old-hermit Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I started the AMT Cat D8H and want to do some detailing on it. Y'all seem to know a lot more about desiel engines than me, so any help would be appreciated. I searched Google but can't find routing for the six fuel lines from the pump to the head. I know they go up and between the valve cover but where do they go from there ? A good pic would help. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaronw Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I have some photos of a D8H I found a few years ago being used by Inyo county roads. It has a retrofitted ROPS. http://modelfireapparatus.com/apparatus/Dozers/Dozers1/dozers1.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juneau125 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Looks like you're good on the engine details. I model looging, and loggers use thier dozers for many different tasks- including mobile trees for rigging support, etc. Many ROPS could be purchased OEM- (Medford, Tube-Lok, etc), and many were built in logging camp shops and were one-off. In these days of OSHA certification, those days are gone, but here are some different dozer canopy's I have built in past years... Hope this will help some. Use your inagination teamed with old reference photos- there's no 'wrong' way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpreadAxle Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 That's a cool collection of dozers you have there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one perfectly detailed build. Is it yours ? It definately gave me some ideas but I don't think mine will be any where near that good.

Sergey Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 WOW!!! Thanks Sergey. Is it yours ? No, it was made by my friend, Oleg Malakhov - the guy, who made "Rubber Duck"using Italeri's Superliner and many scratch build things: http://forum.autoinscale.com/viewtopic.php?id=2456 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
