- Episode 1: The Genesis
This is how the build begins--at the bench with pencil and calculator, a few pictures and a few ideas. The vision of a Cub Cadet-based bulldozer with design cues drawn from a Caterpillar D10 dozer takes shape on paper. I scale the design, discuss the drive mechanism and preview some of the key components.
You are an incredible builder !
Thanks for sharing your design process. Really looking forward to the build.
This will be an interesting build. Thanks for sharing.
Nice explanation on scale conversion, I was surprised you are using 2 axles until you talked use through the why and how.
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
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.
Frank, my friend you have great talents I am looking forward to this build.
This is absolutely intriguing, I cant wait to watch this project as it progresses!
This will be a great build
Looking forward to watching
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 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.
Awesome 👌 I subscribed to see this.nice shop
Awesome! Thank you!
Can’t wait...but I guess I’ll have to! This should be fun.
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
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.
I knew it I mentioned it in the comments on another video of yours I can’t wait to see it in action
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.

Might make it where you only need one axle if it would work.
@@Hoaxer51 It would have to work, but for some reason he skips over my comments but responds to others. I have commented before on other videos and he does the same thing.
Didn't mean to ignore you. A zero turn drive line would be perfect for a dozer. I just don't have access to those parts, while I have lots of cub cadet garden tractor parts. So I'm trying to use what I have. But keep the ideas coming!
Can't wait to see this.😀
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”?
Are you going to give it a Traxcavator bucket?
I don't think so. Right now I'm planning on just the blade. Though, that would be cool. A bucket would require another cylinder for dumping. I want to be able to angle the blade right/left. Probably enough complexity...
Alas! Maybe the next one, then!
You should make a cub cadet skid steer that would be awesome to see!
That would be cool
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.
I've spent my entire life building stuff. This is just the next phase.
@@woodandmetalshoptime8048 I get that, I just am curious about why these particular projects/builds? It seems like there would be existing equipment already good to go without such heavy modification for much less money and time invested. Still, on the other hand I do admit that these are exceedingly impressive builds & you obviously have a boat load of talent/skill.
What's your timeline for this project and when are you going to start building
My build time frame is early fall and through the winter. I'm gradually getting the needed tools on hand. Just upgraded my air compressor today with a 5hp unit. Old compressor would not support the CNC plasma table which ships later this month and should be operational a few weeks later.
The one 👎🏻 is from the founding (only) member of the Cub Cadet Preservation Society. 😉
I agree with you . I love case and cub cadet. What a shame he wrecked a great classic lawn mower. I all way s build up my front part s . The picture man looks great.
I'm a restorer, too. But I have lots of pieces and parts from various donors. The tractor in the picture will not participate in this build.
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.

Why did you choose a D10 ? A D10 is the biggest of the Ds. Wouldn't a D2 or D4 made more sense?
Watching too much Gold Rush, I guess. LOL.
Building a “dozer” and getting a new tool? 🤔
CNC Plasma cutter? 💁🏻♂️
The Langmuir crossfire pro is on order, due in July or August. The tool I referred to in the video is not the CNC. Lots of videos on the Langmuir on UA-cam, so I don't plan to review it, per se. Maybe a quick mention. Some months from now, unfortunately.
Why not just scale the cub cadet off of a much smaller dozer?
Are you the fella who built the grader based off a old cub cadet
Ah never mind I see that you are you sir are one hell of an amazing craftsman you’ve got a new subscriber I seen a video of that grader a few years back and have since gotten into machining so I’m happy to pick up whatever I can pick up from someone as absolutely awesome as you
Yes. Videos are on the channel. There's a playlist with all the videos.
@@woodandmetalshoptime8048 I found them and thank you for filming these build your an amazing craftsman don’t make guys like you anymore
Track s from a old sled work s great and less stresse on your self
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.
I thought about the dual brake single axle approach and decided against it. I'm not using the actual tractor in that picture, BTW, I have a pile of parts.
@@woodandmetalshoptime8048 it works very well and easy to hook up. Stoping that track seems easy but not . It takes lots of pressure on the brake for the track. Just to let you know that most of your time spent right there. Brake s from a car work s better. Trust me I build them all the time
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.
Sounds interesting. Can you post a link to an online video?
@@woodandmetalshoptime8048 I don't have any on line video s or utube changle
@@woodandmetalshoptime8048 if you have a email address I could send you pictures. It not done yet.do to health reasons. This the only one I have. My first. On I build up from a wheel horse. I don't have that one no more. I used track s from A 4 wheeler had tracks they are small er and easy to apply to your build. U go to your outdoor repair shop that repairs sleds and 4 wheeler s. If u ask they will just give them to you.

Man your complicating it. Set it up so your rear existing drive on the tractor will run your drive sprockets on top.
Think it may make it too tall. And while I was questioning it myself. To properly replicate the Diff-steer function. He'll have to build it as described.
@@randyruppel6727 not sure about too tall 🤔 maybe . The diff steer could be done with the use of both diffs only using one side off each to drive. With out dif steer just add a set of brakes on each axle end for steering
@@randyruppel6727 a true scale model which it looks like he is after. No dozer ever was driven off the front idler. To me if your buolding a true scale model means everything works and looks the same as original just smaller but thats just me
Alas, compromises...
@@kellytyson4603 I dozer however can run the tracks in opposite directions, using the braking system negates that function. Even though he will be driving the tracks form both ends he will have that track reversal feature. Just my thoughts & I would go with the zero turn drives but he has the axles & those dual hydros are not inexpensive.
No matter what it will be a great build to watch.
