Mini- Dozer

[RAWINOK2]

Hello,
I am new to this sight.
My latest welding project is a mini-dozer similar to the ones found at www.struckcorp.com.
I just thought I'd share it with you.
I am putting the final touches on it now.

That is very neat, I've seen different versions of doing this, some with old cub cadets. Do you have any photos of your drivetrain?

It has a 16 HP engine and I don't know the weight yet.

Was this built by request or just something for yourself? Are there any plans to build implements? Very cool!

Cute. You need to add CAT stickers and a "D 1/8" on the side.

brings back memories. my dad built one of those kits about 45 years ago--had a 7 hp techumseh 4 stroke for power. it was a nice project but not too usable at that time.

You should be able to buy the plans. I found plans for the smaller MD-45/55/65 on the web with dimensions for everything.

Did you build chain for tracks our buy it ? Real nice like to see it in use good job. What is your background have you built other things like this before.

Thats it damnnit..no more projects 4 me.....i'm not even going back to my shop, atter of fact , my shopi s getting converted ck into a patio......just kidding, I'll never stop building junk from junk with junk. Too much fun. Wish I had your patience though......really nice job. Fantastic.

[allfluxedup]

that was spoda be "matter of fact" and "back into a patio" too busy dreamin bout tractors and dozers and such to bother typing.

[Oldscule]

Awsome build. Wish I had the patience for that major of a project.

[Aquafire]

WOW!!! Beautiful work. Did you do a blog or step-by-step pictorial as you went? I'd love to read more about the build process.

Very nice work, looks fantastic.

I agree with others above, put some stickers on it (maybe have some made to scale).

Awesome.
