Old Miss. Forestry Commission dozer. Was JD Green under all the yellow paint, so I decided to go back to all green. Early '56, so no yellow on hood.

Looking good! I am guessing the grousers are welded up? If not, that is the best set of two bolt pads I have seen.

Grousers show no signs of being welded up. Can't swear that they are the ones that came from factory, since the dozer had several previous owners before I bought it. Engine had <than 100 hrs. since being rebuilt and pins and bushings had <10 hrs. since being replaced. Did have to put in new(used) drive shaft and put in center section from a 40 wheel tractor since the one on dozer was cracked where it bolts to transmission case. Mostly just lots of wire brushing, sand blasting and painting. Also replaced pipe on cage or limb riser or whatever you want to call it.
