I'm looking at buying a D3C dozer, but wanted to see what year it was made & if anyone knew where an engine for this machine might be found affordably. Serial number is 6SL01802. Any & all help is greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!!
I found a cat site where you can look up the year etc https://parts.cat.com/AjaxCATPartLo...Id=21801&serialNumber=6SL01802&keyword=&link= looks like a 1996
Your info is correct. Built 24th May 1996. From the list below it looks as though it was originally built as a very basic machine.
That tractor came with a 3046 engine a 5XK . that engine was fairly common at that time. such as 315 ,933, D4C D4G ,D5C ,D5G and others. If you need a complete engine check with equipment scrappers. Bob
