The old Cat dozer FINALLY earned a FULL service with new oils, filters, and quite a few other maintenance items! So today we'll dive into all the service it needs as well as a few other side quests as we prep this old dozer for it's return voyage to the dirt it's been missing for over 25+ years!
The old dozer is getting REALLY close to being ready to take to the proving grounds and test on it!

This is my 1970's Caterpillar D3 LGP Bulldozer named "Alester"... It has a 6 way blade, wide tracks, and is powered by a Caterpillar 3204 diesel engine. The machine is in fairly good shape considering it's lack of care over the last decade and a half, but it does have some major issues that we're working through one step at a time!
