I recently acquired my first bull dozer, and I'm learning to use her.
She running much better than when I got her, pony needed plugs and the starter needed wires cleaned. Diesel power has increased as I have run her about 20 hours so far. Fuel pressure has went from 5 to 25 psi, and she spits oil out the exhaust, enough to coat the pipe and smoke when working hard.
I had to do a oil cooler bypass immediately as it was leaking excessively and blowing oil everywhere. $90 to cut the existing pipes and add a loopback hose. Thanks for all the info.
I'm loving the dozer, it has a manual 9 foot blade and a homemade cover. I just made a duct tape cover for the arm rests.
I've got questions, but I'll put them in separate threads if I can't find answers.

same vintage as ours. just the wide track model instead. keep working her it might clear up the slobbering.
