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.
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! 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!
