I go by the running hours usually. 250 oil change, 500 trans oil. I just flushed my differentials @500 hrs. The oil was pretty dirty. Oil gets expensive to change every 3 months. I'll just say I haven't had any problems with those intervals. I changed my transfer case @500 too.

Are you wanting me to write my autobiography under one general thread? Awe hell! :D

So here are the things I have had to do so far. I have not run the dozer for more than an hour because it's not ready. replaced tilt cylinder hydraulic lines and fittings overhaul door seals which were non existent, doors rattled badly, had to be fixed in the open position free main belt...

That Case looks like very nice. I have seen a few like that in my area. I like Case equipment. I don't have any experience with the newer Case stuff.

Last week when thought about removing the seat I looked behind it and saw the seat pocket was full of service folders. The all had a label with the serial number on them. The folder for this machine was there with about 6 others. The writing for the record entries on the face of the folders are...

Yes sir. It is very nice being out shaping the land and rewarding in many ways. As you know, a large part is equipment maintenance and learning your craft.

Well, I think my question has been answered my Sanden. Create a intermediate drive pulley to convert 1" to 3/8" belt drive. Maybe someone has that pulley combo made up for me. Still, your feedback would be great.

I need help with ideas how to add a compressor to this machine. The mount is not the problem, it's a belt and pulley issue. Someone said they had seen a D7G with a/c onboard. I can't find any information out there on this. It would be in the TM or some supplemental instance thereof. I'm sure...

To their credit, I sold myself on it. 😅

Yes sir. These newer auction machines are make-over units. The D7G was attractive for what I believe it is and what it will be. The new paint and look was not a major factor in my decision. My experience with the D5b was the biggest factor. How simple and straight forward to maintain. No ECU...

I agree. It's like that 95% sure statement. That means 5% sure with no chance of coming through. :LOL: There is a guy in my area who wants a lot of bucks for a M916-A2 or A3 w/M870 trailer. He says it's perfect which it's not! I told him nothing is perfect. He said my money was no good. :ROFLMAO:

I think they were successful in selling me a very nice D7G. If I had to do it over I would go see it upfront first. The questions I asked them were from my experience working on these. The control surfaces (brakes & clutch levers) are difficult to adjust after years of paint on them. If there...

I'm not going to bash C & C but it was not job ready and it still is not job ready. It was a flip and that is their business. I understand the limitations in their make-ready scope. I ask them to change the disclosure to include the known facts about the certain condition of things and they...

The steering wheel looks great! It has a gear shift knob too.:)

10/4! Still a 16MB limit per thread, or reply?

I would like to post a portfolio of pictures. What is the best way currently? A link to a public icloud or google share?

I say the dozer. I really did not mean to nominate my own stuff but I guess it doesn't matter.

When I was negotiating the sales price for this dozer I asked about its origin. They would not say. I asked for disclosure the condition of some things like current brake and clutch adjustments, track adjusters, history of any refurbishment. They would not disclose anything. It was kind of...

Have you heard of Trondahl Cove? Some rehab facility? Tennessee?
