I took the blade attachment off the 440IC 831 and put the bucket back on. Time to move some dirt.

Being able to have the grandkids come and play with grampa’s toys has been great. Telling my wife that the equipment was for the grand kids worked for a while. Not so much anymore.

I had to put the 410 backhoe loader in the shop for some work so the blade attachment came off the 440 IC 831 and the bucket went back on.

For most people the 2 stroke 53 series Detroit Diesel is a love it or hate it experience. I am in the love it group both operating/driving them and rebuilding them. If I was operating a dozer 12 hours a day it would be a much newer JD or Cat. I keep watching for a 435 or 440 wheel tractor for sale c...

21 hours on the rebuild. Good oil pressure (for a detroit) steering clutches and brakes working ok. Still chasing hydraulic hose and cylinder leaks. The #64 6 way blade is MUCH handier than the #602 4 way. The engine has a 180 degree thermostat hasn’t been over 185. In the fall the dozer will get mo...
