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.

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
