Here we go guys.
I decided to start my own thread so I don't muck up tctractors final drive thread with my ramblings.
Long story short, I have an older dozer with a lot of new parts that has a final drive making bad noises. I found the tooling & a mechanic if needed from a couple of local contractors if & where needed. I spent a couple hours with the pressure washer tonight cleaning things up & will clear out a spot to do the repair tomorrow. Fixing this old rig might not be profitable but I don't want to be the guy scrapping some good old iron if it isn't too expensive of a repair. I don't want to buy a newer dozer & run into all of the same issues. I'm a little nostalgic as well.
I'm not good at taking pictures and posting updates but I will do my best because these type of threads have helped me a lot over the years. I hope to repay the favor with a thread of my own. This may seem like a simple project to some but nothing to tackle for others.
I hope to pull both finals for a complete inspection then repair as needed. My 2yo son was helping clean by peeing on the blade. We all do our part I guess. :D
Thanks,
Twisted
