          Sorry to hear that. What was he doing when it broke?

          Those can be repaired with welding or brazing at a good machine shop.

          Did you buy the dozer new and how long ago?

              Two years? Yep, you're out of warranty.

              Sounds like the track was over tightened and then got a rock in the sprocket. I think your best bets for those final drive parts are going to be Circle-G, Northern Tool, or Yuchai directly. There may be others.

              Good luck.

                  Sounds like your dozer is down for the count. If the bevel gear case is cracked, that's going to be time consuming and expensive to replace. Consider taking it to a machine shop. The ROPS, both saddlebags, both final drives, steering clutches and brakes, swing frames and tracks, and dozer wishbone will have to be removed. In short, it has to be stripped, and the bevel gear case will have to be removed from the transmission. I have never heard of this component failing before. You are going to have to go deep into the machine to repair it. Hopefully, I'm misunderstanding you and the required repairs will be more simple.

                      Ok, I see the part you're talking about now. Never heard of that casting failing either, but you will still have to drop the wishbone, track, and track frame for that side plus the ROPS, saddlebag, and final drive.

                          Wow. Bummer. I've been all day figuring out cement mixer PTO (2) linkage. Both PTO's have forward, neutral, and reverse. It was a basket case. A jigsaw puzzle with half the pieces missing.

                              Hahaha. Nope. The drum has been empty for at least forty years. I had to chase the critters out of the transmission and PTO. roflmao

                              There had been a catastrophic failure at some point, as the PTO was hanging by the output shaft and all six PTO mounting studs were broken off in the transmission, and the PTO shift linkages looked like spaghetti.

                              At least the engine runs. Also doing a 12 volt conversion on it from a 6 volt positive ground system.

                                  The weather hasn't been my friend either. evil

                                  I wanted to upgrade the Ford starter Bendix to the new enclosed spring style but it's like 1/16″ larger diameter so it won't fit between the flywheel and clutch housing. Waiting for a new “old style” Bendix to arrive. Meanwhile, prepping the cab interior to paint.

                                      Sounds good. With the shiny blue paint it looks like you rebuilt that cylinder headroflmao. Was that an inspection, or did you lap the valves and clean things up?hmmm

                                        Originally I couldn't get it started so I popped the head to inspect for cracked cylinders, bent valves, etc. I bead blasted the head while I had it off. Come to find out it wouldn't start because of a 1″ vacuum line that was eaten away by the critters. It was also the first time I overhauled an updraft carb without using gaskets. Used super grey RTV – so far, so good. Trying to find a rebuilt, or new, Holley 659H with a power jet is impossible.

                                            All I like now is putting tracks together filling up with oil seat rops and adjusting brake and clutch…ended up changing clutches springs brake and pressure plate and washer while I had it down…anybody that’s gonna tackle a job like this you don’t have to take saddle bag all the way off just unbolt it and lay it across where the seat sits…makes it a little easier..lol..off to pick up 85-120 and some aw32

                                                  Bob I read on here somewhere that you used steel cable and a pulley for your brakes could you give me a drawing and list of parts you used like what size cable how long etc…hard to get the brakes adj just right with the solid linkage.I’d like a more stiffer brake right now they feel spongy.

                                                      This is the brake mod. The sheave take up has 2x ratio over the mechanical linkage. It works very well for me. It's pretty cramped installing it though.

                                                        I don't remember the length of the wire rope offhand, so I would only swage one end with a thimble and use cable clamps with a thimble on the other end for a rough adjustment of the length. Fine tuning the length is accomplished with the eyebolt.
