OK, so this thing might as well have been a scratch build... I seriously doubt it would have cost much more and probably would have only taken twice as long to build. Having said that I am starting to think that this may be the most rugged looking example of this particular type of Bruder dozer.

I spent some more time on this tonight and it's starting to take shape now. I have the lower part of the blade mounted to the c frame and the c frame mounted to the Cat. While I was at it I decided that the blade was too narrow so I added 1/2" to the middle. Not a big deal, although I wish I had done it right the first time. Once I had that to my liking I milled up the guarding on the top and welded it on.

Let me know what you think!

This is sweet Reg! How did I miss this until now?!!

A million times more real with the metal tracks and other additions!

Great job!,

Reg,
Guarding and blade assembly turned out nice. It's the little things by way of detail that breaths life into what was a toy. Very well done.

Cheers

Paul

Hey John! Good to see you're still around here! I'm not sure exactly but if there was a demand I would make the parts. How's the popcorn supply this time of year???

I am slowly trying to rid this thing of the "earth touching plastic". I got 50mm actuators for all four positions but I have discovered that 30mm ones would have worked better on the blade so I will need to get those before I finish it up. Lots of other work to do yet though so stay tuned!

Here's a couple videos of it pushing! I still need to add the cutting edges to the blade so I think it will work pretty well in loose soil considering how wet and heavy the sand was in video 1.

Nice job Reg, the blade looks great. Some day when I get around to doing my D5 I might have to talk to you about tracks.

I finally took the time to make the steel cutting edge for the blade today.

Maybe it started as a 4hr build but since Reg blamed me for the inspiration....again.... I think this should be called the 4 day dozer maybe?

Looks great Reg! Just when I was happy with what I had you create this!

Haha, It's definitely not a 4 hour project anymore that's for sure. For those that have expressed an interest, I am going to build one for someone and see how it goes for cost + time, then I will come up with a solid price. I have ordered all the parts for it so I will be putting it together(with some changes/updates) soon. I will keep everyone up to date as I make progress.

Here's a bit more video of mine working. So far I am quite impressed with it considering it's only about 6lbs!
