Where to buy parts for a Td8e dozer.

[Mechanic87 0]

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.

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

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

may be dead end as they were sold to (russians/korea) dresta  and sold again closed

govt has intentionally dried up parts in mind of the cali rules going to buy new every 2 ,as by other threads this is hitting Eu hard now

Will do thanks for the input. Any special things to look for when I’m looking at it for purchase?

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.

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.

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.

meridian equipment in washington state here have a lot of parts but worked at a quarry long ago rebuilt track and an ln25 can do wonders with .045 i am not a machinist but anything can be welded and machined down.

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.
