My adventure to build my own shipping container home starts with a lot of dirt work. Fortunately I bought a beefy piece of equipment to make short work of it.

When starting it give her some fuel , mechanical diesels need the bump in throttle to start easily untill things are warmed up

I’ve never worked on a A6, I’m wondering if there’s a dip stock under the operator seat . The D60E has one maybe is the same maybe is not. Engine on these have no dramas. Steering is which will be abit in concern. Clutch is not that bad they just need adjustment. If it is the same like the 60E, u can adjust from removing the dip stick cover.

Thank you for the comment. I'll be checking to see if I can find that dip stick.

Looks a little heavy for that trailer and truck kinda a dot risk

I agree and so did he. When he delivered it he said that the DOT would have charged him with a violation. Thanks for watching.

Looking at the dozer on the video, especially while it's still on the trailer kinda plays a little havoc with the perception. It looks small but then something goes into the foreground and it suddenly looks much larger. But if I had to guess, it looks to be a D5 or earlier D6 machine. Manual adjustment for angle of blade. For sure a tier 0 machine, so no emissions control to be concerned about. Which means if it doesn't start, battery is low or dead, or there's a fueling/air issue. Possibly a compression issue but that would show as spitting oil or over pressure in the crankcase. Just keep an eye on the pump seals for the trans, change out the oil in the engine, hydraulics, gear boxes and final drives on a schedule. Maintenance is always key and it'll be something that someone else will be enamored with purchasing when you're elderly. I also really dig the logging winch on the back. If you do plan on log dragging with it, I'd suggest building a logging arch, running the cable to another pulley in the arch to take the strain off the mount and chassis. If not, it's still a very cool setup just try to avoid any pulls that are beyond 45° from the centerline of the winch and dozer. To do otherwise risks cracking the drum case or other damage to the machine.

Thank you for your detail comment. This dozer is a Komatsu D60A-3. I called the local Komatsu dealer to find a service manual and they couldn't find anything on it. After much Googling I found a random British website selling a service manual for this unit. Cost was 34 British Pounds ($42 USD). It was a PDF copy of the full manual. I was able to dig though it and it has a wealth of useful information. I'll be posting a "Run Through/Review" video of this machine. I don't plan on using the winch as the trees on my property are relatively small that even my Track Steer can rip down or pull out easily. I plan on selling the winch as I'm sure I'll never use it.

@@MyBoxedInn Neato torpedo for the manual. It may be easier to leave the winch if it's a real oddball and they do come in handy when least expected. But hey, your machine so you have the last say on the matter. I'm looking forward to seeing more that's coming up. Keep it safe out there.

@@kirkpalmer1709 Thank you for the confirmation. I'm not super hip to being able to visually id bulldozers aside from taking a poke at a size estimate. Well, dozers that are not Terex, those seem to be able to be picked out no matter what. Hard to overlook a screaming Detroit and a single lift cylinder, never mind that odd mint-ish green paint.

Always pull the steering clutch lever back BEFORE you push the brake pedal down that avoids the jerky turns I see in the video

does trailer have 4 tires or surely 8?

8 I believe but I didn't count.

It looks like your blade is not working. Its a 6 way and you just have it going up and down. If you use it for making level, the blade should be 0-0 Tilt is for crowning Rotate is for cleaning/side discharge

@MyBoxedInn Жыл бұрын

Unfortunetly it's not a 6-way blade. This dozer is way too old for that technology. It was built in 67'

@mariebennett5739 Жыл бұрын

We just called them an angle blade none of this 6 way business
