Inspecting a abused D8

My dad bought this dozer from ironplanet and didn't ask enough questions or look at the pictures closer. The clutch is in bad shape, has a valve sticking or a bad injector, it's missing some pads, rails need to be turned, lots of blade damage and I can't operate it in this condition. I would call it a parts machine.

@dieselcrazy07 Located in Central Texas.  How much do you want for your 36A?

[huckster78]

i think alot of people on here are jealous of your dozer, they talk shit about it because their mad that you didnt spend your money on what they wanted. oh by the way, i got a stupid question, were you cracking the fuel lines to bleed the air out?

[DieselPowerTV]

@huckster78 Yes, my dad was cracking the fuel lines to help diagnose if any of the injectors were bad.

Think of this as a rescue project and not a mistake....fixing her up would be doing a very good deed..

This is a Tank :D



[Fordgpw1942ocalafl]

ill take it it will be a good test for wd-40 lol

[Arabhacks]

I have run equipment like that in Mexico!

Facts of the matter, they would fix the valves and injectors and whatever else, sand blast it and repaint it and tell me I now have a "new" tractor to work with.

[flyingmonkey1993]

still have this machine or did it get cut up?

[xeronicus]

Was this one a log dragger at one point or a pit miner?

It looks vaguely familiar to one that was sitting in an old abandoned quarry in festus,MO(d8, d9, and some kind of earth mover, OLD puppies those ones)
