Stuck dozer
You got the process pretty much right. In my case, there was absolutely no possible way to go forward so I was working from the rear of the dozer. The log I used was a section of 8-inch post that just happened to be a remnant from my last attempt to park the dozer under the wrong side of our... -

Stuck dozer
Before we could get the log loose from teh right track I had to spin that track forward some more and raise the front of the dozer up with the blade. As I was raising the dozer up the downpressure from the blade snapped the post. The irony here is that the post we're using is the last remnant... -

Stuck dozer
We chained the log to the back of the dozer again, only this time we wrapped the chain around the pyramid grouser twice before hooking it so that the chain would be taking the force rather than the hook. Started the dozer up and it took the log under, moved back about a foot and then stalled... -

Stuck dozer
Well, She's out!!! And she managed largely under her own power with only a minor assist from our Montana 4340C. Chaining the log to the tracks made all the difference. Now, as promised: Pics!!!! Here's a general overview of the situation as it was around 9:00 this morning, after sitting all... -

Stuck dozer
Still no pics. The log trick almost worked, then the pins that hold the hooks to the end of the chain sheared off and it came loose. Got it moved back about 6 inches though. We're going to try again tomorrow with some hooks that weren't bought at Harbor Freight and a different attachment... -

Stuck dozer
Unfortunately, we're pretty much in the middle of nowhere. We'd probably have to hire an excavator to come in from at least 50 miles away. I don't think the county even owns an excavator. There's a ranch not to far away that may have a larger dozer, but I'm just not sure it could maneuver in... -

Stuck dozer
As soon as I realized I was stuck I shut it down and went to find help. Still ended up making things worse though. The back end is not in that bad of situation, but the front end is pretty deep. I think if we can pump the water out and chain a log to the tracks it will pull back far enough to... -

Stuck dozer
I was actually thinking about that this afternoon and wondering if it was safe. I had the log part right, at least. Had a log the width of the dozer that I was trying to get the tracks to take under. Should probably also note that this is an LGP machine with the pyramid / swamp tracks... -

Stuck dozer
So I took the little Mitsubishi BD2G out to do some work on the pond we're rebuilding today, trying to push out some more of the 4+ feet of sand that collected in the bottom since the dam collapsed a few years back. Everything was going smoothly until I got down about about three feet below... -

Section for komatsu d20,21 and similar grey market dozers
It's a Mistubishi BD2G. I've got the complete shop manuals on it, just not entirely sure exactly what the clutches are doing. -

Section for komatsu d20,21 and similar grey market dozers
Have a 1988 BD2G that is running great. When we bought it, the steering just didn't quite feel right, so I ordered a set of manuals and adjusted it. It was better for a while, but now both sides groan quite a bit when making harder turns and pulling the right-hand side steering lever bogs the... -

Montana Tractors
I've done some more research since I initially made this post and discovered a few interesting thing. Montana Tractors are actually made by LG Cable (A division of the LG conglomerate) in South Korea. The J B Hunt Group apparently holds import rights to the brand. Montana's primary...- BrentD

Montana Tractors
Anybody know anything about this company? The tractors are manufactured in South Korea and use Mitsubishi engines. I test drove a couple of the a few weeks back and they seem very well built. It was the first I had heard of the brand name though, so I was wondering it anyone has had...- BrentD

BD2G Radiator Cap
Thanks for the reply. That's exactly what I needed. Will get the cap today and get back to dozing over the upcoming long weekend. -

BD2G Radiator Cap
Anyone know what the pressure rating is on a BD2G radiator cap? I need a new one, and the guys at the local auto parts stores guarantee that they have it in stock if they could just translate the marking into something meaningful in US units. -

Mitsubishi BD2G Questions
Well, got my manuals from Kent Baugh Equipment in Hughes Springs, Texas. I've learned a lot about this little dozer that I would have just taken for granted. The lack of a torque converter in the transmission surprised me. I was expecting it to be more like an automatic transmission on a car... -

Mitsubishi BD2G Questions
Well, thought I'd add a couple of things to this thread. Went out to the farm this afternoon and ran a couple of checks. First thing I did was check the coolant in the radiator again. It was fine, so I started the machine up with the hood open and let the motor run for a a couple of minutes... -

Mitsubishi BD2G Questions
One more quick question before I go. This should probably be common sense, but is the water pump on the BD2G belt driven and if so, is it by a separate belt from the fan belt? -

Mitsubishi BD2G Questions
Thanks for all the info. I'll try to get a diesel mechanic out to look at the cooling situation before I run it again for any length of time. I can diagnose and fix gas engines but don't have enough experience running diesels to know what is normal and what is not. I just knew the sound I... -

Mitsubishi BD2G Questions
$#!@!!! That thought hadn't even crossed my mind... Yes, the top of the engine does seem hotter than I would think it should be. I guess if the water pump is not circulating, the pressure change for the water in the engine approaching boiling could provide enough circulation to keep the temp...
