*This is the more complete model. The dark blue pieces represent hydraulic pistons and where they would attach. This is still a sort of rough sketch. Measurements are not exact.

June 3, 2013 MicroTrac Frame File:Framewarehouse.skp
This is an updated model of the frame for the microtrac using the warehouse tubing found in the File:Warehouse.skp.
June 4, 2013
This is the microtrac frame with a powercube File:PTcube2.skp. Sorry its upside down, its just for size reference at this point. Also it has the Quick Connect Wheels and the wheels with tracks File:Micro fulltrack6 4.skp.
June 4, 2013 MicroTrac Design File:Microtrac preliminary.skp
June 5, 2013
- Corrected orientation of PowercubeFile:PTcube2.skp in design. Updated version: File:Microtrac preliminary.skp
- Altered Quick Connect Wheels and motors to fit the MicroTrac.
- Designed the hub attachment to fit wheel to shaft for both the 20" and 21" donuts at the shop.
- Began research on bulldozer blades in order to begin design process.
June 6, 2013
Current ideas and designs found online for the Bulldozer 6-way Blade:
- This one is the most modular design with very compact and simple hydraulics:

- Detailed description of one style for mounting arms and hydraulic control (4-way):

- Good Specs on weights, heights, and angles for varying widths of 6-way blades:

- Began work on sketchup file for the blade File:DozerBlade1.skp, with a joint for 6 way motion.
- Having difficulty determining if this joint is feasible or strong enough. Trying to adapt the concept of a large bearing joint for the entire arm of the dozer blade attachment.
Here are some images of the joint:

- Revisited the attachment for the File:DozerBlade1.skp, made a new way of joining the arm to the blade for movement in six directions. Here are screen shots of the preliminary designs:

However the central plate allows the blade to have tilt, while the pin attached to the plate gives it the forward and back angled motion.
