Just recently purchased a D8N dozer. Machine is mechanically in good operating condition, But could use a new paint job. Wondering if anyone knows what companies typically would be willing to do this kind of work? Im located in Central MN and could definitely get the machine delivered within an hour or two from us. Looking for ideas or recommendations! THANKS
Have heard from another member here Ritchie Bros is the ticket. Best Dupont overhaul around.
Didn’t by chance buy it in Sparta, Wisconsin did ya?
Problast in hibbing did a great job on a dump truck for us they would be well equipped to get a D8 in http://www.problastmn.com/ I think Zeigler cat has a paint shop It would be interesting to hear what a rough cost is to paint that
Yes we did! You familiar with the machine?
Did you buy the 95 model? I bid on the 91 model with a ripper and it went to high for me after adding in trucking to oklahoma. Then was bidding on the 95 model with the u blade but couldn’t justify it being how it has a u blade and we have to get another blade plus get it home still. The they are both solid machines. We went up there and checked them out. You got a good deal if you got that one!
I wanna say the one we got was a 1992? Does not have a ripper on it. Looks like they had something welding onto the left hand side of the blade? From what we seen in the pics and video it looks to be an ok machine. Fresh paint will definitely make it look nice i think!
They told us that’s how they moved they’re conveyors and screens. That machine went really cheap.
