All I can say is wow, that is an amazing work of art. Can you give us a little walk thru on this project like the amount of time and how you did some of the components ? Thanks for posting. Bill

The model is based on a 1964 quad track that appeared in Eric Orlemanns book Caterpillar Chronicle.I got tractor measurements from contractors who did 2 projects in my area in the last 10 years. The blade measurements were from a local contractor. The hitch and drawbar measurements were taken by a man whose family owns and operates "Agristruction" in California. This project would not have been completed to scale without his help.I drew every component to scale with multiple views and dimensions. It also helps to have a complete microfiche set of cat equipment.I would say the research and drawing takes 70% of the time. I think the building took about 5 years mainly in the winter months.

Can you repost the images of this one like you did the 1/8th scale DD9G ?
