Nice paint!! Will be kind of sad to see it all marked up when you start using it

Can't wait to see what flavor that paint is! :P

or is this a new style dozer with a ripper in the front

I put them on like the manual shows and like my track loader has them installed. IDK! My grousers are more in the center of the pad so you have to go buy the direction of the pad. I will look at work tomorrow to see if I did it right.

I am waiting on some more hyd fittings for the loader as well as the dozer so I will be back at building trucks this weekend and it may just get a little trashy.

[td9clyde]

[modelman]

Nice looking dozer-I like the color.

[fhhhstix]

Well the tracks were on backwards so I turned them around since the old guy at work noticed it right off and said Mr Stahl's manual is wrong. I am now just waiting on two T's for the tilt cylinders and with them I will be ready for a test run. I did get a chance to drive it tonight before I started running hyd lines and I am real happy with the Saber tooth ESC, very smooth and easy to control.

Thanks Nate but I have some update pics of the paint since I changed my mind a bit.

No I used CAT yellow in the spray bomb. I do put heat on the parts to speed up drying which also seams to make the paint a little more durable.

Hinge made for the cab.







I also looked at a lot of the dozers at work and some had yellow cabs and some had black cabs. I decided I liked the black better so here are the updated pics.







Thanks for looking.

I like the black cab better too. Looks good. A dozer Kit is on my wish list for the future after seeing yours. Nice job on the paint!
