I just hope you dont underestimate the challenges of a CAN bus system or CPU controlled engine... Or that the components you buy, arent electronically controlled.

No , I am well versed with CanBus wiring systems and the things I need to do to trick the ECU . I grafted the entire engine , dash , firewall , air con , drivers air bag , central locking system etc out of a 2005 Ford Falcon into an F series cab and then sat it all on a Nissan Patrol chassis . All tree cars had different systems and every electrical option runs through the ECU and it all works . This project is less daunting than my truck .

The FTX148 is $258,000 +tax , the PT400 is $580,000 +tax , this thing wont be as refined as either , maybe somewhere in the middle but still be pretty capable and will owe me less than my F Truck .
Thank you for the good wishes .

Sorry I forgot to reply , yes I have enough projects to last me two more lifetimes and will keep you posted on this one . Once I get the donor truck the top half will move quickly , the track base is still going to be hard to find and will hold me up . Still no reply from India , business must be booming as they don't even reply to emails .

Iron Horse: Great project. Please keep us informed
About the undercarrage, have you tried to find a used bulldozer? You could use both the engine and the UC. Just throwing it out there as a suggestion.
I do like the idea of adding a side boom. It'll give some flexability. I think TigerCat has a option on their excavator style mulchers where there is a wrist so you can rotate the head forward and mulch as if the machine had a fixed head.

Thanks for that Scooby , it needs to be hydraulic drive and the dozers are planetary finals .
Just a bit of a hitch in the plan , come off my motor bike today , broke my knee in several places and have surgery tomorrow morning . I WAS on a roll , stay tuned .........................

Well.. that is a bit of downturn... Here's hopin' that you're only just slowed up for a short while!
When I was in my early teens - I broke my kneecap. It was simply smashing!! A lovely cast from crotch to the last knuckle of my toes.. in the middle of summer - nice and ITCHY! I had straightened out coat hangers scattered all over the place; 'cause you just never knew when the itching would push you over the edge@#!!#@
Maybe with fall coming on - it'll get a bit cooler and won't be as bad a deal for you.
Drop a line and let us know how you're doin'.

Ouch ! ! ! sorry to hear about that. I've been enjoying this thread, i hope you heal fast, and that there aren't any complications.
A bit like this Ak ?
Thank's Bri , the project will be back on track in 6 weeks when the cast comes off .
I called the dozers final drives planetaries , that is not correct they consist of bull gears etc , I was still in shock .
The biggest setback is I wont make it to the truck auction , I could buy it online but would rather see it in person .

Ow, cover that thing up. Mine's hurting just looking at it.
Guess it'll give you plenty of time to work on your design and internet shopping.sequoyah101
