Looking at a 80s Komatsu D65P-8. Tell me what's good about them, or if there are common issues with them. Thank you

    You will love it as an operator, and hate it as a mechanic. For some reason in my experience, the Komatsu dozers are always a pain in the ass to work on. Usually have to remove 5 things to get to one area over the entire machine and their hydraulic hoses.....no matter what the size, will have 10 or more bolt clamps through the entire length of the hose. Did I mention I hate working on them?
