Mitsubishi Dozer owners.

[John White]

There seems to be alot of Mitsubishi dozer owners out there. Often a person will ask for a part of a dealer and someone will answer , I am a dealer or I stock some parts. But no name or phone #. I just purchased a BD2J. Of course thease are grey market machinines. I am aware that Rhine Eqpt. in Tocoma can get you about anything you want. I was trying to come up with a oil filter so I could go to NAPA and purchase it and not pay alot on shipping. I couldnt filnd any one who sells them , who knew much more than I did. After extensive research I come up with the proper oil filter that I can purchase at my local parts store. Any one want to know the number contact me. Lets share a little more information and phone numbers of dealers who sell them who will help you. Or any other info on them. I have a Mitsbushi tractor, i needed a air filter for it. My local parts store could'nt help me. I found out that Mitsubishi makes tractors for Internaional. I went to a International dealer and they wernt very frindly but finall got them to pull a filter. Mine had a oem Mitsubishi # on it and through the Mits. dealer it was $35. The one at International was $25. ( with the Mitsbushi # on the filter inside the box. After I got home and was installing it I found a small peice of paper that said made by Donaldson. I called my local parts store and they had it in stock $15. But I had already bought the one from Int. So lets start a tread or do it here and Mitsbushi dozer owners share a few stories and informatilon.. For example some one said that the rollers and tracks are the same one used on the little D20 Komatsu. Is this true? ( There is a Komatsu dealer near me) Can you imagine what it would cost in freight to have a set of rails and pads shipped from Wash.

Sounds like a good idea. Maybe a thread in the parts/repairs forum would get more of a response. I guess if everyone could list their tractor by make and model, then the filters by type and number, maybe in their public profile, then if someone saw that you had the same kind of tractor they could see what you use and then try to get it local.

If you could make a table of parts and cross reference MFG and part numbers there are places you can post them on line for all to see.


Just a thought!

There has to be a ton of these dozers out there. I imagine most owners do their own maintaince and repairs. But it would be nice if some of those dealers who sell them would list the services they could provide. For example if you had a covnverter failure most of us might not try to tackle that job. Who works on the converters on these? Could it be taken to any trans shop. or would it have to be a person specalizing in Mitsubishi dozers? Most of us can change rollers, chains, sprockets and maybe even engine work. What about the injection pump? Who rebuilds thease. Some of you dealers jump in and let us know what services you provide.

Hey thanks for starting this thread and posting the info about rhine equipment. I didn't know about them prior to reading this thread. I talked with them for a while today about the mitsubishi wheel loader I'm looking at buying. They we're very informative and said they could get me just about any part I needed for it, even though there are very few of those machines in the states.
