Exhaust manifold- bolts or studs

I was going to post the question in the overload of the day thread, but then figured I'd just start a new one. Having a few beers with some mates and started talking about what we call GVM's (Gross Vehicle Mass) here in Australia and how they relate to the real world capacity of the truck. Now... -

Different weight oil in finals

Ideal grouser shoe width
Hi all; I have recently purchased a 1999 Komatsu D31P-20; it has the standard 600mm swamp tracks on it. I have run swamp tracks on previous dozers and they are hopeless for the work I do, so therefore I want to swap them out for single bar grouser pads. The standard size pads on the D31E-20...
