Listen to what others are sayen. I have run and worked on Crawlers/ Dozers for years and i know of NO old crawler that has not had the snot worked out of it , been run hard and put away wet. Last one i worked on was just the same . One of my old customers had a 430 that HE took apart many years back and it sat in the corner of the shed and he decided he wanted it back together , BUT oh wait he forgot how . So he calls me to put the puzzle back together . Yes i got it all put back together and running had to make a new wiring harness fix other problems and told him flat out the undercarriage was just about toast. we found SOME NEW parts but for get under carriage . They are a high ware item and expensive play toy Steering clutchs are another item that will give you fits , when not used they will stick and rust together if they get water or oil on them old ones they slip , final drives can be a problem and bunch of work and costly to repair . I saw a U tube vid where a guy restored i think a D 2 cat and all the parts chasen and the total cost of the restore and i am thinking it was over 20 K . I know Bob had well over 6K in just getting it back together in his 430 and it still needed more if he could find even good USED parts. one of my other old customers KID just had to have this NICE OLD T 6 International dozer , Yep it sure looks nice in Org. paint the old 248 M engine they used in them run like new , BUT the right steering clutch is stuck the under carriage is junk , needs rails , several bottom rollers sprockets and ft idlers built up and re bushed . He has been looking for rails for like 8 years now can't find sprockets or even the old weld on repair rings So it sets and takes up space .
