Hello everyone, I have a “newer model” Dresser TD-7E. My grandfather bought it for his farm when I was about 10 and I grew up operating it with him for weekend projects. He gave me the dozer for Christmas the year before he died. I had great memories on this thing and I have recently been trying to get it back up to operating condition. It ran and moved when I brought it to my house but could barely push anything. I did an out of frame rebuild on the engine first thing. I got it back up and running and did a small project around my house with no problems. The next step was going to be to change all the fluids and filters (probably should have done it first but I was too excited to get it out and drive it). Anyway when I pulled the transmission suction screen I found what I think are rivet heads. Do any of you guys know where these might have come from or what I am in for? I think it is from the steering brakes or clutches but I am unsure. No matter what it is, I know it’s probably not good. See the pictures below.
