Man you're doing a good job. Keep it up. What seat did you go with and how much? If you don't mind me asking. Your dozer is darn near identical to mine and I'm needing a seat but I'm not paying CAT pricing.
Made by vevor I think. Got it on eBay. Don't remember exact price but I believe it was around 300 ish maybe less. Bolt holes were different, just had to drill new holes.
Ordered from a guy on ebay with the reducer and hardener in a kit and followed the directions. Took 2 gallons. I don't remember the particular seller or brand, but it was somewhere around 100 per kit I think. I didn't paint the track pads or blade surface cause you know about how pointless that would be.
Looking good 👍 after the purchase price all the parts etc plus your time is it still working out financially are would it have been better to purchase a more expensive machine in better condition
If I had jobs lined up to do with it definitely would have been better to buy a machine ready to go. This should be cheaper if you don't count the 200 plus hrs of labor I have invested. No free lunch as they say! This was one of those purchases that I was like it would be cool to buy that and fix it up as something to piddle with. If you count my time as billable hours I could have been doing something else that payed then probably not worth it.
i was always told if you need to weld on a fuel tank fill it till it runs out the cap and weld away
Every drop of that overspray went all over your stuff in the shop.that shit will coat a car 100 feet away.
Nice work Chase. The only thing I know about Cat engines is the 3406. That was one hell of a engine. Keep it up I’ll be watching.
Good job.
Looking good so far. I know it alot of work.
How much paint did you need?

You should be wearing a respirator, safety glasses and a ball cap. Also it looks like spray is getting blown into your shop.
Looks sweet! Don’t mind me asking but I’ve got a d3 I want to repaint. How did you mix your paint and how much paint did it take?

Did you use CAT paint or what brand?
Don't remember brand but I got it off of eBay. Just searched for new cat yellow.
I THINK it looks great ,now are you selling it or keeping it?
Probably keep, at least for now. I'll see how useful and practical it is to own and go from there.
