just got back to the dozer - 31 pads. got pics of the bushings will send.

Thanks. What would I be looking for with those tracks? Most worried about the overheating issue. Will return today to top up radiator and run it again. If it overheats, worried this would be indicative of much bigger problem. Where else could I look, any chance there would be an easy non scary expla...

New to site. Looked at a 420 today, hadnt been run in 3 years, cleaned birdpoop off and it started right up. drove fine, but overheated. very little coolant in radiator.
