D9R and 463 pull scraper

[dirtpusher9]

That just ain't right Travis. A man shouldn't have to work like that. I guess I'm spoiled being in a 140h with ac all the time.

Send some of that heat/sunshine here plz, I should be harvesting by now, not wearing a raincoat.

Looking forward to the videos of these pair working in tandem Joe.

[Lil Giants]

Yeah, the builder of the model always gets the short end of the money tree.

Hi D9joe-thanks for letting my know about the new site!

[dirtpusher9]

It wouldn't be the same without you Tom.

[td9clyde]

Glad to see your workin on your pan more but i am like you i don't do much in the heat lol been hot here too the ts 14 has made a lil progress not much since my equipment went down i am in the market again for a 3 in 1 tool lol

[dirtpusher9]

What happened Henry? Did you ever get the dozer all finished?

[dirtpusher9]

Got to work a little today on a small new project for the dozer, should have some pics in a day or so.

[dirtpusher9]

Well we had a cool front (under 100) blow in, so I (sweat-ed) worked in the shop a couple of days
.
Most of you know that When I built my dozer I made a winch for it that looks like this.

Well, since I'm building a scraper I thought it would look better if I built the detail on the back of the dozer and made a drawbar to pull the pan with. I still need to make the hitch and a few other little details but I think it will look a lot better this way. Been wanting to put the detail on it since I built it so now was a good time.

I hoping it will resemble this when complete.

Hey joe- nice work! The only problem is that we never got to see you "jerkin" on anything with that winch! I bet that dozer & winch could pull up a small tree stump!

[td9clyde]

i sheared a drive or something lol or gear there are chuncks of something in there lol

[td9clyde]

oh yea and no the dozer isn't done i am still needing to buy esc's and radio and batteries lol i did get the 82-30 on the side of the hood looks almost done

[dirtpusher9]

Thanks for the kind words Dan. It took 2.4 years rainouts and weekends to build. it seems like I've been working on the scraper that long too.

Joe one of the reasons they contacted you because I kept bugging them about the 1/12 scale they were sappiest to have and kept telling them about your. O well can't say I didn't try. Sorry it didn't work out. Ed

[dirtpusher9]

Not following you ED????????

[JAMMER]

I kept calling them and asking about there 1/12 scale dozer and they said it wasn't done yet. I told them that they should go on you tube and see dirtpusher9 video that dozer could push some dirt for a model. I also said Cat had contacted them about you and your dozer and if they did work out a deal on it I sure would want one and I know a number of guys that would want one. Ed

Joe that draw bar looks great nice work.

[dirtpusher9]

Thank you, Paul.

Rob, with the 20% for the model company, they give there distributers a 10% discount.
