    Dozer help

    All, this is not a specific question for this forum but I need some help. Is there an online forum such as this that pertains to older heavy equipment? I need help with a brake issue on a 1964 International TD 25B dozer. Any input is appreciated.

    Missing Coolant?

    I have a Yanmar 1610 which I have owned for 2 years and really like. Recently I noticed a sweet smell while discing and it is apparently coolant. I have looked and can not find leaks. I had to add coolant and the next use I noticed an intermittent miss and the smell of coolant in the exhaust...
