Yup, same thing, bit the bullet and bought one of those models, scaled off of it. Also various pics, company brochure , and shop manuals. Pics from Mario will help. (Would be nice if cat would give me access to detailed manufactuering blueprint) blahhhhahahah

R W you might want to take a look here too. On page 17 there's a three view drawing of your truck. Load it on a zip drive and take it to your local copy center and have it enlarged so the axle wheel base is 14.571 and you'll have a drawing you can measure strait off of.
Good luck, she's going to be big!!! 32.5 L x 16" H x 19" W http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/content/Caterpillar/C637177 |

Well I wasn't sure about power of the gearhead motors I got, so I got some new ones in mail, they are .55horsepower each. They should move it fully loaded
![]() Steve, thanks for the kaydon bearings, they are the slim type I was looking for, but,,,,, those little suckers are $100 or more for one!! Changed my ideas around on the axles to suit more practice bearings. I have almost 6" between rear tires and duel wheels spread almost 5" so plenty of room to hide motors/support bearings and anything else in rear axle. I also thought about 1:5 and 1:8 scale gas RC trucks rear differentials but I'm thinking they are even small for this!! And the gearhead motors I am getting have a 1/2" shaft, 1 1/2" long. Keyed and end hole tapped on shaft. That will make a really solid set up for removing load from motor shaft to the truck axle.

This thing is going to be almost 3' long, 18" wide and with dump bed raised almost 32" tall. This may be on the limits of what I can comfortably carry around. !!!! One thing about this is it is a fast mover compared to the dozer, as long as it's is running I'll be using it to move me possibly!!!! I'm just guessing here but I imagine it should be able to haul about a five gallon bucket of material. Should be built to support 80 pound load or more.

And don't forget the battery weight and size. Probably going to need a good sized one for decent run time. Or maybe wire up a whole bunch of those lipos you got should work.
![]() I'd hate to see you strain your back carrying the beast. Better build a tow cart or something for behind the ATV? ![]() |

Good idea Bo, but mr nutters has moved onto another worksite, he now works for the forestry department
![]() Well I know I got the pigment right this time. And I mixed for 1 min, immediately poured and had the mold slightly unlevel, tapped mold, basically did everything I could to eliminate the air. Time will tell, about two hours and I get to see if hero or zero!!! ![]()
