Now that is a great idea! That way, the large cockpit piece is
actually useful. The part could probably be used to as a boat bow as
well? Apart from the fact that a symmetric boat might look a bit odd.
Prior to reading the post, I viewed the Loader Dozer as a collection
of lots of large, useless items. (Well the bucket is cool, but I have
three already...) Now I know that it has one less large useless item.
The large chassis is still a nuisance, wouldn't you agree?
BTW, you mentioned that you liked the tilting mechanism on the Loader
Dozer. Perhaps you will enjoy looking at some images of a Loader Adam
Ogle built, which uses a similar mechanism to both lift and tilt the
bucket:

It uses the wheels and bucket from the Loader Dozer.
(His model originates from my own loader, though:

so this was a shameless plug anyway...)
