Mechanic87 0 Posted October 1 Looking to get an international Td8e dozer. I know it needs undercarriage work and minor things like ignition switch etc. trying to find a place to price parts out to see if the deal is worth it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mechanic87 0 Posted October 3 Well after seeing the serial number it seems to be a td7. Haven’t had a chance to put my eyes on it to see if turbocharged or not but for 3GS it still seems like a good deal. Not really a market for them here but please correct me if I’m wrong. Any input would be helpful Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nomorejohndeere 142 Posted October 3 At the top of this forum is a sticky for places that might have parts Nobody can add to the sticky so it is getting dated but a place to start Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pede 3 Posted October 4 Dresta is actually Polish and was the original company IH went to when they started I believe the B line dozers and were responsible for the C/E/G's as well, LiuGong is the current owner and no longer makes anything for the older line. Now with that said, Komatsu still has rights to some parts especially on the E's, the G's were caught in transition from Dresser to Dresta and quality suffered.

farmalldr 36 Posted October 4 I would first make sure undercarriage parts are still available for a TD7. Check with any construction machinery dealer. They all have access to aftermarket parts. Dennis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RBootsMI 105 Posted October 5 Depending on where you're at, if you're near MI you could call the dealer I used to work for. They deal in new and used parts. Used to see those dozers in from time to time for undercarriage or other work. 517 321 8000. They'll ship anywhere as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pede 3 Posted December 1 77, welding on undercarriage is a whole different ballgame, It's fairly easy to buildup rollers and idlers but needs to be done so no machining is required. A general rule of thumb is if it's machinable then it's not hard enough, it's a fairly high rockwell to handle the impact and abrasion of undercarriage and takes very special rod or welding wire.
