards having dirt pile up onto tracks from pushing or turning too sharp and it gets packed into the links from the road wheels and then the sprocket. Similar to someone running in a quarry, a good operator will take caution not to allow rocks to roll into tracks while pushing or turning. It's hard on the 1:1 machines and it binds up the tracks on our 1:14 machines. I was just referring to the links that are in contact with ground. Making a wider gap between shoes has helped with the arch in tracks. Don't know if you noticed but every once and a while I would put blade and ripper down , lift the dozer and run tracks. With that loose , dry dirt at the show that would usually loosen any packed dirt in the chain links and keep me able to get back to pushing. In wet dirt the tracks load up more from pushing too much and spinning the tracks. That's when they sometimes arch up. But once they rotate once it's usually resolved.
Wish I would have gotten more time to talk to ya, I always end up having a blast running the toys. :).

[dozerbuilder]

Cooper, I've been following this build with great interest because I'm thinking of getting one for my next build instead of a "total build" like my 1/16th Russian T-800. Watching your tracks in the vids, have you tried the walking gear around the other way?. Because the the grouser bar is actually mean't to "lead" the grouser plate, not follow. You may find that makes a lot of difference in the walking gear. She's lookin good.

Default Re: New Dozer from Premacon thread



If you used a Dimension Engineering 60Amp dual motor controller and PWM to run those big wiper motors and set the ramping up using their DEScribe software via the mini-USB cord from your computer to the motor controller and tuned the motor controller and the wiper motors it would.


anybody know about doing this???

Is it possible to get in contact with the owners of barebones as I would like to purchase one of their machines
Thank you

[paranoia]

I love it, can I buy it? I mean it.

[jimkidmotorsports]

yah for$ 5000.00 and its worth more

[jimkidmotorsports]

hay i have 2 of those motors he used for sale cheap jim

[bigford]

Yeah good luck with that. The d11 needs a ton of
Work to get running. I had a friend build me the gear
Reductions. Next the road wheels and idlers need to
Be machined with bushings or bearings in them.
The front wheel has no tensioner on it so the tracks
Can pop off. Your better off buying the smaller rc4wd
Dozer.

Sounds more like MissingBones than BareBones.
