Default Power leveler,& Steiger build

Since I sold my dozer,now I need something to make & smooth rds on the site.So this is my version of a power rack.










Then just had to take er out side for a couple of pics.


Since she was outside in the dirt for a round of pics.Might as well do a vid.

I can't wait to get the wheels on er,so I can control the depth.
Thanks for lookin!

Any photos of the Steiger? Did you do it the same as the Ford? I know they are basically the same tractor with different engines but I love the Steiger soooo much more!

Thanks Guys!
Yea Brian,it puts me back 5 yrs in time when I run this thing.
Steve,funny you should mention a rock hound,that was what I was going to make first.Now it looks like it will be second.
Spudd,I'm on #5 wheel kit so far.Everytime I make one,it winds up in the scrap pile,& I start over. Just can't seem to get it the way I want.But # 6 will be the keeper!
Cossett,she might be little,But it works as good as the $10,000 dollor units I used in the 1:1 side of things.
Ok Claus! Here's the build thread.
This is my version of the Steiger changing into something usefull.
First the toy!

Down to the bones.

First butch in the diffs.

Now this one is getting Lead,every where I can hide it.




This one gets a little different drive line.




More lead!

Now the electical part.

On it's way back.




Well the only thing left,is the engine,tires & wheels & paint.
Thanks for lookin!
FGD

Nice work on both pieces of equipment, Fred. You did a nice job stuffing the inards of the Steiger. The power leveler seems to work really well. So how heavy do you suppose your Steiger is now? And what kind of battery pack are you running on it?

Why the change of drivetrain? Is one better than the other or is it more about your tractor's personal space?

Is there anything that grinds up the dirt other than the hex bar.

Tractor conversion looks good also. What size is it and where can one be purchased?

Here you go Ken, your choice of duals or singles.

Fred I have two Steigers myself, would love to see one of them converted someday. I have been wondering about a set of Stainless Chem Farm fertilizer tanks mounted to the front to mount the batteries leaving more room in the tractor for maybe a 3 speed.
