Hey all, I’m looking at a komatsu 300 LC -7, I believe. Serial #A90215. I believe I am dealing with a lot of leakage/ priority issue. The main complaint is that you cannot perform two functions at the same time. If you raise boom and bucket the boom will pretty much stop same for bucket and...
I have a CAT D4K and after changing the batteries it cranks and no start. The follow codes are displayed 247-09 and 590-09 both A039. Both of these codes were in the history. So it’s happened before but not sure when. The temp gauge is also pegged out. Machine ran perfect before. Anyone have any...
I have 2005 CAT D3G XL , it is seaping oil at housing where the final drive assembly bolts to the dozer. To my understanding there should not even be any type of fluid able to get to this point. Final drive has pressure once ran, and no metal on magnet.

I’m having trouble with my case 1450b dozer. We just had the left finial drive replaced. When we started it up after the work was done the break in the winch was stuck on from a broken pin causing the engine to have a load. We got the break released and moved past that issue. I ran the bulldozer...
Hey guys. I'm new to the forum and am looking for any input on the transmissions of the late model d65. I purchased it about 3 years ago from my grandfather who had it under a barn for 15 years. He claimed it had zero issues but he's known to be a bit hard headed when it comes to equipment. I...
Howdy. I purchased a Cat D5C (S/N: 9DL0730). It has a steering issue that I am trying solve. This is my first dozer repair but I have worked on lots of automotive stuff.
Symptoms: The dozer will not turn left. Turns right ok. When you apply only the left pedal the machine just comes to a...

Hey guys. Have an old d7 dozer I’m working on at the moment. Have no way of identifying the model or serial number. Can’t find an id plate on it anywhere and the model letter is also not on the sticker. Wondering if anyone can help by looking at these photos. Cheers
First off, let me start by saying, I am by no means a heavy equipment mechanic. But I am fairly mechanically inclined and typically am capable of figuring things out/fixing them myself if I mess with it enough :P This will be lengthy but i’m trying to give everything i know and have done thus...
