Hello, thanks for having me here.
I recently moved an old late 50's/early 60's era D8 2U hydraulic blade dozer for a gentleman that is going to restore it over time. It is a non-runner currently; had to pull it onto trailer, pull it back off.
In the process of loading it, we had to cut approx. 3' off the mounting flange end of the right side pusher arm to get it down to a legal height for transporting. Somewhere between the loading and unloading points unfortunately, the piece was lost.
I am searching around the countryside now for a piece of this arm or the whole thing (but preferably just a 4 foot section due to weight,) so we can weld it all back together to use it. The piece I need is like I said...the part that bolts to the ball socket on the track frame with the "bearing cap", plus about 4 feet of the section so I can put it back together.
Any clues, leads, or pointing in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Again, thanks for the help here.
