Lou, I figured everyone is about tired of seeing the dozer just push some dirt around.

Oh! Sorry...That was my jaw flopped on the keypad. I'm new here, and only beginning to see a whole new world of crazy cool stuff. That is outstanding work! I'm kinda stunned...

RC racing has never really appealed to me, but heavy equipment? I know I don't have to tell you guys about that. RC Heavy equipment? I mean HEAVY rc heavy equipment...Words fail. Dan

Joe, i, for one never get tired of seeing anything you build. Can't wait to see the pans

[Espeefan]

Joe, I love this build. You guys building these Cat dozers make me wish I had the same level of skills. I'd build my own, if I could. Seems to me the hardest thing is to try and locate some good drawings. What do you work from, when you scale down and machine the parts? Blueprints, or service/part manuals? It looks so excat and perfect. Beautiful. Can't wait to see the scraper done too.

Thanks guys. Nathan, I went on Cat site and downloaded the brochure on the D9R and blew it up to 1/10 scale and downloaded a whole bunch of pics off the net and went to building. Had a hard time trying to find the pics I needed for the scraper's rearend so I more or less faked it. I do most of my building by eye, which is steadly becoming a problem. This is the first time I ever attemped anything like this so it has been a learning experience from the word go.

Hi Joe...Thanks for the note over on U-tube..Yes the motors are very silent..Now if I could just find a winch motor that is as silent insead of that noisey thing that is in there now..

I did get a guy to haul in 2 loads of yellow clay ( 20 yards plus ) so now I have better stuff to push around and it is just outside my shop..Been bus building a locomotive for a public display so haven't had much time to play around...Maybe tomorrow I can get a photo or two..

The D9 and scraper are awsome...Love to see it load some dirt..

nice machines

[dirtpusher9]

Thanks Jerry and Ace. Glad to here you have your own dirt pile to play in Jerry, there's nothing like going and just hogging some material around with the miniature equipment.

Well I had said that I might have some pics up this weekend, however I had a semi major malfunction. I was just fixin to put a final coat of paint on the neck of the scraper and broke the soldier joint on the top of the neck that was a hinge to open the neck up to hide hydraulics in when I was going to make the scraper a self contained unit. When it broke that little part of the joint I decided to tare it completely off and weld it solid to the rest of the neck. Because I had done away with the idea of hiding the components in there anyway. So needless to say all that grinding and welding messed up a bunch off the neck paint so it set me back. But I think it looks better now anyway. I should have never trust my soldiering skills in the first place , not a strong suit of mine. lol

[td9clyde]

well i would look at it like this better now than later ........at least i know when your done it will look good and you will let us have a peek lol
