I am about to buy a Komatsu D20-a 6 from a local private owner. Machine is in great condition accept for the drive sprockets. He has brand new complete sprockets with the centers that go with the machine. He says they are easy to change by loosing the tracks and lifting them off the sprockets, take the caps off, (I guess there is a nut that holds the sprockets on) and I can use a pry bar to remove the sprockets. Sounds easy enough to me. I will of coarse get someone to help with the lifting and also use my backhoe if needed. Does this sound right? If so, I plan to buy it. Price is $7,500.00 with sprockets, and a 12000 lb trailer to move it. What do you all think?
A little back round on me. I have been a diesel mechanic for 30 yrs., so tools/knowledge not a problem except I never worked on a bulldozer under carriage. I live in Edison, NJ, but have 40 acres in NE Pa where I plan to work (play) with the bulldozer. Hilly terrain with lots of rocks to work on (play with).
Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can give me!
