Bulldozer vintage style

Update: if you prefer a more detailed model, see V2 here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4052193 This is an easy-to-print bulldozer with a vintage style that's not too scale-sensitive. Its design draws inspiration from small vintage bulldozers like the Caterpillar model 2, the Case 310 bulldozers, and the Oliver Cletrac OC-3, as well as toy bulldozers based on these classic machines. For more information, visit: http://www.2tontractor.net/ or http://cletrac.org/pages/model/pic-HG.html The wheelbase is a manageable 60mm, making it potentially scalable, although this was not attempted by the designer. This model was created from scratch using Tinkercad. Assembly is straightforward and can be done without supports. However, you'll need glue (superglue) and some 3mm diameter rod, such as wooden or carbon fiber, to assemble the model. The front axle measures 55mm in length, while the rear axle is slightly longer at 62mm. To print this model, use PLA for all parts except the tracks and axle end-caps, which should be printed in TPU (a rubber-like material) for easier assembly.
