UPDATE:!! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Went up to the mtn to try to get this dozer started. Thanks to some info from Pork (here on the crawler section) I checked the timing on the injector pump bled fuel lines again and Kept trying and woopie it started by golly. Let it run for about 10 minutes or so, It was really smokey for a while but quit and clear exhaust. Throttle gets stuck at midpoint and wants to just quit so got to be quick at adjusting the throttle. Well I put it in Fwd and 1st and it moved, Rev and Yes, Yes it is moving you guys. The Reverser works, the tranny seems to work, The Hyd have fluid level but they move slowly and sounds like it is low on Hyd so maybe it is a filter, it rolls but the right side seems slower than the left side so it tends to drift to the right on its own, the brakes work good and that is the reason that it wouldnt move before Revsr in Neutral, and brakes applied with lock on. Boy was I happy. Shut it off and then restarted right up. Didnt want to leave it running with no one there someone could of got hurt so I shut it off and Ran home and got the trailer to take it home. Got back and the darn thing would not start again. Finally it did but Boy did we have a heck of a time getting it up on the trailer. But yes it is home and I can work on it at my pace. I know I will have many more question to ask so you will be hearing from me. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Well that's good news. You have a reason to be a happy camper. Sometimes the problem is simple and you really feel good when it is. When I saw those wood blocks under the tracks in your pics something told me the tracks turned when they parked it.

Our local threshing show had an old D8 that had been sitting for years and they wanted to get it off the grounds. The owner had passed away so his son found a trucker to haul it. When they went to pull it the tracks didn't turn so they skidded it a ways with a Challenger. They stopped after 30 feet or so and someone pulled on the gearshift harder than before and it went into neutral. Pulled real easy after that and loading was MUCH easier that it would have been with the tracks locked up. Jim
