Thanks for reponding. It leaks constantly...Oil level does drop..added some but it would not steer. leak is pretty strong.
I am assuming you are talking about the level on the dipstick on the floor in front of the operator seat.

You should be able to see a wash mark (clean spot washed by oil leak) somewhere if the leak is bad enough then. I would be sus to a hydraulic line rubbed through - be it steel or flex. If it leaks quick it's on the pressure side and slower on the return - nothing you don't know already, but it allows you to trace it from the pump.

I kinda only mentioned it, cuz you said you were thinking of buying it. Make sure it hasn't been run whilst dry. You could get all sorts of problems in the future if it has. A leak, even a bad one isn't so bad as long as it's well fed.

It could be a bargain - just a broken line mount which has caused the line to rub through or it could be big $$$. Think with your head not your heart, as another one ( a better one?) will always be around the corner.

Digger...
Thanks....
The price of the Dozer was so good, that I went ahead and bought it....
It is from a farm estate sale and the owners wanted to sell it bad so $5000 got it.
I figure the engine and scrap are worth that much and if I can fix it chepaly, all the better.

It is a 1977 model....
Already have had an offer for more than I paid for it as it sits, so I figure I did not make a mistake...

Hauling is not a problem since my cousin one farm away has a low boy that he hauls his excavator with. Just had to situate the trailer square so it loaded and since I already remove the blade and trunions, and hauled them separately, width was not an issue either.
Just need to find a little extra time to work on it now.....

Talked to a guy today that used to work for a heavy equipment salvage yard and he sid there is a rubber hose approx 2 inches in dia that is probably worn through that pickes up oil from the trans case and feeds the steering pump
If that is the problem, it should show itself as soon as I remove the belly pan.

The price made it hard to pass up especially when a good running Cummins NH220 take out goes around $3000...that would leave a lot of scrap f nothing else that easily covers the other $2
I am told the blade(tilt) will also fit a D-6

According to my manuals you need 10W engine oil for your tranny.
