    Best Method for selling dozer

    I have a Cat D3G LGP 2005 with 2450 hours. I was wondering how to market it for sale. I am aware of Machinery Trader. It is on my farm. I have owned and maintained it in accordance with the manual since 2009. It is always keep inside my shop when not active. Thanks.

    Flange on rollers

    This is getting good. I rechecked today. From front to back it is indeed S, D, S, S, D, S. On the left trackside, the 5th roller back (which is a double flange) has a flange wore off. And as Mjrdudee1 noted, I have been doing a lot of sideways work on steep slopes during the last 1000 hours...

    Flange on rollers

    Here is what I remember from looking at what is there on my D3G, yesterday in the shop. From front to back, S, D, S, S, D, S. Now, one of the flanges was missing on the left side track at the 5th roller back where there is a double flange roller. Does that roller need to be replaced or what?

    Flange on rollers

    On a D3G LGP 2005 Cat dozer (BYR01003), I was inspecting the rollers and noticed that there is only one flange on some of the rollers. In some cases the same roller on the other track has both flanges. I assume the flange is worn off. If that is the case, do these rollers need to be replaced?

    Backing Uphill

    Jerry, I thought that would be the case. These machines are sure to be designed to efficently lubricate and cool the engine with todays technology. I understand the wear on the tracks and traction issue. Thanks.

    Backing Uphill

    A friend of mine who was a professional dozer operator for 22 years and now is raising cattle like me, stopped by my farm. We were discussing my Cat 2005 D3G. I was telling him about how I prepare some of my steep land for seeding new pasture. I stated that after I put down the seed mix, I...

    Diesel Fuel Sulfur Levels

    Thanks to all. So it is all ULSD now. One other point to add. I have a 2010 JD 5055D utility tractor and the manual for it "Strongly suggests the use of ULSD". I called the dealer to see if this was to just encourage low emissions or whether the more recent engines are designed for low...

    Diesel Fuel Sulfur Levels

    I have a D3G 2005 Cat Dozer. The engine is the Cat 3046T six-cylinder. It is used on a farm in Kentucky and I use the red dyed off-road diesel versus the low sulfur diesel for sale to use for non-agricultural applications. The off-road diesel does not have to meet the low sulfur requirements...
