Hi Guys, I have been busy enjoying time in my little workshop. Here is my finished dozer . Also my first pulling tractor almost done. E.J. Potter , Michigan Madman is who I built the tractor to look like. Monday I will start a 1/4 scale John Deere 4020 and plow project. A video just added anyone wanting to see that . Thanks youtube.com/doncampbellmaker

I have watched a number of your model builds over the years and they are all fantastic, including your latest dozer. I am curious if you still have all these models and, if so, how do you store or display them?

Amazing, what does the fully assembled unit weigh?

Seems like it would be well over 100 lbs!

wow! Nice work
The same EJ Potter that ran a SBC in a motorcycle frame in the 60s?

Surely an impressive build. That Cat is great. I'm gonna check-out the site after I post.

I think EJ Potter first used a Buick 215 cu. inch aluminum V8 for his bike. I'd say the British equivalent of EJ Potter is Alf Hagon, both did things their way and drag strips were places they dominated.

The Michigan Madman got quite a lot of use out of that Allison. Put it in a small station wagon also. Also had a "Volts Wagon" an electric sort of slot car with the Allison powering the generator. 120 mph in the quarter, which was amazing for an electric vehicle. You should build one of his injected Chevy V8 powered Whizzers.
