Hi all! We have an Eimco 103MC that's been sitting out in the desert for about 2 years. I got it started with surprisingly little effort, but struggled figuring out how to move it. I'm wondering if anyone here can help me? All the gauges are working and showing good pressures. I was able to...
All, looking to figure out a way to add Float function to the dozer blade on my new 2012 JD 35D. Do a lot of landscape grading work with our minis towards the end of jobs and float on other machines has always helped to leave jobs looking clean and professional.
Our older 2000 Cat 302.5 came...
Hi all! New here, somewhat new to heavy equipment. I'm working an Asian pear orchard and we have a Mitsubishi I think it's a DB2F, what it is it's a wide tracked swamp type with a six way blade. No one here at the orchard knows anything about it. Old owner bought it and died. It starts...

Hi all,
We have a Komatsu 85-18 bulldozer with a cummins 855 engine. The engine has recently started foaming up the coolant (we use fleetguard rust inhibitor and rainwater) out of the radiator cap and over the bonnet after approx 15min of operation. A ridiculous amount of foam comes out and can...
Hello,
I’ve recently come into a TD 25 dozer. It runs like a champ, and I’ve run it about 10 hours since I got it, however, as of a little bit ago, I lost most of my clutch pressure. It still runs strong, and if I idle, it keeps pressure in the “blue zone”. The moment I put it in gear, I lose...

Hello,
I am new to these forums and new to using heavy equipment. I have a Cat D6 5R Ag crawler. I believe it is a 1946. So it is a 70+ year old tractor. It's got a straight blade on it and when I don't need to use it as a dozer, I can remove the blade pretty easily. The engine pretty much runs...
Hi,
I'm looking for pictures of any videos regarding Fowler Challenger 2. It will be around the time frame of 1955.
Also if anybody got any information on why they stop producing the dozer would be helpful too.
Thanks in advance!

Gwynne
We have a 2000 Caterpillar D4C IIIXL Hystat and have been doing some earthwork for the neighbor. We left the dozer at his place overnight and the next day he took the liberty of topping off the fuel tank. The problem is that instead of filling the fuel tank, he poured approximately 3 gallons...
This (above) is a photo off of our old slope board. We would like to find a replacement but searching the numbers reveals nothing. We don't know where it came from.
