building bulldozer help

[Efroeh]

Hello fellow members,
I've been throwing around the idea of building a dozer for myself. I am by no means a machinist or have any machines to help with it ( mill or lathe) just basic hand tools and lots of time for trial and error. what I am concerned is if its possible to build hydraulic rams from scratch with basic hand tools? Also is there a place to buy the rollers that would be needed for the tracks? Also is there a place to purchase the chain from? I seen some amazing builds on this site from everything being hand built and it amazes me how some of you can build this. And by no means do I expect anything close to some of these builds but I would like one that can actually move some dirt and enjoy. Or should I go a simpler route and run actuonix (fergeli) actuators for the blade and ripper? Any advice or links would be greatly appreciated.
Also I could go a simpler route with buying a dozer from rc4wd I have the excavator already is a decent machine for the money, But there's nothing like building something that's in your head and can use.
Any advice would be appreciated good or bad.
Thanks,
Evan
