Does anybody know what dozer came with a 5.9 12-valve Cummins?

I was stationed in Okinawa and our shop was working on a Dozer that I was told was the exact same engine placed in the dodge trucks back then. (1992 or earlier) It looked the same with the six individual valve covers. It wasn’t a very large dozer and yet it wasn’t very small either. I can’t seem to find any information on line regarding military Cummins powered bulldozers. I looked like a D3 or similar. USMC Engineers 3d Fssg.

 

Maybe a Case ?

 

They have a website . www.3fssg.usmc.mil .Maybe they can give you info .

 

Case dozers , as well as Komatsu used the 5.9 , i would also look into new holland heavy equipment , as well as kobelco ( although i do not know if kobelco makes dozers).

I can't tell you what models of komatsu had the cummins in them , but we had a 5.9 at the school where i did my block release , and it stated that it was built for komatsu on the data tag. It had the industrial head on it ( fuel filter heads are built into the cylinder head) and a VE style pump.

We have a kobelco Excavator at work right now , with a 5.9 cummins in it.

 

My dad's Branson 4wd tractor has a cummins in it.

 

our Case 1150g has a 5.9 Cummins in it

 

Thanks Very Much all !!!

From what I can see it looks like it was a Case 1150g

But picture the color being alive drab.

Another fun machine we worked on was the EBFL.. But i dont believe it had a Cummins.

Best Regards,

Why no ford or GM V8 Diesels in them and all the others??

 

I had a freind who installed a straight six 300 in a small dozer a few years back. It was one of those machines that would kill you if you were not carefull. It would pull the front tracks in the air when let out the clutch.

 

I haven't seen a clutch on a dozer in over 30 years . Front tracks ?????

 

I have more to add to the list , Dresser used the 5.9, and i found an old fiat loader at work today , with a, you guessed it , a 6BT cummins in it. There is also an old forklift there with a 4B in it, but i forget the brand now.

And they probable use the cummins instead of a Navistar or Izuzu V8 because the cummins is reliable?

 

dresser is now a komatsu. komatsu uses 3 versions of the 5.9 the older machines run a mechanical one the tier 1 used in the early motel's. an electronic engine witch is the tier 2 engine. and a hpcr witch is the tier 3 engine. they use them in all machines from loaders, dozers and excavators

 

My Branson has a Cummins too but it sure ain't the 5.9. (48hp)
