I might could Lou, but I won't. I beleive I'll leave the stunt blading to someone else. I have had them in some pretty wicked binds before. Brought down a 1.9 to 1 slope one time, riding the slope not with the blade run out to the side. But I was carring a nice big windrow to hold me up there.:cool:

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

Hey Joe are you holding out on us or just taking a break...Do you have your next build all researched and is it going to be !/14 scale?
Hey you know that we are running out of good quality reading material ..lol

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

Still not sure on the next build but it will probobly be 1/10 scale.

Been working on another cylinder design lately and looking for a job.

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

I thought you had a job prospect.

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

I do, I have several but they are tied up in red ink and won't start till after the 1st. of the year. I ready now, so I just keep finding more prospects.

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

Ya Joe like they use to tell me it's a job of course they don't have to go there. Ed

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

I'm really hopping things turn around after the 1st , we got some potential on lot residential septic systems for the spring . this down turn could've waited 2 years for me then I'd be in a better situation . oh well gota deal with the cards dealt to us :(

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

Hey Joe and Steve I am very happy for both of you on the jobs that great news now you can gripe about not having enough time to work on models. Ed:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

Hi Joe,

Nice...

Love watching it on YT the power of it seems amazing... would love to see more information on the build? Did you ever detail the build of the D9 any where?

Thanks
Elliot

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

Thanks Elliot. I had most of the build on a site that went belly up and lost every bit of it but would give you any info that you would like.

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

I assume that was the "garden" forum. That's a shame. Its not really important, just it looked such a nice powerful scratch built model that I fancied having a read...

Having just ordered my dumper I should have my hands full for a little bit, but will be in contact if I need any other info... thanks.

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

Hello
Impressive model you did.
Very cool!

Best
Jonathan

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

Hi Joe, any news about your models, still own by you? Did it settled with the new work. It´s was a pitty when all info from the old forum got lost, so much info that can be useful for everyone starting up a new project.

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

Thank you, Jonathan.

I still have dozer and scraper no big rush to sell it but it is for sell, don't ever play with it anyway. I need to start another project.

I wasn't very happy with the way that the garden shut down but there wasn't anything I could do about it.

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

we could shure use some new video's or pics.......................i did get to run my dozer with a radio finnally lol Travis let use his batteries and wired up both sabertooth speed controlers it was cool to see it run on it's own , now we just need to get together sometime and show these fellas we can move dirt lol

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

Thats cool you ran it so where is the vid, Henry????

Been thinking about another video. But have to wait for better weather.

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

hey i saw your dozer on youtube a while back and wow... i, like everyone else, didn't know it wasn't the real thing at first. really awesome! i decided to post up here after not finding what i was looking for.

i am interested in doing a D11 - 1/16th scale, i want to power it using craftsman drills. would you be able to show me how you mounted yours? did you keep the 2 speed trans (if they had them)? did you use esc or the PWM's? did u remove the gear reduction that connects the tranny to the chuck? what drill did you use? how did you mount to hub? i am anxious to finish planning this build and start building. i highly doubt mine will come close to yours but as long as it functions. i need to put it to work in my yard. any info u have will be appreciated. Thanks!

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

I ran it the video is on my youtube channel and on like page 16 or 17 or 18 in my thread lol

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

Thanks for the kind words.

I hope you do build the 11. Here is the best pick I have of the motors and how I mounted them.
http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/f...rmounts001.jpg
I used the Craftsman 19.2 motors and planetarys. Had to cut off part of the planetary housing to mount them sideways. I did use the 2 speed trany, just haven't put the servo back in it, that shifts it. I used the Sabertooth 2x25, it only draws 6.34 amps after gearing down 4 to 1 of the factory gearing on the drill motors. I tact welded the hub on. Hope some of this helps. If you need anythimg ,just ask. Sorry for the late reply.

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

I saw your videos on youtube, a very good machine you have here. My father is a mechanic and just built and engine for a D9 a while ago.

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

Thank you Stewmeat, and welcome to the forum.

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

Rained out!!! WOOO HOOO!!!
It's been almost a year since I was able to do anything in the shop, that's entirely to long.
When I first built the dozer I put a winch on it and stripped the plastic gears in it pulling my riding lawn mower. I used a planetary and motor out of a cordless screwdriver and geared down some on top of that. I've been on the net trying to find some replacement gears and the only ones I found that would fit have been discontinued. So I need some suggestions on where to find some. In the first pic you can see they have a lot of wear on them. Trying not to have to redo the whole winch, so all the help you can give would be appreciated.

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

Steve most of the internal gears at Stock drive are out of stock and are too narrow for what Joe shows here. I tore a old air drill apart the other day and the gears in that may work here. I'll be using those gears for my planetary reductions on those RC4x4 axles I just bought.

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

Finally ,....the guy comes back and is workin on somethin in the shop glad to see you back on here and tinkerin

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

Your right Steve, they don't have anything.

Henry, some of us have to work long hours.lol Feels good to be back at it, even if it is for a short time.

Well I got tired of looking for the gears, so I'm in the process of building a planetary and putting a bigger motor on it. Now just gotta wait for more time in the shop.

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

I guess thats why I never get anything from them :confused: + I got a good place to scrounge at :rolleyes: sorry Joe :o Say what brand /size screw driver ? I'll look next time . they got a crap load of them Air, batt and corded . I fond my dozer motors there . They got 2 more that'll work for another build I got on the drawing board .

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

I have the planetary built and tested for my winch, so far so good. I'm ready to wire this thing up and I want to wire it to a proportional channel but I don't have an extra one. So my question is, can I put a ''Y'' servo lead and go to the same channel that my blade works off of and set it up as a different model on my radio where all I would have to do is switch model modes? Is that possible?

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

Joe if you have an extra two pos switch you can use this battle switch to run two servos independently from one proportional channel. Just Y off the channel to two servos and run the signal wires through the battle switch to interrupt the signal to one or the other.

Link to switch

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

I was going to go through an ESC and trying not to put any more stuff in there then I have to. All that wiring starts running together, for me anyway. That's a cool switch though.

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

You can Y harness an esc off any function on the radio and set it up like I described above or you can use an existing esc and use the battle switch to switch between two motors. I used one of those switches in Doug and Travis's to use one esc to control the up and down motor and bed extend motor with one ESC. Just some thoughts.

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

yea i know that feelin 10 to 12 hours a day 7 days a week been workin alot since April this year

Re: D9R and 463 pull scraper
 

Well, was messing with the dozer today and the hydraulics quit working so i checked everything out and the belt or band the connects the motor to the pump broke. So where do I find this at (Germany)?
