"First Resource" for most questions and problems
I was in the process of deciding on a dozer to buy. Google research on the basics.... clutches, brakes, motors, transmissions, parts, performance, cost, reliability ..... ALWAYS had a HE Forums post on the first or second page. In a weeks searching, I am sure that I read 150 - 200+ posts. I found a huge pool of resources and connections/links to aftermarket suppliers for parts and manuals for the old equipment that was within my budget.
Thanks to all who assist and advise us who are HE owners by chance and not by first choice.
