You should be getting owner’s and parts manuals with it if it’s from a responsible owner.
I would question why it’s for sale with only 40 hours on it. What’s broken?
What type of clutch does it have, shuttle or disc? Steel or rubber tracks?

Bob, Thanks for you reply. Three questions. The Nortrac Dozers that were sold in 2005 list a 30 hp diesel and the newer 35 XTD list a 35 hp diesel. Are these engines made by the same company in China.
The engine change was necessary to meet EPA requirements. These engines are not made by Yuchai.
Since Yuchai makes these dozers, is there any siginificant difference between a 2005 and a 2016 as far as operating the dozer, In other words, are the newer ones improved ?
They are basically the same but have refined hydraulic controls, and some minor aesthetic changes.
What do you mean by notch dozing? Is using the 6 way blade to cut a trail around the side of a steep place considered notch dozing?
There are some similarities in that you will be crowding the bank and the tracks will be more subject to rocks and dirt falling into the swing frame. See the pic.

I have a 2005 Yuchai (Yuchai is the only manufacturer for this dozer, although they are marketed under a lot of different brand names, including Nortrac). I have made many mods to mine, but primarily to upgrade it and to enhance performance. None of the mods I made were absolutely necessary. They are fine little dozers and can do very good work, but a lot depends on the operator’s ability, experience, and how well they are maintained. I have over 700 hours on mine with no problems that I haven’t asked for. They aren’t suitable for notch dozing because their rock guards are a poor design and there are no swing frame covers.
I would be happy to answer any question.

Could be a TYM tractor. Also, YTO sells rebranded tractors like Jinma does.

Pictures came through fine that time. Beautiful tractor, but I don’t recognize it. Sorry.
