Bulldozer
This bulldozer is based on the famous Eric Taylor tractor unit. See Constructor Quarterly issues 2,3 & 4 for constructional details. I have subsequently added a working bulldozer blade together with a winch and a power take off drive.
NEW 13/10/2020 - Following a request I have added in a lot more photos, particularly of the drive to the bulldozer blade.
