Rick, The man on original post never mention his budget or his bank account.Who's to say he isn't well off, or dirt poor? People seem to take alot of facts not in evidence as to what is posted.
The dozer you were anticipating rebuilding, there were parts available at various places. Delusions of grandeur occur when you can't separate desire from need.Simple as that. Our OC 46 could have been a prime candidate for the scrapper,had we known the damage was that extensive, before we purchased it, I can tell you we WOULD have purchased it,but not at the asking price. My Son and I put many enjoyable hours on working on that machine.What we ended up with is a prime SMALL crawler loader. The work that was accomplished by that machine for land clearing and secondary drainfield site and extended ground area for tractor shed,tree moving,did not cost us what local excavators wanted to charge, just for extended drainfield coverage. I sincerely doubt with your farm and related purchases of units will not let you afford a decent usable dozer/loader without having to face repairs. Like the man told me once, I'll pass it on to you, "your chasing the will'o'the wisp", if you think you can buy a decent low price dozer, while trying to maintain a farm. From reading all your posts and reading between the lines,the time to rebuild the unit plus parts would be prohibitive due to farm expenses. As I stated buying a good dozer with no problems,no repair costs,no time loss from farm work, is indeed chasing the will o the wisp, unless one has a huge bank account.JMHO. LOU

As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
