Well done, I'm about to build a mini dozer, if I can figure out hydraulic piece of the puzzle, this video answered how to make the drive sprockets, I will use rubber tracks. Thank you for video.

That was a very neat idea you came up with. Just goes to show that you don't always need expensive tooling to get the job done.

I have 24 years experience of forklift and plant fitting... GREAT WORK!!! i spent over half an hour 'beating' an track adjuster on a 35 ton digger today cos it was seized. Fixed it in the end!

I like your idea for how you used the angle grinder to cut your gears. I am always looking for ways to use what I got to get the job done. Thanks for the video looking forward to your next video.

Hey Dave....what do you think about using a motorcycle rear hydraulic brake system for steering the little dozer?

If its off a big bike, it should work, i used automotive brakes, I used rotors off a dodge car since they matched the bolt pattern and hub size

Very nicely done. Could you have used rotors and cut out the teeth? I'm asking cuz I have some handy.

I don't see why not. It would depend on what you use for chain. I made my sprockets to fit double pitch attachment chain.

How much would you charge for a pair of them sprockets?
@chopperhedduck
6 жыл бұрын
I wouldn't make another set. It would be cheaper and more efficient to have them made in a machine shop, or cut them from scrap pipe flanges. Each sprocket took a week of evenings to complete. If you found some old ASA/ANSI 150 flanges you could do it fairly cheap Another option would be old check valve bonnets for an old fashioned look ( they are dished cast steel)
