Cat'ish Stahl Dozer
I wont drag you thru a buildthread that most of you may have seen over at scale4x4.
In short - here's what a poorly built, hidious painted dozer has become after a total teardown, paintstipping and rebuild. A "rollbar" and AC unit has been added Another idea that popped up in my head the other day: Warning!! Tiny stuff Painted and installed Last edited by Ole; 09-14-2010 at 07:16 AM. Reason: øøøæææ |

Re: Cat'ish Stahl Dozer
Pretty cool! I enjoyed that video, both the truck driving around, and then the dozer at work. Dan

Is that sand you are running in?

Re: Cat'ish Stahl Dozer
It brings a tear to my eye that you let the 870 go already, but seeing your fine handywork once again on another model is cheering me up a bit.

Re: Cat'ish Stahl Dozer
Thanks all
Thanks Scott. Yes - that's sand with a lot of filler(very very fine particles), which again holds a lot of moisture. Holds shapes very well, but gets very compact. Quote:
About the 870, and me selling it. I looooved that machine for its stance and power. I disliked the extra planning/effort needed to get it around. Since these machines are a hobby to me, i.e. far down on the "what's important in my life" list, I have no problems what so ever to adjust my "inventory" at any time. Also - One thing gone, usually means something new to build is coming Last edited by Ole; 09-16-2010 at 05:46 AM. |

Re: Cat'ish Stahl Dozer
I was just yanking your chain about the 870 Ole , I know you prefer to build 'em, as it shows in the many detailed projects you've done to date.
I sure hope the JD850 fits thru the window opening, as I don't care to cart it up/down the stairs. |

Re: Cat'ish Stahl Dozer
Ole, she looks great. I must have missed the thread which showed what it originally looked like. Can ya post any pictures of before your paint job and custom work? I really like the roll bar you fabricated for it, adds a really nice touch.
