[AT] weighted tires or not???

[Cecil Bearden]

The old D6 had been sitting for nearly 10 years and the pony motor was a 
pain to keep running while cranking the main engine. The last few times 
we used it we pushed it to start.  I needed to drain the fuel from the 
pump , lines and bottom of tank before cranking.  We pushed the D6 onto 
the trailer with the D6D.  The fellow who did the pushing was very 
experienced.  He grew up on a dozer.  The old D6 had a stuck rack and 
plungers in the pump.  The fellow who I traded with grew up in the oil 
patch and worked on anything diesel in Portland Oregon for many years....

The fellow I traded with is a real mechanic.  We dropped the dozer off at about 1pm Sunday and loaded the grader and headed home.  He had the dozer running before dark!!!!!   <snip>
