Don't miss this chance to own a true classic, exceptionally well-cared for and field-ready. This 1978 Caterpillar D3 is the perfect machine for finish grading, landscaping, and utility work, featuring the highly sought-after 6-way blade for maximum control and versatility. Unlike many dozers of this age, this D3 boasts a recent mechanical overhaul, including a rebuilt track tensioner and a new water pump, meaning you can put it straight to work with confidence. There are no leaks on the hydraulics or the engine, and all pins are tight, reflecting a lifetime of responsible ownership. With new cutting edges and a good undercarriage, this machine is truly ready to move dirt.

This D3 offers the reliability of vintage CAT iron combined with the mechanical readiness of a much newer machine. Let me know if you'd like to draft up a quote for this dependable dozer!
