Recommended Manuals
kshansen, Thanks for the info. No matter who does the work I still like having the manuals. I didn't specifically mention the make or model till I make sure I'm going to get it. But, no mater what machine you get I figured you'd get the same manual for whatever you bought. Or, that's my way of... -

Recommended Manuals
I'm in the process of trying to accquire a used machine. The owner says he doesn't have the manuals. Not sure if he's the original owner. Anyway, I was wondering what manuals you would recomend getting. I'm not sure what came with it originally. If anything, other than an operators manual... -

Another D4D
I came across another D4D. Not sure of the year. But ,they said it ran and worked. But, it had a couple of problems that needed fixing. #1 Starter Needs Rebuilt. #2 Steering clutch needs work. The price is about as cheap as I've seen on a working dozer. Assuming it all works except for the... -

Need a little help please
I went and looked at a International 125E with a 4n1 bucket. It had a couple of small problems that he said he would fix if I purchased it. The U/C looked good and everything else operated well. What I need is some help identifying the year. SN# 4500008U007244. I saw a site and tried entering... -

Something I've noticed on some D4D's
D6 Merv, thanks for the reply. Hopefully if they will be there Saturday I'm going to look at a D4d 78A. Got some photos. But their not as detail and a little dark to really tell anything. They also have a Int. 125e that I'm going to look as as well. Hopefully they'll be there. Anything else... -

Something I've noticed on some D4D's
Is, that the Hydraulic Cylinders are on the outside of the tracks on some and on the front between the tracks and hood on others. At first I thought it was because of the 6 way blade. But, I don't think any have a 6-way blade. Then I thought the older ones had them on the outside. Nope, the one... -

Section for komatsu d20,21 and similar grey market dozers
RRR, Your situation is simular to mine. Although I don't really want to clear out good trees. I mean I just want to clear the dead, split, leaning, and limbs and branches that were left by harvesters years ago. I've mainly been looking at D4, or JD 650 or Case 850 sized dozers. But, I... -

Section for komatsu d20,21 and similar grey market dozers
I was wondering if anyone has some phot's of the type of brush, bushes and trees that one could realistically deal with without overworking the machine. I thought about getting one of these. But, thought I might need to go to the D31. I've got a lot of underbrush (vines, deadlimbs) and such... -

Buying a dozer, tonssss of ??????????
Construct'o, Amen to that. I went to look at some, that they said were good and "ready to work". But, the bushings had completely worn through on some and was wearing on the pins. On another, the rollers were so worn out, the rollers were wearing out the pin boses at a high rare of speed... -

Project John Deere 450 Purchase Perspective
If I could find deals like that I'd probably have one by now. For me, at that price it's a no brainer. I would think you could part it out for more than than. Or, sell the spare items and pay for most or all of the dozer. So, whatcha' waitin' for? James -

New to Site and wanted to say Hello. Oh yeah, I need some advice also.
I looked at skidsteers, Trackhoe, Crawler Loader, Wheel loader and dozers. Around here a decent sized skidsteer is about the price of a dozer. The trachoes are even more and the availibility is not very good. A track loader is almost impossible to find. Let alone a good one for under 25-30K... -

New to Site and wanted to say Hello. Oh yeah, I need some advice also.
I bought a tract of timberland. So, mostly what I'll be doing is cleaning up fallen timber, cleaning up the mess that the original owners did not. They had timber cut and the branches and trunks were left scattered everywhere instead of being piled and burnt. There isn't any dirt to rip unless... -

New to Site and wanted to say Hello. Oh yeah, I need some advice also.
I've been looking at getting a dozer for over a year now and still haven't gotten one. I work a lot on the weekends and by the time I get a chance they're already sold. Anyway, I started looking for something like the Cat D4d, D4c 80's-90's, D5c, D6c & D6d. I also looked at the Deere 450...
