Actually Lou I've been spending on the average about 600 a month in repairs over the last year or so. I like to fix things right. A simple clutch job on the 1206 ran about 1500 when it was all said and done without any labor. My 8N engine rebuild was right at 1200. I could have afforded to work on that dozer but finding the parts and the cost were factored into the decision to get rid of it. It needed A. new pins and bushings or B. complete chains both NLA. New sprockets, new steering clutches and brakes. Complete engine rebuild and a head for a British IH engine. Again expensive parts. Had the wife's uncle who is a retired heavy equipment mechanic try to run down parts for me and was coming up with nothing. I did find a complete engine, attached to a beat to crap wheeled trator that the seller knew what the engine was worth and wanted about twice that for the tractor. So with starting to buy farm equipment and livestock it was time to part ways. The cost of repairs was going to far exceed the cost of buying a running dozer and with the knowledge gained my next "buy" will be a bit wiser. My next one will A. run, B. be complete C. have at least some parts availability and D. a heated shop to work on it in......LOL
