Olivetroad Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 That thing looks pretty good for its age - someone took care of it during its working life and they did a good job making the ROPS for it as well.

HeavyGunner Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I would guess it to be comparable to an D8 or a D9, thats a monster of a dozer.

Olivetroad Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Olive, Don't you speak English?I try and speak the local dialect, but da wife won't let me. She had some weird idea that we should use proper english in the home. She gave "SMICK" a big thumbs down.After getting her expert opinion on SMICK, I then got caught licking my knife and of course the kiddos started to copy it. I had to lick it, who wants the ketchup off scrambled eggs on your pancakes?Wife took away my syrup privileges.. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24723-old-dozer/#findComment-116574 Share on other sites More sharing options...
