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?

Well, the D7G had 10 gallons of 15w/40 in the push arm. The tilt cylinder hydraulic hoses were shot. Chaffed totally through the wire braid. C&C rebuilt the tilt cylinder but that was not the real problem. The cab door seals were shot. The cab air system was full of rat poop, dead fire ants, and...

A long time ago but I found the official RWP photo. It was more than I can handle...😅

Buried in the creek mud...

I have a portfolio of pictures of my MV rehabs. I guess I need to move them to a share in the cloud for viewing.

Actually, it came from the oil field I believe. A farmer bought it in the early 200x and it sat in the pasture for 15 years. No military origins. I came along and made a deal on it after starting it up. Olive is my favorite color and I decided to give it the retired military motif. I thought the...

Let me narrow that down to 1970s - 80s military earth moving equipment...

I have been so busy with truck and equipment rehab I have had no time to post my projects. Finally getting to a point where I can share some of the projects I have completed over the last 8 years. I use this my equipment in a small business so it is hard for me to stay current on Steel Soldiers...

So, I took a leap of faith and bought this beast. Was it a good decision? I think so, but time will tell... If you are interested in the discussion then just ask. Was it 100% ready to go? No!!! Was it worth the price paid? Maybe, we will see... I am in the process of adding AC and some of my own...

10/4! Do I have permissions to post there?

I'm not sure where to post information or questions regarding heavy equipment like D7G. I would like to know if anyone else on SS owns, operated, or worked on the D7G? Maybe a MV Heavy Equipment Forum? Did the DOD ever add A/C to any heavy equipment?

Thanks! Don't mean to get off topic here. I will followup on that AC thread. I have a RedDot evaporator and condenser ready to go. I just need the compressor mount, or build one myself. That kit on eBay is too pricey for me without knowing more about it and the installation thereof. That is more...

There is so much to digest on SS. It's great! I just wish I had more time to read all the topics which are so helpful in solving maintenance and upgrade issues. I notice you have the AC compressor mounted. You also have a battery disconnect module on your generator. Is that correct? I want to...
