If you’re looking for the ultimate "Bulletproof" dozer, this is it. This 1988 Caterpillar D7G is a former military tractor, meaning it was maintained to the highest standards before undergoing a massive professional overhaul. This isn't just a used machine; it’s a mechanical powerhouse that has been stripped down and rebuilt for maximum longevity.

With a brand-new, direct-injected engine (1,400 hours), new torque converter, and new transmission, the entire powertrain is essentially refreshed. The direct-injection setup means better fuel efficiency and easier starts compared to older pre-cup designs. Finished with a professional sandblast and fresh coat of paint, this D7G is in immaculate, show-room condition and ready to go straight to your toughest job site—whether that’s heavy clearing, ripping, or ranch development.

Key Features

  • Powertrain Overhaul: New engine (1,400 hrs), new torque converter, and new transmission installed simultaneously.
  • Engine Type: Direct Injected (No pre-cups) for improved reliability and fuel economy.
