Upon heavy throttle I get some black smoke, then as it reaches RPM the smoke is gone. When I start it now, I get a few seconds of white smoke then clears up. After working the dozer for long periods of time (several times) that smoke has cleared up. Mine smoked terribly when first started and for 5 minutes. The smoke you describe on startup & throttle up sounds normal to me. In my case and so far (knock on wood) it's turned out to be a good gamble that has payed off. At first the right steering on mine was not working at all. I was sacred to death buying a dozer not knowing anything about them. Start it and work it at least once a week. Since it's going to be for occasional personal "farm" use it should have an easier life with a good chance it will last longer that you might imagine. What year is it? there are many online parts brokers with links to old equipment being parted out so you might be able to find decent used parts if needed. Post those pictures for evaluation by all the experts here. How much track tension is left?, you can tell by looking at the lower track rail toward the front near the front idler. Are the tracks loose / tight? get a side picture of both tracks from front to rear. Get some good clear pictures of the front idlers, rear sprockets, track rollers, & track links. diyDave raises many good questions & things to consider. From what you describe it sounds like it runs good and the steering breaks & clutches are OK.
