    Super cool mini dozer

    My Dad built this back in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It took him many many hours. The hardest part was building the tracks for it. This dozer is 100% built from scratch. It has an 18 horse twin cylinder motor and a 4 speed tranny. After a 15 year stay at a cousin's house - it finally has a new home at my house. It is really cool!!!

    Here are a couple of pictures of it. You can see the size of it in comparison to the 5 gallon gas sitting at the back of it.

    It doesn't look "home built", he did very professional job, very cool.

    It is capable of pushing anything in it's path. It is geared so low that it is a real animal. What it lacks is a good blade setup. For pushing gravel or small piles of dirt - you can't beat it. Also very good for back filling and leveling off ditches.
