Im not that worried about the trucks ,could i turn up with my Taurus tracked loader and meet a few different people.
I may have given the impression that i am only interested in trucks but i enjoy plant and tractors as well, in fact anything that moves as long as youre not expected to polish it.

Hi Martyn,

Ive just recently got hold of a Drott B6 K3 (BTD 6), serial number BD 1734 in good working order - Engine number BD 264 65601 if that helps, and would like to do a major overhaul with respect to oils. Jim Stoneman (Dozerman) from Victoria, Aus , advised me to contact you in the hope that you maybe able to give me some oil and fuel filter numbers.

The engine oil filter is a cartridge type located on the rh rear of the engine in a verticle cannister. The fuel filters are Donaldson P55711?? - white replaceable units with end caps - two off.

Interested in any info you can point to me

Regards

Will email you some filter numbers soon. Keep us posted on your progress. Before you change the fuel filters I would give the fuel tank a good cleanout and refill with fresh diesel.Also check the hydraulic pump drive for wear.A common fault on the BTD6 is that the "nose " bolts work loose.Use a trolley jack on the front end and see if there is vertical play.It would also be a good idea to remove the steering clutch inspection plates and inspect for water or brake lining debris.

With reference to Drott B6 K3 -engine BD264, engine number 65601, I am now experiencing Starter motor problems with a likely rebuild or replacement.

Can anybody advise if there is an after market model replacement or substitute unit to the OME.

Thanks

Gordon
