Mini Dozer, Bulldozer, Crawler, Track Vehicle, Earth Mover by Struck (Not International Harvester or Farmall Tactor). Struck Magnatrac RS196K
Struck Magnatrac RS196K
Purchased as an unpainted unassembled kit back in 2016 for my 14-year-old son who made a 4H project out of this dozer. It was an excellent mechanical project and when it came time for painting, we chose to match it with some of our other Farmall/IH equipment.
NOTE: This is not an International Harvester machine, it was painted that way using red oxide primer and International Harvester paint as part of “tractor painting” experience for my son.
This dozer was used to level gravel and sand at one of my neighbor’s home building projects and after that my son moved onto running a skid steer as he got older. I estimate less than 30 hours on this machine. However, it has been sitting under a tarp since about 2018. Fresh gasoline and it started just fine. A great memory but taking up room and is now for sale.
Blade scoop attachment included. Also, there is a hitch installed at the rear and an added extra was a 12 Volt battery powered set of headlights and one taillight (some electrical wiring experience for my son during the build). We had plans to install a winch too so the switch was installed but we never got to the point of putting a winch on so you will see a label on the dashboard for it but it doesn’t do anything.
Comes with user/assembly manual, blade scoop attachment, and extra drive belt installed for if one breaks.
Estimated dozer weight is about 575 pounds plus 200 pounds for attachments. I do have a FEDEX freight account if you want me to try and ship to you. However, it is on a pallet and I can load it into a pickup truck pretty easy if you are interested.
