D9R and 463 pull scraper

[D8R]

Joe, can´t wait see it in action. What´s the weight of the D9? Do you have a pic on that leather sweep and will you put in some similar in the apron?
Sorry for all question but you are running into problems that I could expect to happen with my models, guess I just sitt and wait for you to solve it, just kidding!
It´s project like this one and others on this forum that keeps myself trying to get something done,
hat of, I ´m impressed.

Thanks guys, the dozer is 97 lbs. Dan. I'll try and get a pic on the leather strip up soon. Not sure what I'm going to do on the apron yet, probly play with a few things.

Still running some numbers on the next build, Henry but I have narrowed my options to 2 machines. Now just got to deside which one.

Awwww well i bet i know the 2 choices 6 tires or tracks that pivot lol

Joe, I would like to do a blade but the tire thing keeps blowing out of the water. Also thought about a 988 loder, just need tires.
I just ran a few numbers on a 385 trackhoe, it would be HUGE AT 63'' in length with the boom folded up and set on the ground. It would look ever so cool. So I'm not sure what to do, besides I told my self after faking so much on the scraper that the next thing I build, I will have all the pics I need in order to do it right. There aren't any around here to get enough pics of.


I have a big yard but I also have a big mean wife that would kick me in the pants. So I wont be digging any pools. lol (just kidding honey if your read this)

lol good thing you were kiding other wise ITS THE LIVEING ROOM PAL or the shop ethir one lol
