Here is my custom D10N pushcat after
CATERPILLAR Certified rebuild. Model
started out as an ERTL D10N and got a full makeover...

To meet with California's tight Air
quality Resources Board (aka CARB) this
pushcat is packed with a Tier 3 C27
ACERT engine

The standard U blade that came with this
dozer has been replaced with
a custom fabricated fully
functional cushion blade

The rear has a set of rippers (from the
Norscot CAT D10T) that have been
attached on custom integrated brass
mounts

Rippers are fully operational

The old rubber tracks that come stock on
this dozer were one of the first
things to go and replaced with these
new metal linked tracks

Another major modification was taking
off the enclosed cab and making this
into an open air open ROPS machine.

Due to height issues in some areas the
canopy and exhaust stacks can
easily be removed for transport if needed

Here's a good comparison photo of what
the D10N started out as, and how it
was completly transformed into basically
a brand new zero hour machine

Packed with the same engine and horse
power as a D10T here's
a side by side shot of the two dozers

And just for fun here's a shot of the
D10N pushcat next to a D10 pushcat

Weather it be pushing 631's or 651's
this new and improved clean green TIER 3
dozer packs nothing but pure power and
meets all air quality compliances

Shot of the dozer as it arrives on its
first job site after full rebuild

Here's a pic of the D10N pushcat in
action loading 631's with complete eaze
