My name is Jon by the way, I hope this helps

Parts is quite hard to find here in finland... the only thing that can be found is used parts, in the -70s these machines where common at peat fields. they were popular because of the extremly cheap price (surprice...).
And the 1970 model is almost the same as the "modern" 1990 model, the only difference is the cab. on older models it was a darn ugly round model, on the "new" model it looks like the one on my machine.
usually i have ordered the parts from Estonia, they are almost free but you need a lot of parts... and patience to adjust the dry stering clutches and brakes :noway:

in this picture it has a perkins engine with 3 speed PS, the original engine seized and i scrapped it and put in the MF engine/tranny.
so now it has 3 speed power shift (F/R) + the reduction gearbox with 5 ranges and the 7 speed+ reverse gear box. imagine going trough every gear
somebody with mathematic talents could try to figure out how many speed options it has

Interesting looking machine. It probably ran like a tank back then.

That is what I was gonna ask, how do you get pats?

Steve

here you have it Steve

I have been thinking about scrapping my russian DT75 dozer, i think thats the best you can do with it

Steve, good to have you! As a former scrappie (I grew up around shredders and burning yards) I'll throw in my two cents. Most likely he is buffereing his profit margin, but it may be that the successive machines you bring in may have different levels of heavy iron, so he may be cutting that price. One machine may have more high grade scrap thatn the other. What kind of machines are you scrapping?
