    Insurance bought my D8H. So I bought a d7h

    So my 8H high horse had a fire start under the trans and burnt all the hoses. We got it out but it got hot enough to boil the oil in the torque so they wrote it off. I thought it was rather unfortunate because it was a premium old unit. And searching for a good used dozer can be time consuming...

    '66 d7e 47a steering clutch issue
