Dana 30 build for my '69 Bronco project.

Not exactly, but I'm ok with that. Scott

Well, it's back up for sale, this time for $8k. It was originally listed non-running for $5k, so $8k running/moving/steering doesn't sound unreasonable. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/923125939501642/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks

Damn, that's an impressive lineup. I've probably rebuilt and sold 6 or so 1111 series saws over the past few years, but typically sell them as soon as they're done and start on another. At some point, I need to build one and keep it.

Saw has been sold. Thanks

Ditto.

Ok, so I bought this saw for $450 and then I kind of went nuts with buying NOS/OEM parts for it; see list below. It has the original piston and jug; both were very nice, so I just installed some Caber rings and called it good. It also has a rebuilt carb, new fuel lines, unlimited coil, etc...

Still have it.

Yep, and those old dump trucks are relatively inexpensive, too. The D7 was originally a pony motor start, but it was converted to electric start.

Contacted the owner today to let him know that I wouldn't be buying the D7. I suspect he's going to be ok with that, especially since he can now ask more $ for it and let prospective buyers know that it runs and moves.

Yeah, there are some seriously heavy duty equipment trailers that will handle a D2 or D4, but it will take something more than an F450, I think. Dump truck should do the trick. I'm looking for a track machine; preferably a dozer, but would pull the trigger on the right loader, too. Thanks

It's for sale but I never bought it. I just got it running/operating, and that was a good stopping point. This one just needs waaaayyyy too much work.

For those of y'all who are familiar with old Cat dozers, since it looks like I'm done with this one, what should I look for if I wanted to buy one to tinker with? I'm thinking another Cat, something old (1960's vintage?) but in decent shape, pony motor would be great, and something that could...

Latest video is up in case anyone is interested.

Today was an out-freaking-standing day! Picked up my buddy Will at about 7 am; it was only 35 or so degrees, which is frigid for south Texas! We were on site at about 9 am, sun was shining and it was warming up nicely! Ended up in the mid-70's by early afternoon; just a gorgeous south Texas...

Ok, headed back down tomorrow to see if she'll move. We hope to have some technical expertise on site as well... Dropped $350 at Napa on various fluids and $58 at the local Cat dealer for the drain plug socket. If I don't end up using all the oil to top off the various reservoirs, I'll have to...

It fits perfectly. My flywheel is headed to see a gentleman in Tennessee with sandpapery legs...
