It never ceases to amaze the quality of the engineering carried out by some of the members here and this is no exception

Amazing workmanship and attention to detail very well done

With that new ROPS and new tanks it smells Cat allover!
Looking good. Wish my boss was telling me to take some time off.

Very nice steve- Looks better with each picture. Great details! I really like the track system. Just like the "real deal".

[ihbuilder]

Thanks a bunch guys . It's not perfect , but close enough . 2nd time around on the cab . I still need to finish the welding .

I did some "temp" firgelli hook up to be able to use at Cabin Fever . As it turns out I may be able to get the firgellis to werk for the 6 way blade function . We'll see Here's a vid my lil girl took while I did some grading ( hate not having the 6 way functioning )

Now that's a build thread. Great work Steve. There's no substitute for machining skills like yours.

Yay, doin somethin for myself makin up the blade cylinders . Found some 4mm rod ends @ McM just had to mod them a bit

[td9clyde]

Nice work , you got this one going?

[ihbuilder]

Thanks Clyde, I'm using it but it's not done yet

Cylinders and related parts not quite done so back to firgelli lift for cabin fever . I did manage to fix the tracks ,now let's see if I can tear them apart again . Some of what I got done .









A lil slot in adjuster and a set screw to keep the front idlers straight.

Thanks Joe , I'm getting there . The big guy (TD40) goin back on the bench with it . I'm just figuring out the planetaries for the finals now that I know where I can get the parts (thanks Cooper) . Haven't seen you around in awhile

I found out you can't doo any welding in model with sabertooth in model so all the prep for cabin fever was for naught .

Steve-I was going to ask you if there was any video of your dozer working at Cabin Fever but I guess this answers my question. I Would like to see more of this model.

[ihbuilder]

A lil more











A few more lil parts then I can assemble

[Cooper]

Wow Steve!! Those cylinders look darn good, lot of time in them. Do you add a oring into screw on cap and just compression fit it. I never thought of making them like that. I may have to do that as long as I can get a little better at cutting inside threads.

[JAMMER]

Nice job on the cylinders Steve. Ed

[modelman]

Very nice brass work on the cylinders steve-I really like these older dozers. I would like to see someone build a cable dozer.
