MINI-DOZER ASSEMBLY
(MD1200 & MD1600 Series)
Unpacking the Kit:
Care must be exercised in unpacking the Kit to avoid bending or scratching the
various components. As the parts are unpacked, lay them out neatly and check the
parts against the enclosed Parts List. Notify us immediately of any shortages.
Setting up for Assembly:
It is best to set the Body in an upright position on the edges of two saw-horses
or on top of a crate. This will allow you to easily work around and underneath the
Tractor. NOTE: The directions 'Left & Right' and 'Upper & Lower' referred to in
the following instructions are determined by standing behind the Dozer and looking
forward. 'Inside' refers to the side of a part which is closest to an imaginary
center line running down the length of the Dozer. 'Outside' refers to the side
farthest from the above defined center line. (Remove Engine from Body and save bolts.)
Lubrication:
Lubricate the "Zerk" fittings on #22 Drive Wheels, #25 Idler Wheels and #10 Bearings
as you proceed with their respective assembly. All other bearings are sealed and "life-
time" lubricated.
NOTE:
1. To standardize the manufacture and servicing of our line of Mini-Dozers, we've
kept components as interchangeable as possible between the two model series (MD1200 &
MD1600). To clarify your understanding, please note that MD1200 series tractors cover
models MD1207 & MD1200; and that MD1600 series tractors cover models MD1612 & MD1600.
2. As you proceed through the various assembly steps, note that each step refers
to all model Mini-Dozers unless a specific model is noted within the step.
3. It is recommended that a Liquid Lock Sealant be applied to ALL set screws, cap
screws, nuts and anywhere else that is felt necessary to keep all stationary tractor
parts snug and secure. (NOTE: DO NOT put on #20 Sprocket and Shaft)
Assembly:
1. Slide one #12 Axle through 7/8" holes in rear of Body. Slide #22 Rear Drive Wheel
on each end of Axle and then follow with two 7/8 WI Washers over each Rear Axle end
(large sprocket to outside).
2. Slide second #12 Axle through forward slots in Body. On each Axle end, slide on
approximately ten 7/8 WI Washers followed by #25 Front Idler Wheel (sprocket to outside)
and finally two more 7/8 WI Washers over each end of Front Axle.
3. Slide #13 Track Expanders over ends of Front and Rear Axles as per assembly drawing
(slotted end of Expander is forward). Slide 7/8 WI Washer over each end of four Axle
ends and secure with 7/8 Snap Rings. (NOTE: 7/8 WI Washers may be added or removed to
give best possible final fit and alignment. Check alignment of each sprocket with
straightedge. Take 3/8-16 x 4-1/2 Cap Screw and slide on 3/8 WI Washer. Slide Cap
Screw through hole in front end of each Expander and through hole in Front Axle.
