My mini dozer build

[Industrial Toys]

VERY nice! Where do guys like you find the motivation to finish a project?

I find it so much more fun, planning, sourcing and buying stuff, than actually doing the work AND running into problems.

This is going to be a fun project to follow!!!

I'm going to enjoy following this one! I envy people with the talent to do this kind of project.

My guess is, where the red arrow it looks to me to be somewhat of an extensible slider, so there must be some adjustment hiding behind.

The adjustment is a screw jack:

Yep it's a screw jack. I'm still debating if I need spring tension or not in case a stick or rock gets into the track.

The sliders are 2.5 x2.5 sq.tube inside 3x3x .188 wall.

That’s just cool beans! Don’t know much about dozers except I like them.

Like the pictures detailing the fabrication. Good skills. I’m just seeing two bolts, thru tubing, securing each track to the frame? Enjoy following your post.
