- 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
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.
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!
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
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!
That machine is AWESOME! Great video! Thanks for putting it together to share with the world!
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!!
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
This dozer was built several years ago. I would have never put it on RUclips but somehow someone from somewhere posted a video and attacked me saying it was a struck that I was claiming I had built. In an effort to defend myself I put this video up. This was built as a toy. It still has issues as everything built this fashion will have. I have been dealing with them as I can. If you notice the three cylinder yanmar turned into a 4 cylinder kubota. The 3 cylinder had a leaking injector pump I couldn’t get the crush washers and I thought it had locked up while I was running it, so I put the 4 cylinder in it. Turns out the hydraulic tank I had built had a little metal ball in it from welding and the hydraulic pump ate it locking it up. Wasn’t the motor but I had already switched it. I put a filter in front of the pump but that makes everything work about half the speed it should. Also I have to run this big motor at an idle which slows it to almost a snails pace. The pump is 20 gallons per minute at 3600 rpm. I’m running it at about 900 rpms. Radiator is for a Honda Civic car which isn’t big enough after a while the motor slowly creeps up and gets hot.
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!
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 RUclips 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!
The electric linear actuator for revving is a touch of professionalism!! Fantastic.
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.
Wow , this is so cool
This is one of the most interesting homemade builds I have ever seen. Hats off to you sir. Keep up the cool videos.
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
Amazing American creativity! great work and thank you for showing us.
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.
Really great job man 👍 I thought I recognized that sound I got a little Kubota 3-cylinder, diesel beautiful sound 👍
Loved the time and effort fullfilling this job! :-)
