Seems to be ok it pushes a blade full of dirt in forward. Had th shorten up a bell housing bolt to get it into reverse. But i think thats why i ended up getting the dozer. The other guy looking at it probably thought the trans was junk.

The oil fill/dip stick is on the right hand side as im sitting on it. Yes i was using the clutch when trying to use the reverser. I can feel it "click" twice but it wont move. Just got it back together and ran it for an hr or so out back in the mud/water. Tht got the tracks loosened up. It studdered...

I'll find out more when i meet the previous owner in person this summer. The reverser does not seem to work. What do u think the price range would be to fix it? If i try to use it i hear a lot of rattleing. Should have the water pump on it today and oils changed. Then its time to find out what else ...

Theres a pic. I have it tore down in my garage rite now. Water pump is bad. And changing filters and fluids. Quite the learning curve from my case 550 dozer.

I found what i thought was a 440 dozer in a barn that had fallen down. From what i have been told it has sat since the 70's. Long story short i ended up getting it from the owner. Almost No wear on the 5 roller under carriage. Some one got the motor freed up a couple months ago. Runs like a top!! Hr...
