Engine and engine bay painted, motor installed along with other parts (we scratched the engine bay when we were putting the motor back in but I touched it up afterwards):

I did a poor job photo documenting this but here are some images of where I changed the track adjuster seal, let me tell ya this right here was a fight to say the least! Also there are some images of the dozer with all of the body panels installed and basically ready to go besides the cage. I still had alot of work to do at this point but I couldnt help myself, I had to do a project:

Here are some images of me getting it out and clearing out a small area on the side of our property, this was a happy day for me even though there is still alot of work to be done:

Like I said before I have alot more images than this so if you guys want to see something from a different angle I probably have a picture, just ask me and I will post it.

I am almost done posting about this but it wont let me upload anymore images. Does anyone know if when you delete a file from the upload manager, does it delete it from where you used it in a post or does it leave it there?

Great work! Nice to take it out and push some dirt after all that. Looks like you may be in for a little bit of track work in the future.

Yeah it was great to actually do something with it after a month of working on it for sure! It for sure needs track work, probably a borderline complete new undercarriage honestly but I am going to limp it by until I get the money to do it. Right now I have backed it into the garage to change all of the other fluids and filters, when I pulled the transmission suction screen I found these. They look like rivets but I am trying to figure out where they came from. Unfortunately, I think it means that I am going to be breaking into the transmission and steering system soon.

On your dozer does the gear box and transmission share the same reservoir?
