If your thinking of and OLD dozer i sure hope you have a never ending check book and a vary well supplied tool box . and a OLD dozer is just that well used and abused. They are a high ware piece of equipment and if the initial price is CHEAP there is a reason . If you have never run one and have no idea what your looking at other then a nice Sherman and Williams overhaul then your already in trouble . Under carriages are not cheap and if you do not know what to look at and how to look them over and buy it only to find out that once your on uneven ground it throws a track because it is wore out and the joy of putting a track back on is no fun and gets wores as the size of the machine gets bigger. , then there is the transmission if it is a power shift or shuttle it may work while it is cold but after a couple hours of working it it may not move one way or the other . Then have a finial drive go out a tear up everything in there . small dozers are not built as well as a D10or D11 where they will run lots of hours with constant rebuilds , You have to look at the main frames well on smaller machines like the 1010-450's you have to look at the track frames also . at this time i am involved in working on a It was Such a good deal -------at first John Deere 440 , yea wright . What a nightmare . Maybe today or tomorrow i will have it running and like i told the owner once it is RUNNING and moves on it's own DUMP it as it still needs a TON of money put into it to make it usable and parts are vary hard to find . the one i should have went to look at was a 750 Deere with a blowed engine but here again it is buying a pig in a polk , Why did the engine blow ??? how bad were the hydro units how may gallon of oil does it leak everywhere . Can it be repaired , yea with enough Money throwen at it . I hear it all the time BUT I AM ONLY GOING TO USE IT ON THE WEEKENDS . They don't care what day of the week it is they will drop kick ya and you have two choices , one you spend money to make it work or you hope the price of scrap comes up . All work on any dozer is hard heavy and finger pinchen. If your dead set then find a heavy equipment mechanic to go with you and pay him a couple hundred bucks for his time and advice it will be the best money you spend even if you have to end up paying him a grand to look at several machines.
