Mini Dozer

[massey 111]

Thanks Fireman.

Wallfish, if were to build another (which I don't foresee) I would explore using hydraulics like a zero turn has so the engine would just turn a hydraulic pump and you would have motors driving the tracks, then you could theoretically add cylinders for lift and angle, maybe add a small ripper for the back, yeah...that would be cool.

amcrules00, I haven't tried that yet, I was just having too much fun putting around.

sorekiwi, Thanks, and yeah I agree Terry's decals are the stuff.

Thanks meadowfield and Steve B., glad you like it.

DoctorHfuhruhhurr, I would have to respectfully decline that offer. Thanks for the compliment.

Again... what an awesome creation however I have to ask...where's the mud? :teasing-poke:

[HorseFixer 2,012]

Hypothetically; If someone offered you $4000 cash for it, would you sell? Inquiring minds want to know.

Very fine craftsmanship by the way.

Dang Dr. Furrburger thats like askin The Smithsonian Institute to sell the Mona lisa for $ 4K. Actually If it were possible I

would give Mona for that Dozer Any day! WoW..... It's Tight!

That's calendar material for 2013. Anyone who tops your build this year is going to really have to turn it on.

:handgestures-thumbupleft: Congrats very nice job. you should be proud of the craftmanship.

The Mona Lisa originally sold to Francis I of France for 4000 écus (french currency at the time). Maybe in 500 years the Mini Dozer will be worth over $100 million too.

Wow.

I'm not quite ready to get it that dirty just yet.Give me a week or so.

Thanks Duke, it should be fun to operate.

Thanks Don1977, there's certainely enough talent here with this group to be able to do that.

Brad, Denny, DoctorH, and fabricator, Thanks and glad you like it.

....well maybe you could start with a little snow, it comes off a lot easier! :lol:

WOW, TRULY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! mike in mass.

[Stigian 1,234]

Outstanding work Massy :notworthy:

I looks and sounds great in the vids.

Thank you for giving me hope that the steering will work on my project.

Still waiting on the snow down here. Ahh well, one day closer to spring.

WOW, TRULY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! mike in mass.

Thanks Mike, it was an interesting build and I'm glad I did it.

Thanks Ian, If anyone can figure out the steering it would be you.

I could be tempted to trade my Harley for that mechanical masterpiece:)

[spinella 0]

just read all six pages of this build....very nice work.

[AMC RULES 36,945]

Any updates, pushed any dirt yet? :teasing-poke:

[Coadster32 793]

What an awesome machine!!! Like John said, thanks for letting us see it come together from the ground up.

(BTW-the Mona Lisa was originally purchased for the use of bathroom wall art.)

[massey 111]

Glad you guys enjoyed it. I was wanting to push some snow with it but it doesn't seem that is going to happen, so this spring I'll probably be moving some dirt.

[Ken B 3,116]

You did an incredible job, that bad boy is awesome! Your craftsmanship is something to be proud of. Now I can see you building a backhoe and loader tractor like Wallfish did, and him building one of these. That would be to cool to have a Track Horse and a Hoe Horse wouldn't it? Hey, its easy spending someone else's money!

Week's up :teasing-poke:

[bowtiebutler956 649]

This is the third time I've read through this build, and I have the same reaction every time. This has got to be the baddest wheel horse I have ever seen. Incredible work Massey! Any updates?

[massey 111]

Thanks for the kind words. We haven't had snow this year so it mostly just sits. I do have about an 800' gravel driveway and it seems to work well in redistributing the gravel. And I do make the occasional mail run with it just to get some seat time.

No mud pics for Gary and Craig yet though. :teasing-poke:

:eusa-doh: Aaargh, you didn't fool me...I knew you were building a trailer queen! :)

I'm okay with gravel. Pics and gravel would be great :wwp:

I know that is a lot of work but you can be proud when you finish and have a super cool machine.
