I first saw the ads for a minidozer in the Pop Sci/ Mechanix Ill advert section when the 45 mini dozer was new and the current model. I`ve always been attracted to dozers and have been lucky enough to sit on a few full sized ones over the years since. A few years ago, I set up a decent shop and had some liesure time. While browsing one day, I found the tech section of the Struck website. At the time, they had schematics and partial parts lists for all their obsolete models posted in their tech section. I managed to dowload the mini dozer MD 44-45 schematics. Sadly, Struck has seen fit to remove the MD 44-45 images off their site. I`m convinced it is because their latest offering (RS1000) is a return to that design.
I recognized several key elements in the drive from various and assorted ag machines I`ve seen over the years. here is an image or two or three from the built to date. be warned though. i had a career change which has meant no progrees on this for a year and no chance of physical progress for another year, just dreaming and scheming to solve some of the issues I have seen with my machine as it sits.
