Had some simple yet tedious tasks for a dozer that came in. It had several broken bolts for the hood that had to be extracted. A couple of track pads had to be replaced with some new pads and plow bolts.The main problem was that there was a hydraulic leak that turned out to be the filter. The reason for it was during the 1000 hour service the technician did not oil the filter gasket so it didn't seal properly. Also the put it on so tight that I had to use a strap wrench and give myself a hernia to get it off. During my inspection I also noticed there was several inches of much caked in the bottom of the engine compartment which could only lead to trouble down the road. Therefore I received the glorious task of removing all the belly panels and digging out all the mud. On the plus side I found two wrenches while doing so. :)
