"i reject your reality and substitute my own" - adam savage. i suspect my final words maybe "well shit, that didnt work"
instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality
yours is a tool bar machine you can drop the blade and run other attachments like cultivators and rippers ploughs etc. find yourself a copy of the OMI, parts manual and serviceman reference. these can be found on ebay and at swap meets.
Hi Jim, I have 5U13753 so mine's very similar to yours, apart from the toolbar arrangement. I've had mine completely apart (and I mean completely - every single nut and bolt from front to back) so if you have any questions, my memory is not too foggy yet : )
I also bought new clutch parts from GG - clutch plate, bronze throwout collar, bearings, pins for the fingers, and had the plates resurfaced. It's very smooth and solid now. How many hours does yours show?
The hour meter is filled with oil as of now so no idea of the hours.
Ive got the parts manual, operators and maintenance manual and have read and reread a lot of posts on this forum to get me going. Also watched youtuber called squatch videos to help me out.
Honestly I never would have bought such an old dozer without this foruum. Kudos to all the experts on here.

"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."
