Hi Guys,
My church recently got a D4D for some earth moving on our church land/camp project.
We recently brought it into town, and started cleaning it up getting it ready for work in the spring.
Now that we had it, we, we, we're able to take a really good look at it's condition ( especially the undercarriage ) and it looks like it's shot.
We don't have the funds to repair/restore the U/C. So I'm kinda stuck between a few options.
Do we try to slap on a temporary redneck fix?
Just run it until it falls apart?
Abandon it, and just get a different machine?
I'm open to all thoughts and opinions. Anything that would keep it running for a few more seasons. Please pitch in your thoughts.
*btw, ive never operated a Dozer. My experience is limited to living on a farm and operating farm equipment. I'll attached a few photos of the undercarriage.
