Fred, kind of curious how you bolt the axles up. I can't see any sign of how you do it. I can only guess you have an angle bracket that screws to the side of the die-cast model, and then the axles bolt to the bottom channel? That's how I'd do it, anyway.

That's great work, but I don't know why you want to move a little dirt at a time insted of buying my dozer and srcaper and doing it right. I'll make you a good deal.

Look at the 4 screws in the stock mounts right above the axles.

Travis
One hole in the frame, but the axles have two? Were the axles holes slotted? New holes drilled? Or just shimmied around until one hole lined up?

Nate I would say Freddy just drilled new holes where he needed them. The black Tamiya plastic (I think it is ABS) holds threads really well. I hope this helps.

Thanks Guys!
Claus,I like to try different drive configurations,till I find the keeper.
Espeefan,My flippin scale is boxed up somewhere,& don't have a way to weigh er now. I will tell you it's a lot heavier than when I first took er out of the box.
Travis Thanks!
Joe! This is perfect with you owning the dozer.You can do the rough grade,& I'll do the finish grade. Plus gives us a good reason to get together,get some gradin done,Then have acouple of pops to celebrate a job well done!
Ken,there is a little more inside the preseeder,but for some reason my camera didn't want to work right for that part of the build.
Well.....It only took 6 shots at the wheel kit Till I could post it up for you boys to see.
Here's what I came up with.



Then of course,the vid!

Can't wait to see how this baby works now!
Hopefully,the ground will be dry enough to but er to work today.
Wanted to giv'er a shot yesterday,but it's been rainin for the last couple of days,& it's all mud.
But! Today,sunny & hot!
Thanks for lookin!

Freddy the rear wheel setup looks pretty good on there. I can't wait to see what she does now that you can change the grade. Next you need to install a plow on the front of her so you can start plowing snow this winter.

Wow, that power leveler looks fantastic, with the addition of the rear lift wheels. Even if you work with the more basic tools, you still manage to crank out some incredible looking, and functional models.

Freddy looks like the tractor is doing great. It's amazing how well that power leveler works even on the larger dirt.
