Problems I found with the cat d3c dozer I purchased so far

[@brentvonaschen7064]

I have a newer Cat D3G XL that is leaking 13 gallons fluid in a few days. Leak is in the mid section. Been cleaning it up and removing access panels to try and locate the leak. Watching your videos to learn as I am not a certified operator or technician.

Please keep us informed on your progress! Sounds like a lot to do,it kinda makes me want to work on my dozer! Good luck take your time and get it all done!

Look forward to seeing the project Chase! Thanks for taking the time to share your projects.

[@usdpaulp]

As always I'm amazed by your knowledge of everything mechanical. Can't wait to see the repair videos.

[@jimstewart2625]

Can't wait to see more of this project. Thanks for the videos.

[@zayin123]

Excellent. Makes me smile, a nice project.

Looking forward to more videos of dozer repair. Hope you got a good deal on it. I bought a 76 year Dresser TD8 two years ago and knock on wood, I’ve had very few gremlins to work out. Got some cylinder seals to replace. Might could pic a cat mechanics brain if you ever run into one.

What was the purchase price?

[@JerichoRally]

Awesome diagnosis! Thanks for doing this!

[@tristardiggin]

A lot of good info about things to look for. 👍

[@LifeWithChase]

Don't impulse buy broken dozer off of market place 😂

[@mikeanderson6422]

Looking at a 89 D4 that runs but doesn't move, what did you buy that unit for ?

[@jazzbass321]

Man, what was the purchase price?

[@michaelcarron3418]

Get all the shop manuals for that machine, take pictures from different angles for reference, safety first, PPE BEFORE YOU TAKE APART. Parts numbers OEM CAT parts, no China crap. Take oil samples, Take filters apart, look for metal fines?

[@SteveRobReviews]

Looks like a factory wiring manual and service manual would be worth buying.

[@LifeWithChase]

I don't know, they are pricey! I've found a little bit of info on the internet I've printed out.

[@jamesbond1295]

I think trimming the blade down for its next life is a great idea! should make the whole machine work less and will still be plenty wide.

[@johndorazio3759]

How do you crack a frame of a bulldozer like that

[@LifeWithChase]

My guess is digging stumps and hard materials

[@donaldcassidy155]

you can fix it good luck my frend

[@stonecold313]

Man!looks like a nightmare, but I know you with get her done.

[@jrferguson9456]

Sucks trying to figure out how things are supposed to be after somebody has already changed everything to rig it up instead of fixing the issue to begin with

[@patrickthedeplorable95]

Looks like you have a major case of reverse Portuguese engineering going on Chase. Seems like you know a lot about Cat stuff. Check out Western Truck and Tractor repair on the tube. That guys is the best I’ve seen working on similar equipment

[@LifeWithChase]

I've seen a few of his videos.
