#CF STRUCK COMPANY MINI DOZER MANUAL#

The manual that comes with the RS1000 is very good. I have no technical skills but I was able to change out the belts, take the tracks off and clean them, lube all the zerks and put it all back together. 'Maintenance on the RS1000 is not just easy it is kinda fun. I pulled the plow up to the area I had just cleaned which was up a hill. I hooked my chain on to it, and using my hydraulics was able to lift the nose of it off the ground about 3 inches. I had tried to move it before with just my muscle but couldn't budge it. 'I have recently drug an old John Deere 3 under plow that had been in the weeds for many years. Since I didn't have to worry about nail puntures in my tires I was able to successfully clean up the area using my material bucket.' There were nails and glass all over the place. 'Recently I had to clean up an area on my property where I had torn down a shed. It is working great and I was glad to be her hero.' I dug a trench in my sister-in-laws yard to help with the flow of water coming off the neighbor's yard. The actual bucket hydraulics seem to have more power than the dipper. 'The backhoe is powerful but keep in mind it is still small so it can't take as big a bite as the big boys. The material bucket is great if the front of the tractor needs to be raised.' I have grouser plates which gave me great traction. I got out my dozer and using the material bucket cleared our lane. Just a few days ago we got 4 inches of snow. I did the same on the other side and soon I was able to push them. I placed the front of the material bucket edge and got in under an edge of the tie and lifted as high as the bucket could go.

These were tightly staked into the ground and was actually 2 ties staked together. Recently I had some railroad ties I needed to move. One is best for hauling gravel while the complete opposite seting is better for scraping or digging. During this time I have put the RS1000 through the paces.' 'I have been using my RS1000 for about 1 1/2 years. Whenever I need some moving power I go get my RS1000.' 'If you are considering a small powerhouse to help around the farm the RS1000 w/heavy duty material bucket and backhoe are a good investment. Here are a couple of quotes from their letter. They have the hydraulics, material bucket and backhoe. They have been proud owners of an RS1000 since 2009. I will try to get a few pics next week if I can.Our friends Mark and Jan were kind enough to write an RS1000 review for us. This tractor is one of 2 this guy built and had a 10hp cast iron briggs engine in it.way underpowered for this tank of a tractor.

All of the parts and metal that was needed to be build this tractor were 'obtained ' by workers at the Allis plant on their lunch hrs and during slow times at the plant ( shutdown ) the workers at the plant did all of the fabrication at the plant. The funny thing about this tractor is that it was a government job of a higher up at the Allis Chalmers factory located near my home. It appears that the kit came with a transaxle and other pre made parts and you had to find your own engine and other various parts. I did see the original plans that actually included blueprints. I asked the owner about the thing and was told that back in the 60s, struck used to sell plans to build your own garden tractor. I was at a old timers place the other day and there was a tank of a tractor I had never seen before. Anyone here own or ever seen or hear of a DIY home built garden tractor?
