I'm looking at purchasing a Dresser TD-15C and was looking for the specs, weight, length, width, height and blade width of a semi-u blade both straight and angled for moving? Any help is apprecaited.
weight. 32000 to 38000 on average depending on how its set up length.from side of semi u blade to back of track 16' give or take a few inches height. 9'9'' to top of open rops blade width semi-u blade. 10'6'' with corner bits. 10' without corners but if there's been were plates added to the sides it will be over 10' you can not angle a semi u blade
TD-15C Thanks for the info, I went and looked at the machine, it appears to be a '72 model, the undercarriage is in good shape, a lot of life left it in for what I need on a farm. Other than the water pump having some play and the fuel pump leaking a little, everything else looked ok and the machine ran as it should. Is there any wear prone areas on the track frame, equalizer bar, etc I need to look for? Also when turning to the right, the dozer wasnt as smooth as it was turning left, not sure if that may be a brake band issue or from just sitting for a while? Thanks again.
The front track frame guides in behind the front top rollers, if they get worn to much they can cause the pivot shaft to break from allowing the track frames to move to much side ways, they are easy to build up with weld and grind flat again. The pivot shaft housing is filled with grease. They don't have brake bands but have a multi disc brake set up that all runs in oil, may need adjusting, nice machines. I spent over 20,000 hrs on 15Cs in NZ had 3 new ones did over 6000 hrs on each
