welcome Neil I would love to just get to see 1 in person myself (some day ) I finally got to see a d11 next to a 785 haul truck that thing is big . I got to get on a td-They put on a little demo show where customers could come and try the various equipment . Well I kinda ticked some old timers off there being that I could not drive legally but could operate as good as them I'll be going the 2 2 speed motor route once I get a hold of another . I have since put my equipment on the shelf for now till I get more parts and get my hydros working + I got some trucks to finnish 1 I really want to get going now with all thats been going on

Wow this has been awhile as much dust on the thread as the dozer I'm putting my highway trucks on hold for awhile to get some machines (Yes the scrapers too ) running now that I got the ability to machine more of the parts I need . Soo , today getting mtrls for customers , I fond my drivetrain . As you all know I was going to use 1 motor with a diff and brakes to steer , Well I gave that up to KISS . I got 2 .375 cordless rightangle impact wrenches ( good price I think ) Now just to get some help somewhere with production

me nether Henry Getting to see Joe's D9 at cabin fever got me raiding scrap piles for mtrl to get this running I've got my track frames and tracks figured out and mostly cut out while doing other stuff . I just put my expensive employee on it He just needs some supervision at times Playing with some settings on my crapy cam , I took some shots to see if I did any better

outer piece cut out of a cummins 903 cover plate





caught 1 of the employee cutting the matching inner piece



2nd inner piece


I did a vid of me multi tasking but It'll take for ever to up load . I don't think many will want to watch a mill and lathe work for 25 min

had these parts drawn and ready for cuttin for a couple months Well after seeing Ari's excavator tracks , I just had to mill a few pieces in aluminum just to see if all will werk according to plan So far so good with a few lil tweeks before I load a piece of .25" plate in the mill push green button and go to bed ( well , not that easy ) In steel , it werks out to be about 84hrs to get a complete set of tracks For those that are wondering why the big hole on 1 side of the like , it gets a bushing . I'm making these like a real set . I just need to make a scale track press oh and a tapping head for the mill









thanks for looking

Hey, Steve! Sprockets are top-notch. First ones' I've seen with proper tip configuration. Pads and rails looking great - did pads start life as a flat or T-bar? Keep up the good work!

It's a shame komatsu took them over completely back in the early 90's then went to drestta then the chi's got them none of our Dressers/IH 's have cummins in them (D/DT239) .

thanks Henry there are others doing a gret job , we all werk with what we have available to us . detail is great , but function is more important 1st . I've pondered back and forth on welding t-bar to offset links or milling them . well my eyes are getting worse and I got the vmc for production work ,so why not use it for my stuff to .

thanks Ken , I kind of went off the track pitch and the dia of the spocket on the sales broshure , The tip config is very important to the functon of the tracks , too much u they stick too little they slip too square or pointy of a tip they catch . ever watch a worn out sprocket go from pointy tips to slipping in 8 Hrs

well I rethunk doing all at once tieing up the mill for days I'm just going to run a few at a time when the mill is at idle . got a loader to finish and others stuff
