Thanks Mike! Other than me making some stencils and cutting a perfectly good blade 😂 my uncle dI’d all the work. Yes they are some really nice running dozers that’s why I don’t know if I could ever sell it. Thanks for watching buddy👍🏻

Alot of money in machine to let sit most of time. I went threw yard and sold everything I didn't use. Had about $50k in stuff just sitting. Nice machines 👍

Yes it is a lot of money sitting but it has been paid for years ago. My thought is if I do one job a year with it it’s still better than money in the bank that makes nothing. It’s hard to replace this preadmission stuff so I’m going to hang onto it for a while. Thanks for watching👍🏻

When you two were running together, I could almost smell the dirt. Double thumbs up.

Thanks Angelo! I have to! Quitting is never an option! Always move forward! 👍🏻

That's a pretty cool modification. I cut the blade down on both sides of my D3c lgp to fit the next size smaller cutting edges, didn't really need a blade that wide anyway for such a small dozer. So I went from 124" width to 115" width, which is still about 3" over width when angled. I also made the blade about 5" taller similar to what you did. I've wondered for years why the manufactures don't come up with some kind of transport solution for these small lgp dozers to eliminate the permit. Seems they could do something similar to what you did, or make the blade quick detachable or something.

I did see a few years after I did mine that caterpillar made a similar folding blade on their high sprocket D5 and D6 machines as an option.

Ingenious blade engineering Ed!! I bet you got some funny looks slicing the end off a new blade 🤯🤯🤯 Good to see you all played nicely in the topsoil too 😂 Happy Father's day Ed, Ray and dad !!

I bet you swallowed hard when you got the saw started and touched it to that blade! That’s a clever modification. Useful too. Just curious… did you also install a cup holder while you were at it? Watching that double push it is apparent the machines were operated by aficionados. Nice ‘n Nice! Did you say how many hours you had on yours? She pushes and looks like a new one!

The big difference is that yours will have one extra roller on the track frame which will make that machine so much nicer for finish grading. I was so disappointed when they came out with that the year after I bought mine. If it’s in good shape I would say go for it! You’re gonna love it 👍🏻
