I shortened it up so you don't have to watch the whole thing.
73 will be out there again 2024
Very nice. Was the engine direct bolt in? Did you have to shim it at all or relocate the motor mounts or plate?
Hi Duck....are you satisfied with your track slide system or it would have been better with bogie wheels?....thanks
That was super cool nice job!!
THANKS
Hey Duck....Would you have plans or a parts list or dimensions for sale?
I don't have a parts list other than whats in the videos. I don't have any plans made up. I do have (somewhere) the drawing for the sprockets and track links
these would be very hekpful...if you find them let me know.....thanks
If you have an email address I can send you what I have
Could be that f***ing theif who stole your camera...too bad he didn't take a little bit out of his ass.....
Hey Dave....what do you think about using a motorcycle rear hydraulic brake system for steering the little dozer?
If its off a big bike, it should work, i used automotive brakes, I used rotors off a dodge car since they matched the bolt pattern and hub size
Duck are you on facebook?
yes, I just never use it. I'll send you the link when i'm back in the house

There isn't anything on it about the dozer
What trans-axel problem did you get?
The Hydro trans doesn't like to turn easily. Im converting to hydraulic disc brakes , hopefully it will help
Hi there.....Your videos have given me the building bug.....I have a 145LGT wich i will use to build a very similar project as you did....i've started to study your videos and tips and make a Princess auto shopping list....your videos are great and after 3 years of depression i finally got something that will make me happy to get out of bed in the morning.....thank you for the great videos and the building bug you have given me......i see your from Canada, so am I .... so am I....Grenville QC....thanks again.....Ben
Awesome, I had a great time building mine
👍👍👍👍💥💥🔥🔥🔥🧨👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
O
Great 👍
thanks
Well done, I'm about to build a mini dozer, if I can figure out hydraulic piece of the puzzle, this video answered how to make the drive sprockets, I will use rubber tracks. Thank you for video.
That was an Awesome Race! Thank you for posting video. Ed Richardson #35
FANTASTIC!
Any videos of the dozer in use?
Just the ones on the channel
Nice
This thing is really cool, nice build. Even cooler when i saw that youre from edmonton. My Dad still has one of these tractors sitting in a shed, id like to get it going again someday
Thanks, Ihave some parts if you ever try to get your dad's going
Did the engine fit ok? I’m in the states what engine can I use? I have a closed side 145
I used a standard GS420 Honda clone engine, 15HP. Whatever harbour frieght clone engine you can get will work.
I used a home made flywheel adapter, I recommend orderng one on line
You will have to adapt it to fit. I had to use a spacer on my open side 145, my closed side 100 has rubber mounted engine, a n adapter or new motor mounts will be required.
Guess they do not plow back alleys in Edmonton
They do plow occasionally, generally after some one complains. I live on one of the few gravelled alleys in Edmonton. The city uses it to train their grader operators. Kind of a pain when the spend 6 hours going up and down the alley doing next to nothing
thought the front hydraulics are from Princess
everything other than the factory hydro transaxle and power steering pump is from Princess Auto.
Ha! I was expecting something a bit more dangerous to happen ;) Watching that thing crawl towards the ramps on the table reminded of me of an incident that I had at a previous job. I was a laborer for a plumbing company, and my boss wanted me to wash mud off one of the 'small' Kubota excavators (I think it weighed 12,000 LBs or so.) Anyway, while I dragged out the hose and pressure washer, another one of the laborers pulled the trailer out of the shop that the excavator was on, using an old GMC pickup dump truck. He left it parked out in the lot, attached to the trailer, and he went off to do something else. I dropped the trailer ramps, started up the excavator, got it unchained, and then I started driving it towards the ramps, with the bucket facing towards the back of the trailer. What I did NOT know, because I didn't bother to check, was that the other laborer had used the WRONG hitch when he pulled the trailer out. The trailer was set up with a ring for a pintle hitch, but he had used a regular BALL hitch, and had simply put the ring around it! So when I reached a certain point near the end of the trailer, the rear ramps flipped up, and then the front of the trailer picked itself up off of the truck, and flipped up in the air! At the same time, the excavator tilted forward at an extreme angle, and the arm and bucket passed through the gap between the two ramps, and the bucket came to rest on the ground. There was no damage done to the trailer or excavator, but man, did it scare the CRAP out of me! And it happened so fast, there was no time for me to react. I immediately shut off the excavator, carefully got off, and I ran inside to get my boss. He hopped on it, and by carefully extending the arm forward, while reversing the excavator at the same time, he was able to get the trailer to set back down on the hitch. I definitely learned my lesson that time. ALWAYS verify that the trailer is properly attached the vehicle before you drive something heavy off of it :P Watching your video, I was expecting the dozer to get on the ramps, then see the back end of the table flip up, as the ramps dropped to the floor with the dozer still on them. But that table must weigh more than I though :)
Wowsers, that there is the reason to keep a spare set of underwear in your emergency kit. The reason the table didn't flip up is I added legs to the end of the table that the ramps slot into. I try to think these things out ahead of time.
That machine is a beauty.
Thanks, still working n it when I get Time
Nice work and music choice!
Thanks
You do great work man awesome.... Do you know how much it weighs
around 2000 pounds, just over 900 kilos
@@chopperhedduck Thank you for responding that's a little heavier than I thought it would be that's good though drawbar pull is directly related to weight it should be around 90% or more for a well-balanced crawler tractor with good cleats
@@NMX777 the original tractor weighed in at 895 lbs. I added a lot of steel to it. The Peerless 2501 Hydro is rated at 1200 ft/lbs of torque at the axle with a 20 hp input. This engine is 15 hp, so it should put out 900 lb/ft at the axle. top speed estimated at 4 MPH, based on the drive sprockets being 1/2 the diameter of the original tires. IIRC, track contact weight was 2.5 psi.
@@chopperhedduck Thank you for that information that's very interesting. Personally I think you'll still be able to achieve the maximum output rating even with the smaller engine but you would not be able to push as much at a higher speed that's just my guess.... The other factor is what is the diameter to the outside of the track from the center of the drive axle... If it is less than 12 in then the drawbar pull can be higher than the foot pound rating
@@NMX777 axle center line to track plate is 7", 7.5" to grouser edge It is a dual range setup, so in low range torque values etc. change. It's powerful enough for me. I never bothered to figure out all the math on that.
Wow Damm 😮. Talented as f*ck.
thanks
Show irmão
That’s true and he is my next door neighbor I’m glad to have a good neighbor like him thanks Ed !
The yellow is the best one
He was the winner, and a heck of a nice guy too.
@@chopperhedduck You were sitting not far from my sister and her family. Thanks again for recording the memories. I don't always win !!! Lol
@@MrE1d2 You're welcome, we were just happy to be there
This is why God invented Plasma Cutters!......Love your build! Amazing!

thanx
Very good...
Hi would like to know more about it if you can contact me
what do you want to know?
@@chopperhedduck how did you come up with the gear size and the tooth size
@@scottwebb4499 I based my sprocket design on a standard double pitch chain. I had one of our draftsman at work figure out the diameter and spacing to fit
@@chopperhedduck could you email me or can i email you
@@chopperhedduck You need my email but I don't need everyone having it
Hello! I would love to see the prints for it , how much to buy it or I would love to make one
Unfortunately, I didn't make up any paper plans for it . Alot of the info is in the videos. Sorry its not for sale yet.
How many cutting disk does it take per idler ?? They look to have been turned on a lathe. 👍
3 -4 each if I remeber correctly, and I burnt out 2 angle grinders.
Truly A God among Men
Not a God, just Good Old Duck. Thanks
Great job
Do you have detailed prints or a down loadable file a person could precious from you.
Sorry, not at this time. I expect to have one in the future.
ducks Garage how soon future? Next week would be soon enough. LOL!!
What do you need to know? I'm still working on some design issues with the steering setup.
ducks Garage am looking at incorporating three designs to make a set of 4 tracks to go on an articulateing cub cadet with hydro trans and 3 cyl perkens Diesel engine.
@@ronaldpotts7436 Cool, My next project( once I get through the two I,m on now) will be to build a 4WD Ford articulated, Haven't got an engine yet, and still collecting parts, but I expect to get it done before I'm t0o broken to do it.
I wanna buy it
You aren't the only one.
How did you plumb the cylinders for the angle? Did you just reverse the hoses for one cylinder?
Yes IIRC, that would be exactly what I did. The same job could be done with single acting cylinders if needed. I used double acting cylinders in case I want to put a loader on it.
Thanks
looks too heavy
Actually it weighs about 2000 lbs. It's actual ground pressure is about 2 pounds per square inch. The donor tractor was about 800 pounds before I started. I'm thinking of adding a few more hundred pounds of weight below the frame
You painted the tracks to prevent rust right? Will it holds and not tears up during operation?
After only a couple of hours the paint on the grousers and pads is pretty much gone. Its tremclad royal blue, easy to find and easy to respray to touch it \up
@@chopperhedduck Hey i've just got an info, even on military tanks the tracks are painted and it wears off. Good thing is, as soon as the tracks are used again, friction with ground wipes the rust off from it.Thanks by the way
yes the contact surfaces polish quite quickly
Hi, I tried watching all your videos, but couldn’t find the steering principle for this machine. Is it a stock setup and you’re applying left and right brakes independently for steering? Thanks in advance for sharing your project with us
It uses differential steering, which is, as you stated, simple steering brakes on each axle. Unfortunately the Peerless 2501 transaxle uses a planetary differential that doesn't like to split torque. I'm working on a plan for steering clutches to go with the brakes.
ducks Garage thanks for the reply. I look forward to seeing your progress on that solution one day
just saw on facebook nice job !! think if used rear diggers blade would have worked better hind sight is 20-20
Thanks. The rear tool bar is set up to be used for whatever I can think of. I have a 4 foot piece of dozer blade edge to play with. The 3 point hitch setup will accept any cat 0 implemet
Pls excavator track assembly make
dobra robota -pięknie
thank you
Would have been better without the stupid music. Nice tractor anyway
Unfortunately, if I want to avoid copyright issues, I have to deal with the crap that you tube provides. thanks for watching
I watched all of your build videos yesterday. That is a beautiful machine, and you did a really nice job. Congrats! Lemme know if you ever get sick of it, cuz I would be glad to take over!
Thanks, I appreciate the compliments. However, I don't see myself getting tired of it anytime soon, heck I still need to dom some work on it.
You should certainly have used steel bushings, or at least bigger bolts in between the drive-rails. Personally, I would have welded some steel shield-stock around the bolts to beef them up a bit where the sprocket makes contact.
The bushings are DOM steel tubing. The bolts are grade 8 and have more than enough strength for the job. I left lots of room to allow for wear. . the 3/8 bolts can be drilled out to half inch, and new bushings made to fit. The sprockets have lots of meat to go to a 3/4" OD bushing if required. As is, the sprockets are sized to fit standard double npitch attachment chain if needed.
@@chopperhedduck Good stuff. Sounds like you've got all your ducks in a row.
I like to think I do. Thanks for watching
