HeavyGunner Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 My grandpa made a living with a 350 and a 450 JD dozer. They’re the best dozer made if you ask him.

1965 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) Question, if you were to hit a stump (or whatever) what would keep it from flopping back besides the top of bucket? Guess I’m asking do you need a stop of some sort? Since no driveshaft doesn’t matter other than snapping cable or clamp or chain? From looks of gearbox and frame looks like like a bush hog brand? They are tough Edited May 25, 2020 by 1965 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62024-qt-conversion/#findComment-451961 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are tough right on it is a bushhog brand from about 1954 . as for it flipping back don`t think the crawler will be moving fast enough to have that happen . there aren`t any stumps where I plan to use it 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62024-qt-conversion/#findComment-451990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
