Anyone haul a 450G JD dozer on a single axle rollback
Yes I get the hot shot thing. I'm headed up to Montana to take a look tomorrow the GVW is 33,000 and he says the light weight is a little over 18,000. I don't think the cab and chassie could weight much over 9 K so I'm thinking it's a well built bed. The tag is gone on the bed so don't know what... -

Doug fir is our best bet here in Oregon. Haven't seen any white oak around here. I had not thought about oil on the rubber good tip. -

Anyone haul a 450G JD dozer on a single axle rollback
It's a 96 L8000 with a 8.3 Cummins. If I buy it I'm thinking about just bolting some planks to the deck. What do you guys think about rubber belting verses planks? I'm probably going to fabricate some steel rails that drop in the stake pockets so the dozer won't slide off the side also. -

Anyone haul a 450G JD dozer on a single axle rollback
Thanks for the reply what did your rollback light weight and could you legal the axles? My Excavator only weighs 11,000 so not worried about it. -

Anyone haul a 450G JD dozer on a single axle rollback
Has anyone hauled a John Deere 450G Dozer on a single axle Rollback Truck? The Dozer weighs real close to 15,000 lbs. just wondering if anyone does this on a regular basis. And how well it handled it and drivability. Lot easier to find a Single axle rollback then a tandem. -

Steering clutch and brake
I spent the morning on my JD 450G Dozer pushing dirt it was running and steering fine. Then all of the sudden the right steering lever on a direct drive started acting strange. When I'm backing up if I pull the lever a little faster and harder it grabs then still works but it has always been...
