This thing SAT for over 25+ years and after a getting the hydraulics all rebuild and the clutch unstuck, its time to dive into a whole bunch of other issues that I've discovered since I've had the baby bulldozer in the shop!
Today the plan is to dive into a whole bunch of additional problems from fuel issues to new hoses for the cooling system to cleaning up the electrical system!
So sit back, relax, and join me as we dive into my little bulldozer and start getting this machine back to usable condition so we can save it from the scrap yard and put it back to work after ALL these years!

This is my 1970's Caterpillar D3 LGP Bulldozer with a 6 way blade and wide tracks. It's powered by a Caterpillar 3204 diesel engine, and the machine is in fairly good shape considering it's lack of care over the last decade and a half, but it does have some major issues!
