- Homemade dozer. This dozer went through three revisions. It was first built with a 10hp lombardini Diesel engine off a pressure washer. It didn’t have enough power so I installed a 3 cylinder yanmar from a John Deere 430 mower tractor. It had injector pump issues so I rebuilt again using a 4 cylinder Kubota 1505 motor. I built this a couple years ago so I don’t remember everything I used. There are no plans. When I build I figure out the next step in my head. I do one piece at a time. I’m no engineer so I just do what I like. Im doing this video because of the many people who keep saying my dozer is a struck or magnatrac.
people like you, are what this world needs more of, people who can build anything they set their mind to
Thanks wish other people thought like you
That machine is AWESOME! Great video! Thanks for putting it together to share with the world!
Super cool Stacy! Not only the machine works great, but you also gave it a nice and neat shape. Doing both at the same time is not easy. You are a master fabricator! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful project video! Not sure how many folks can or will understand the amount of effort, time and thought went into making something like this. WOW!
Carolina Homesteaders thanks a million
Nicely built!! Everybody can sit behind there keyboards and tell you everything you did wrong. They should try building one! I love it! I would keep my yard tore up!!
Dr Soot Hahahaha yes I do tear my yard up from time to time.
Loved the time and effort fullfilling this job! :-)
The electric linear actuator for revving is a touch of professionalism!! Fantastic.
Thanks I like to over complicate stuff
This is one of the most interesting homemade builds I have ever seen. Hats off to you sir. Keep up the cool videos.
he use the laser metal kit with the plan at www.cdp-backhoe.com
Most won't have a clue how much time and cost of just the materials is involved in something like this. Kudos to you for tackling it and making it work.
Thanks very much. I have built several other things and working on a backhoe right now. I haven’t posted anything cause of all the stupid people who only know how to post negative comments but I think I will go ahead and get more projects out there.
sweet dude. really nice job!! well done.
Thank you very much
Awesome Doser. you mention you are not Engineer but you are far batter than any engineer. Salute your great work. 👍👍👍
Thanks very much
I love it! very ambitious build, killer execution!
Amazing American creativity! great work and thank you for showing us.
That is so cool. You did an amazing job building that. I love it!
Really great job man 👍 I thought I recognized that sound I got a little Kubota 3-cylinder, diesel beautiful sound 👍
Nice dozer you built there, can’t say anything that not already been said but, Thanks for sharing!!
that is amazing! Especially with that 2nd power plant.
If you built this off the top of your head I am more than impressed, and even with blue prints, you are one very handy guy with lots of ability to see it and build it
roger davies thanks
Wow , this is so cool
As an equipment operator all my life , it's the coolest thing you could possibly build.
Thank you for sharing the video & info on the build
Absolutely love it
There’s a lot of wanna be operators out there. You can tell those people they only criticize to try and show how smart they are. I believe you’ve been an operator your entire life because you understand this is a toy not a piece of equipment to operate all day.
@@stacyp4534 Not true IMO. I have a little Craftsman-branded L1000 lawn mower I bumped up from 20" lawn tires to 22" ATV tires filled with water and alcohol, 75lbs of barbell weights on the back and a Dozer blade made from an old water heater and bedframe angle iron. Goes up and down with a long handle, angles left and right by a pin rack.
It was for snow, but I've pushed trash, gravel, mulch, rocks, snow, my massive leaf windrows, and my trailers around. I put a roller skate wheel on a metal bar and clamped that to a steering wheel spoke for power and speed steering, a cable and pulley to lift the grass chute up out of the way and to toss waste farther (it still mows; had to relocate the deck forward to clear the big tires) and a drink holder and fender handles for steep slopes.
Basically now a lawn tractor!
Great job, awesome machine!
One of the best home-built projects I have seen on YT. Great job!
Thanks very much.
Very nice! And the articulation you built into the blade was a super job!
You sir are a mechanical genius! Thank you for taking the time to share this incredible build. I was captivated for the entire 20 minutes length of the video. (My attention span with most CZcams videos is only a couple of minutes. ) It is amazing that you designed this dozer as you built it. All I can say is WOW!
Thank you very much
Nice dozer the motor upgrade really did it!!
Great little dozer!
Awesome build
That bigger engine had done the trick..Always remember Tim on Home Improvements..MORE POWER!!! I did 12 years on CATs working on the Motorways here in UK back in the 60s/70s Happy days
Yes more power is always the answer, who cares what the question is. Yeah the bigger motor is also much quieter. I don’t know why but I love anything on tracks.
Well I love building things and I will say I am majorly impressed with this. Around here would make a good parade toy as well.
Amazing build! It goes to whow, if at first you don't succeed, just add more power!
Very impressive indeed. Well done!
Dude! That's incredible that you made that. I love it.
Thomas Buss thanks I very much appreciate that
Sweet ! That new power plant and grawlers really helped! Just enclose the cab and add heat and it’s ready to plow snow!
Dave Kimbler it’s fixing to go through a total rebuild. It has a 35 horsepower kubota in it. It’s way to much power so I run it at an idle. Makes it very slow. I’m tearing it down and putting a 20 horse Perkins diesel in it. Im also going to change the gearing in the final drives. There’s going to be a few more changes like the lift cylinder in the front stuff like that. I’ll document it all.
That sound like you put a lot of though into it so far ! A Perkins is a nice choice and a Yanmar would also be good . The hydraulics in the video seemed fine but you had to be there to tell for sure . I was just making a wise ass comment in that I would love to have it to plow my snow ! That’s why I said a cab and heat also . It’s fabulous as it sits in my opinion. Cant wait to see more videos!
Dave Kimbler thanks very much. I’m in southern Arizona close to Mexico. I say that cause I did see snow once. It’s that white stuff that’s really cold. I see people shoveling it onto their lawns so they have more of it then it just melts and they did all that work to steal it for nothing.
@@stacyp4534 , what a great job you did on this, glad I watched to the end to see the upgraded engine, leave the engine alone, just work on gearing, that power will be useful one day!!
If I didn't see it I wouldn't have believed it. GREAT JOB. I wish I had the materials to build my own....LOL
gman4reel0 just get a couple pieces of metal and weld them together. When your able to get a couple more. Doesn’t take long and you look back and see a lot done. Then the more you get done the more excited you are to get more done. The hardest part is just starting. And the biggest thing to remember is it’s just metal. If it’s not what you like cut that off and do it how you like. Don’t worry about other people just do what you like.
Absolutely beautiful build
Brilliant effort. I once built my son a kind of tracked go cart with lawn mower engine and metal factory conveyor tracking..Loads of problems to start but It was worth it to see him chugging round the common on it. Alas it was discarded back in 1984
The best projects are the ones that include the kids
Superb work !
A lot of work, best done for the self satisfaction, not the end result. My Dad had an excavation company. I grew up in it. Ran my first dozer @ 15. Ran Dad's company for awhile. Cat gave me 3 days of training & a tour of their facilities in Ill. Dad had 4 dozers, two D8s, a D9 & a TD25 plus all the support equipment including scrapers, front end loaders & a dredge. Interesting business. That was a long time ago. Often wished I had stayed in it. I'm at the end of my life now, so wishing doesn't do any good. Always do what you enjoy.
Thanks. I just sold my Allis chambers HD-4 dozer. Kind of regretting it but oh well
@@stacyp4534 My Dad's first loader was an HD5 about 1950. In 5 years head had 5 of them. Bought one HD6 and it was plagued with problems. Made the switch to CAT. Had one IH loader that started on gas and switched to diesel after a short warm up. The best thing that ever happened to loaders was the power shift.
Very nice! I've had three Strucks over the years. One belt drive and two 4 speeds. The belt drive was back in the mid 70's when you bought a kit and put it together (including a ton of 1/4-20 grouser/track bolts) The belt drive went straight and actually was far more usable than the later models which used a differential and constant steering correction. Always wanted to build a hydraulic one from scratch though. You did a great job and it looks to be far more rugged than a struck!
Thank you. I looked at the struck/magnatracks and the old school like the kitty track and others but everything I found was expensive. I looked at a I think it’s called a mead speed track. Finally in the end I just built one. It was a very difficult decision at the time. A lot of sleepiness nites during the build trying to figure stuff out that wasn’t working correctly. I still plan to do an improvement on it. I want to use 2 hydraulic pumps and change the configuration of a few things. It works great as is but I like to mess with it. Watch for the next improvement to it. Again thanks
Thanks guys, great project, well done.
From scratch to reality, that was awesome. That Yanmar diesel did the trick for power.
Awesome! If i owned that...there would never be a blade a grass in my yard again!lol!
Nice job. Have a good one.
this thing is amazing!
Nice job! Fun project.
the talent and knowledge some folks poses is cool to see
Thank you
Absolutely awesome !
Genius !
Bull Shyte thanks a million
It is a good thing that you did not paint it Caterpillar yellow otherwise they might go after you for patent infringement. Brilliant, good job.
Bob W hahaha thanks
This is a work of art! I really like the diamond plate!
Thanks
Wow awesome job. I can see why you had to repower it. A little gutless at first. Great job!!!
John Smith thanks
People are quick to judge..I can tell you are an extrordinary metal fabricator with superior work ethics.
Thank you
That is cool as hell!!
wow!!! You are talented!!!
Fantastic job! You are an incredibly talented and creative man. What an inspiration. Many thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you very much
This is the coolest machine I have ever seen. Well done sir. I bow in the presence of a Master
00UncommonSense00 thanks very much
Very impressed with how much it would push considering it is on smooth grousers.
One beautiful build.Well done !!!!!
Thanks
What an amazing job you did be proud
very nice build and great craftsmanship
That is absolutely brilliant! Well done.
Than you
go brother, with support and such skills you can scale this to a commercial production of many units.
Very nice home made dozer. Looks like you know how to build one. Alot less $$$$$ than a real one. If your just using it around your home it works.
That’s cool . I also work on roads nice job on the dozer
Considering most people can't build a sandwich, that's one of the neatest things I've seen built on YT? thanks for sharing.
Thanks very much
Beautiful job, amazing what you can accomplish when you don't sit on the couch watching TV
I think it awesome good job I have always loved little dozers !!
that dozer is badd ass. nice work. i built one from a Case 444 garden tractor. F the haters
Good job, u r a genius
You are absolutely above and beyond handy!
nice build it for sure was upgraded with that yanmar!
nice one good job
that is one fine machine i would love to have one but as old daddy use to say wish in one hand and you know other an wait for the fill up ha ha love it great work
Capo!! Felicitaciones.!! EXELENTE tu trabajo
Very nice machine
Super cool, I wish I had one
Awesome! Truly amazing👍🇺🇲
Outstanding!! Nice job!! 👍
Thank you
Awesome build.
Nice work!
Buddy! That is super cool man! Super impressed man!
Thanks very much
That was an awesome build. You are very skilled in many disciplines. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks very much. I grew up on a farm we had to build most of our implements. In the old days they weren’t readily available. Kids nowadays don’t get to grow up in that type of atmosphere. Also I had the best dad in the world. He always had the answers.
@@stacyp4534 Just as your dad taught you, you are now an e-dad to the internet community. You are teaching us....worldwide! Cheers to you and your family.
Thanks. I appreciate that. So many people bash the dozer.
Great job on the craftsmanship. That little one cylinder engine wasn't enough power. You dropped in the three and then a four cylinder diesel, and now you've got the power to move that dirt. Excellent project.
I'll give you the Bull Terror award for this.
That's awesome I always thought about doing something like that with a quad or maybe build something of my own that's pretty awesome
Amazing work.
Thank you
You came good second attempt , well done .
I live in UK & would love one of these for my business it would be good with a backhoe on
I thought about putting a backhoe or ripper on the back. It would be really easy to do
Simply amazing!
Great talent.
Damn good job love it the only way to go build your own and know it from top to bottom bulldoze away 💪👍💯
Thanks
Beautiful dozer you've created! You say you're not an engineer. That's good because engineers don't care about component accessibility after the beast is assemble. They often create maintenance and repair nightmares. You could teach Caterpillar a thing or two. Well done!
David Evans Hahahaha thanks
And here I was thinking making one out of a lawn mower was cool.. Haha. This is AWESOME
any vids?
Andy P funny I thought about this comment all evening. I watched probably every dozer build on CZcams most of them made with lawn mower tractors. I thought those guys were geniuses. I would have probably done that but I couldn’t figure out how to steer it using clutches and chains. I used hydraulics cause it was simple once I figured it out. I think someone should put together some kind of meet we could all show up with our machines and trade advice and ideas. I love ever dozer out there especially the lawn tractor dozers. Those took the real thought.
@@stacyp4534 I can see your point, but the lawn mowers only tweak a few things here and there. To build everything from sheet metal from the ground up is awesome. Takes a lot of effort to mount the lines, pump, cylinders, and everything else that goes into running a brand new hyd system too.
@@johndowe7003 no, I'm still in the build stage of mine
@@stacyp4534 i want to make mine out of a truck frame with big military axles with a weight box on it for more traction im thinking about keeping it 6x6 with three axles but ill probably just make it 4x4 instead idkyet still just in the planning phase it would be really good with a 150:1 gear ratio and about 100hp weighing in around 20000 lbs
I wish there was more step by step footage that is so awesome
It sure is cool that you designed and built this all yourself. When I saw the thumbnail I too thought it was a struck. I’ve read your replies below and will echo some of the things said without being critical, just maybe to help someone else that is gonna try to tackle a similar build. There are a few designs inherent to bulldozers that might not be so obvious-
First is the pivot point for the blade push arms. They should extend under the machine or along the side of the tracks to about the center of your track frames. This allows a more constant blade angle throughout the arc of travel and it keeps the tracks planted for better traction.
Second is the blade angle. The blade shouldn’t be laid back. It should be nearly vertical.
I applaud you for having the tenacity to finish this little dozer, you did a great job.
Thanks.
I
How sweet is that! That must be a joy to operate, my hat is off to you sir, you need a bigger blade now with the power it's got. Great video and great little dozer.
David Kozal thanks
Good job . Man is talented!!!
Kenneth Trinkaus thank you
Wow that is really cool to able to build something like that. My hats off to you.
Thanks
Love the way you did the tracks!
the sprocket were part of the laser kit and plan at www.cdp-backhoe.com
Dude this is so cool . I was disappointed with the first engine ... But the little diesel made it real . A Mini Dozer for sure pushing some serious dirt for it's size . Great job .
Yeah the first engine was quite disappointing. It has way too much power now but it’s better to have extra and not need it.
Awesome job Building a small dozer, it is so cool .
Thank you
Problems or not - it’s amazing! Hats off to you. Sure wish I had the skills............
Thanks very much
Poor little gasoline engine wasn't happy, almost died a few times! I'd love to see your machine shop, those drive-wheels were not factory. You are a top-notch welder Stacy, you have the stack-of-dimes thing all wrapped up. Great machine!
Dave Kauffman thanks very much
