CASE dozer by ERTL
Hello together!
I want to show you some pictures of my "new" dozer. A good friend made the millied parts in his workshop. Thanks a lot for this wonderful job, Frank! http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/file...0h-r9-6593.jpg http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/file...0h-ra-9b00.jpg http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/file...0h-rb-4894.jpg regards Frank |
Re: CASE dozer by ERTL
Nicely done! What tracks & sprockets are you using? They seem familiar but don't recall from where.

Re: CASE dozer by ERTL
The sprockets and tracks are from http://www.veroma-modellbau.eu/startseite.html
But the track width is a bit smaller as the original. That was done on a milling machine by my buddy... |

Looking great Frank!

Re: CASE dozer by ERTL
Nice Job, I am also looking at a conversion of ERTL Dozer, they are all diecast and heavey, perfect for a dozer.

Re: CASE dozer by ERTL
Those tracks are plastic but you can get metal ones that look just like those on Ebay that are metal from a place om Canada. Ed

Re: CASE dozer by ERTL
When the model is finished I´ll see how strong ist is. On the one hand I can add more weight, on the oter hand it would be helpful to fix a 5x5 millimeter L-profile on the tracks to get more grip.

Re: CASE dozer by ERTL
what motor did you use. i coveted on couple years ago. i used 90 degree gear boxes but keep striping gears.

Re: CASE dozer by ERTL
I use RB-motors with a ratio of 75:1. If they are not strong enough I´ll take the 100:1.

Re: CASE dozer by ERTL
Some steps ahead...
The rear pasrt of the body is fixed by just one screw behind the seat. The front of the hood is fixed by the two bolts. The gap of the bolts is adjusted to the thickness of the front part of the hood, so they are hidden behind the frontgrill... http://www.modelltruck.net/attachmen...2&d=1486062834 http://www.modelltruck.net/attachmen...3&d=1486062858 http://www.modelltruck.net/attachmen...4&d=1486062938 http://www.modelltruck.net/attachmen...5&d=1486062970 http://www.modelltruck.net/attachmen...6&d=1486063038 The paintshop is coming closer... :p |
