New to the board, new to this old dozer. Think I blew the head gasket today. I have tons of questions.
Serial appears to be 3028982
Model D450
Ordered filters, a dipstick( went missing today while pushing brush) head gasket, valve cover gasket, switch for the alternator connection. Want to order new head bolts but at $84 ea. I may try using the old ones.
Need to replace battery cables and manufacture new seat cushions.
New hydraulic hoses are on the list and a couple of cylinders leak so rebuilds are on the list.
What kind of hydraulic fluid do I need?
Oil specs? Delvac 10w30?
I'm thinking this is a 207 Cummins. 188 may be more likely after searching gaskets and serial #s. Looks like a casting # on the block A136813.
Any help is much appreciated!
