a quick update.
the dozer has been stripped and I have made tensioners for the tracks.
just a tube inside the track body with some heavy springs, seems to work nicely.
made up some brass wheels and these need bearings fitted, but for testing a bolt will work short term.
also widened the the track body by 30mm for some extra clearance form the body to avoid rocks getting jammed between tracks and pannel work.
also modified the blade and made some new arms for the blade.
next i will redo the tracks with some new pads.
then it will all be stripped again and sand blasted and a new paint job.
later on I will replace the rams with faster acting ones.
its 4:50 in the morning so that will do for now.

cheers andy
