- We are preparing to sell our 1973 Case 1150B bulldozer. Part of the maintenance that needed done before listing it is tightening the tracks to the proper adjustment. Here’s a little “how to” video.
I don't why this in my reccomend, but I have a feeling this will be important to me in the future
So glad we gave someone That is making videos about 1150s you don’t see that very often and if something breaks on them you have to figure it out of your own keep up the videos I desperately may need one one day
from the looks of your dozer you will be needing new back sprockets soon as well they are worn to sharp points .
Thanks for the info, what are you asking for your dozer?
It’s sold. Sold quick before I could tag the info on this video
How much did you get for this one. I’m looking to get one. Thanks
Not as much as we’d hoped, $8k

Mine went forward a little bit but then stuck and won't finish tightening. Make no mistake, the track is still real loose drooping about 3 inches. Not like you right track was, that was horrid looking to lose the track. I've taken the side plates [8-15/16 bolts] off and squirted WD40 and I am using a high power 6000psi pneumatic grease gun @200psi. The MF won't budge.
I’m sure you’ve considered this, but is it possible that cylinder is completely extended?
@David Weilein Oh yea, There is an obvious difference in piston extension, plus I compared from the axel carriage to the end of the box frame and there is about an 1"- 1-1/2" difference.
The left piston is at 4 1/2"...The right piston I got to 4 1/8" [stuck at 4"] The left track I accidently made to tight and am going to have to run it with the grease fitting out to try and get it to loosen. The right one is now borderline ok.
How I eventually got it to move,
This 1150D has a 4 yard bucket on the front and a backhoe attachment on the back and I took a chain through behind the front wheel and connected it to the bucket, rotating and lifting the bucket to put tension on the front wheel pulling forward to help unstick it while also driving the right track forward and backwards to jolt it and with 6000 psi grease pressure on the piston. [I know a rather run on sentence.]
With the backhoe attachment and extra big ass steel for the bucket mechanism including the bucket itself, this thing is pushing 30,000lbs and does require a big rig low boy to transport. Quite expensive to send it to the shop and back which would be at least 40 miles each way. While I am an ASE certified automotive diagnostic technician, I certainly don't have the tools or equipment to work on something this big. Even a water pump would be a nightmare which it actually does need one. Could you imagine what it would take to take that 3' x 5" front wheel steel disk out? I don't know how much it weighs but I know I can't manhandle it in and out. That is what it would take to fix the slider stuck problem. It's probably rusted and needs to be taken apart, cleaned and surface conditioned at least with a wire wheel/sanding disk.
