welcome Neil I would love to just get to see 1 in person myself (some day ) I finally got to see a d11 next to a 785 haul truck :eek: that thing is big . I got to get on a td-They put on a little demo show where customers could come and try the various equipment . Well I kinda ticked some old timers off there being that I could not drive legally but could operate as good as them :confused: I'll be going the 2 2 speed motor route once I get a hold of another . I have since put my equipment on the shelf for now till I get more parts and get my hydros working + I got some trucks to finnish 1 I really want to get going now with all thats been going on :p Quote:

Re: dresser TD40B dozer
Hey Steve, I had a brain cramp last night. I forgot that the drill's shift, like riding lawn mower's, so back to the drawing board for 2 speed steering!

Re: dresser TD40B dozer
Wow :eek: this has been awhile :eek:as much dust on the thread as the dozer :eek: I'm putting my highway trucks on hold for awhile to get some machines (Yes the scrapers too ;)) running now that I got the ability to machine more of the parts I need :D . Soo , today getting mtrls for customers , I fond my drivetrain :) . As you all know I was going to use 1 motor with a diff and brakes to steer :rolleyes: , Well I gave that up to KISS :confused::rolleyes:. I got 2 .375 cordless rightangle impact wrenches ( good price I think :confused: ) Now just to get some help somewhere with production :confused:

Re: dresser TD40B dozer
me nether Henry ;) Getting to see Joe's D9 at cabin fever got me raiding scrap piles for mtrl to get this running :o I've got my track frames and tracks figured out and mostly cut out while doing other stuff . I just put my expensive employee on it :p He just needs some supervision at times :rolleyes: Playing with some settings on my crapy cam , I took some shots to see if I did any better :o
outer piece cut out of a cummins 903 cover plate :o http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...r/PIC_1803.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...r/PIC_1781.jpg http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...r/PIC_1793.jpg caught 1 of the employee cutting the matching inner piece http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...r/PIC_1796.jpg 2nd inner piece http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/z...r/PIC_1796.jpg I did a vid of me multi tasking but It'll take for ever to up load . I don't think many will want to watch a mill and lathe work for 25 min :o |

Re: dresser TD40B dozer

Re: dresser TD40B dozer

Re: dresser TD40B dozer
had these parts drawn and ready for cuttin for a couple months :eek: Well after seeing Ari's excavator tracks , I just had to mill a few pieces in aluminum just to see if all will werk according to plan ;) So far so good with a few lil tweeks before I load a piece of .25" plate in the mill push green button and go to bed ( well , not that easy :rolleyes: ) In steel , it werks out to be about 84hrs to get a complete set of tracks :eek: For those that are wondering why the big hole on 1 side of the like , it gets a bushing . I'm making these like a real set . I just need to make a scale track press :eek: oh and a tapping head for the mill :eek:

Re: dresser TD40B dozer
Those picture show up better here than the ones you text me. You may want to open the center slots up some to clear dirt easier.

Re: dresser TD40B dozer
"Ya goin for a set of SALT tracks?"

Re: dresser TD40B dozer
now thats whatr i call a set of tracks!!!!!!! atleast someone is making them like the real thing i have been pondering on how to make those and the sprocket is awsome!!!!!!! takes alot of time to build but it will be worth it when your done for the detail factor keep up the great work
|
Re: dresser TD40B dozer
Nice work steve-I'm guessing you have more ideas running thru that head of yours than you will ever get built.:D But that's great-Do it while you can!!
|
Re: dresser TD40B dozer
Those tracks look fantastic. Too bad they take so long to make.
|
Re: dresser TD40B dozer
Hey, Steve! Sprockets are top-notch. First ones' I've seen with proper tip configuration. Pads and rails looking great - did pads start life as a flat or T-bar? Keep up the good work!
