plus the ignition switch caked up with rust on the inside(rusty lookin) and dont know where to get a replacement one with keys. I lost the key to it also.

it should have planetary steering....unless its an early 500 model.???? also its sealed up pretty well. im not sure how the clay could have gotten in there.unless it was buried and the stuff was liquid. im confused. its got to be out of adjustment.ive had mine in some pretty ugly places and ive never had anything get into the steering works.

I talked to former owner of this dozer and he said somebody told him the clay would clogged up around the driveline. He noticed it after he climbed a pile of dirt with clay in it.

That should be a very basic switch even if it has glow plugs. Should be able to pick one up at NAPA or a farm equipment dealer. Pull the old one and count the posts and make a sketch of what wires are on each terminal.

I was told the switch is universal type. That should be able to get one from a auto parts or equipment parts place.

Have you ever heard this machine run since you owned it?

No, I havent heard machine run. I know somebody else who used to use it before it was parked. He said it ran when it was parked cause the clay thing.

Some one is feeding you a pile of heuuwey

Also the engine only needs power to the starter if it would run
do you know anyone with a tractor engine cranker

I will try to locate the old info,directions and such on old computer ,which did not add up then,or I would have atleast looked it over when passing thru 522 to 17
