I recently have bought some land and it has come with 5 very old D8H dozers. one runs great while the rest have sat for a about 5-10 years. from what i understand they all ran fine when they were park but they just weren't used. 4 of them have the hydraulic blade while 1 has the cable lift instead. tracks and undercarriage all look decent actually. all of the dozers look to be of the D8H 46A family.
I'm hoping some of you guys know what they are worth. any maybe some pointers on how to get these suckers running again.
even i just scrap them, which would kill me to see a machine like this go, but what is the scrap value?
are they even worth trying to start. i am a pretty good diesel mechanic but never had to mess with a pony motor before. they were little before my time. if the tags are missing where can i find the numbers stamped?
i also have about 5-6 977L or similar to that track loaders. one runs but the rest do not. i haven't had an opportunity to get the number of them but are they worth get running? any hints of where to find the serial numbers? or just scrap them.
there is also a d6 on the land but i can't find the number on it anywhere. any hints?
i know that this is a long post with a lot of questions but any help is greatly appreciate all the responses. this is my first post on this site.
