Cub Cadet Bulldozer 

This will be an interesting build. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing your design process. Really looking forward to the build.

This is absolutely intriguing, I cant wait to watch this project as it progresses!

Frank, my friend you have great talents I am looking forward to this build.

Nice explanation on scale conversion, I was surprised you are using 2 axles until you talked use through the why and how.

This will be a great build Looking forward to watching

You are an incredible builder !

I haven’t even started the video and I highly suspect this is going to be an awesome build right up there with the grader.

I'm really looking forward to seeing your decision process as you design and build.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, I will be waiting for your future vids as this has been a possible retirement project I was contemplating with a couple of Ariens tractors I have acquired

Awesome 👌 I subscribed to see this.nice shop

This build is amazing. My Hats Off To You for engineering and building the Cadet Dozer. I'm up to episode 14 and admire your skills and projects.

I gotta love that coffee mug of his. This is the 4th vid of his I'll be watching since I stumbled across the 10th episode of the Cub Cadet bulldozer build while watching a Dirt Perfect video. He's right up there with Mustie1, Watch Wes Work, Iron Trap Garage and several other related channels I'm subbed to. I really like his delivery cadence and ingenuity.

Can’t wait...but I guess I’ll have to! This should be fun.

I knew it I mentioned it in the comments on another video of yours I can’t wait to see it in action

Hey frank good morning thank you for showing how you did the scale part, I have always wondered how it was done amd this I think has inspired me to do a project of my own

Can't wait to see this.😀

I have gone back to see the beginning of this great build. The only flaw I see is in the dimensioning overall, as you failed to take in consideration that the track extends aft of the body hence the cub body verses the track body would be a slightly different ratio. This is a great build though. My dad had a construction company, and there were graders, and dozers, that I grew up around, as well as on. His dozers were D6 Caterpillars as the width of the dozer blades were the slandered for an oil field road. I chose to not join in the family business, as that was my dads thing, not mine. I still have many memories of operating the equipment though, some good, some not so good. It is a hard way to make a living, with little security. You are always at the mercy of the oil companies timing and calls, day and nights. Your schedule is dependent on their schedule.

You should make a cub cadet skid steer that would be awesome to see!

I would take a long hard look at the drive line of a Cub Cadet zero turn lawn mower, some of them are very heavy duty. Art

The one 👎🏻 is from the founding (only) member of the Cub Cadet Preservation Society. 😉

Are you going to give it a Traxcavator bucket?

Isn’t the top “wheel” on the dozer the drive sprocket? Don’t you want that coincident with the c/l of your rear axle on the “calfdozer”?

What's your timeline for this project and when are you going to start building

Track s from a old sled work s great and less stresse on your self

Alan here why are we working in metric, 31 years as a journeyman skilled tradesman worked in SAE, AND as a draftsman all my work was in inches, 16, 32, 64. Last check America as SAE measurements.

This is a very entertaining thing to see. You are obviously a brilliant designer/fabricator with an unbelievable amount of skill/talent. Still, I can't help but ask WHY? Is it just a shits and giggles project for your own amusement? Do you have an actual need for these particular pieces of equipment you fabricate? It's absolutely fascinating to watch. I'm thoroughly impressed, but still I just have to ask why? These builds are not a cheap venture. You have obviously spent a LOT of time, effort, and cash on these projects.

Building a “dozer” and getting a new tool? 🤔 CNC Plasma cutter? 💁🏻‍♂️

Are you the fella who built the grader based off a old cub cadet

Why not just scale the cub cadet off of a much smaller dozer?

Why did you choose a D10 ? A D10 is the biggest of the Ds. Wouldn't a D2 or D4 made more sense?

It's easy to build I built 2 . U really don't need to make it so hard. I built min on the fly. I use stuff that I pre made. And buy parts of the shelf parts and make my own parts.

Here's a tip use a dule brake trans . I built a cub cadet cat I used the trans and the front end. And tie in steel . I built many cats and min scale equipment. I used rub ber tracks. I never take a full classic lawn mower and build it I use part s and peaces I made a front end loader. I knidna made min look like a TD 6 . Same company. My opinion the classic lawn mower u just wrecked it.

Man your complicating it. Set it up so your rear existing drive on the tractor will run your drive sprockets on top.
