Default cat D6T 6 way blade

This started as a Izzy dozer which got me some of the base components .
somewhat how it started


tractor almost finished with the mods , still a ton to doo .






I made a ripper for it









next the blade assembly













now I did go a lil crazy on detail here







There's a thickened plate welded inside for threading where the top link attaches and the ball socket will attach .

You are a fantastic engineer!

Nice work on this dozer, it should also perform well being so heavy, dozers need good ground weight for tractive force

Very nice, I will follow this build

Looks like you were doing some heavy pushing already judging by the bent grousers. The attachments look great as usual and I don't want you to take this the wrong way but is it bad that I am more intrigued by what might be in the background? I know you are sitting on another set of expensive tires so I am guessing this will be their home?....

Keep up the great work! Starting on a dozer very soon myself so this helps me get motivated.

I wanted to get this lower (ball joint) done before starting a run of wheels but bizz iz bizz . So finally , last night and tonight ( about an hr each ) it's done










yea, a lil chatter on the 1 piece ( screwed up feeds & speeds ) it'll sand out . I did it in 2 setups with a manual face off on the back side . Next pic shows firgelli , only a temp rig up for this wknd .

Hi steve-I am always impressed by you and 9w making parts from steel. I can't do that!!! I just ruin tooling. I guess that is the difference in a machinist and a backyard-hacker. Guess I will stick with brass and aluminum. Your dozer looks good and I am sure it will work good.

Default Re: cat D6T 6 way blade

I did get some crappy phone vids with the phone in the cab and some machining parts . but I might not live long enough till they upload


Any how , the boss told me to take time for myself so I finished up the bosses on the blade ( tilt and angle ) . I'm trying new software , so it's a pleasant go so far compared to the hobby grade package I started with

angle boss model



parts



yes i doo doo some manual machining, simple hole



spot welded in place



tilt boss model



part I kinda like the plasma cut look . A lil filing or sanding and it disappears



spot welded in place




outside pushin

Thanks Chris , we got a couple runnin around here . Picking up steel yesterday at surplus yard yesterday there was 1 cleaning up the pipliner's mess I almost got close enough to see how cat connects the lift cylinders while 4 guys in hard hats changing the cutting edges ( 1 doing the werk and 3 BSin ) gave me a funny look . proly thought I was gona yell at em for werkin under the blade with no support (idiots ) If dad caught me doin that back in the day . anyhow , I'm just improvising

I worked on the tank and ROP this weekend . I didn't fuss on the inside of the tank , not that it will be seen .













the holes in the center are for spot welding


I need to cut the bolt plates for the bottom of the ROPS then tig em on like the mating plates on the tank .

Looking good Steve. This should definitely add some weight for traction too!
