I have been posting lots of questions here and I appreciate all of the answers and assistance from many of you.
I thought I'd take a minute and post a pic of my dozer. I bought this, candidly, without knowing as much as I should have. Since I found a few busted rollers, only after getting it home,  it's been sitting since I unloaded it. My wife now uses that fact as a way to win any argument about any subject: "oh yeah well you bought a dozer that has cleared zero land" or something to that effect.

The previous owner, based on what I have learned in the last 2 months, was more clueless than I was and I believe that he was once an employee at Earl Scheib. So I have spent time undoing some of his used-car-lot style work (bungee cords replacing return springs or notice the great "HD 11" sticker made out of electrical tape and lots of duct tape in the oddest places).  I would not be surprised to find manure being used as the foam padding in the "re-upholstered" seat..
My new rollers will be here next week thanks to Trevor and I look forward to getting this on the ground again.  I have been putting off all other maintenance until I was sure I could get this rolling again. A full fluid/filter change is up next as well as a cleaning on the right steering clutch.
The dozer seems strong and starts immediately every time.

my dad had one exactly like that back in the 80s my uncle bought it new in I think 1961 that machine cleared a lot of ground the only reason dad sold it was it was so hard to haul and you had to get a permit each time it was hauled were the hd6 was easy to move

Don't feel badly, took over a year for me to get down in the dirt with my 7G. Had steering issues, brake issues, hydraulics issues then it developed even worse transmission slippage but I did manage to get some work before I got the donor to destroy for spare parts.

I hope to have the donor trans I mine this winter and be running at a better clip come spring.

Yep, had one just like it- there is a photo of it on the "crawler pictures" post.  Worst part of those old tractors is the oil clutch wants to drag all the time- hard to shift until the oil gets hot.  (You have to be quick on the gear shift, and 1st reverse is hopelessly slow for most dozing.  I wish they would have had 2nd F and 2nd R line up.)

I have one just like it with a ripper on the back, it will likely become a parts machine to another "11" I have. Yours looks pretty straight overall!
